IBIS ATTACKED
BY F.S.U. BAND
A plot to steal and/or destroy Sebastian the Ibis ended in a bizarre chase Saturday night at the Fontainebleau Hotel on Miami Beach. Using a clever ruse, the Seminole band lured our friend and mascot, Sebastian, to a non-existent meeting of the Women, Press Photographers Association which was in session at the hotel. Sebastian was met at the door by a member of the “wind section” posing as a photographer. Thinking that he was supposed to be posing for the Association. Sebastian unsuspectingly posed for the imposter.
But the ruse did not last long. Sebastian was soon aware of others on the scene. When thè photographer told him that he was in reality a member of the F.S.U. Band, Sebastian took flight. Knowing how fearsome our bird can be when aroused, Sebastian fled not only from the photographer himself but from his forty odd friends as well. All were intent upon having feathers from a most unlikely place and it was no wonder that Sebastian felt a tinge*of worry —not fear mind you, for our mascot knows no fear, but just worry.
Seminoles, Seminoles everywhere but not a friendly face was to be seen. Sebastian vaulted the wall of the fountain in front of the »hotel with Seminoles hot on his trail. Since he was lured to "enemy territory” by a ruse, Sebastian’s lightening quick mind decided to trick rather than maim the pursuing Seminoles. Instead of gracefully ascending the tiers of the fountain, he plunged headfirst into the icy waters. The Seminoles stopped to laugh and Sebastian had his chance. While paralyzed with laughter, Sebastian, fled to the car which brought him. But he was beset by Indians. Realizing that his kind treatment would do no good, Sebastian finally resorted to violence and, sad to say, several Seminoles will bear beak marks for the rest of their lives.
Of course, this is not the first time Sebastian has been attacked. We recall a game with the University of Florida about, two years ago during which Sebastian was attacked by a herd of Gators. This time, however, he was among friends. The University.’s famous Band of the Hour was present and immediately came to his defense. Of course whenever more than one representative of Miami is present, the opponents haven’t a chance of success in any venture, especially in harming our bird.
Outnumbered forty to one, Sebastian drew strength from the knowledge that the students of the U. of M. would need him to lead the fight against Purdue in the Orange Bowl next Saturday, Sebastian finally fought his way clear and limped back to the UM campus where he now nurses his wounds. He sends greetings from his sickbed and hopes that he will be well enough to again take to the football field.
The Ibis, as you know is a strange bird and most of the knowledge of Ibis comes from Sebastian himself. He tells us that the real tonic for such injuries is loud cheering from all of us both in the pep rally and at the game Saturday. Let’s all help our sick bird ...
PEP RALLY TONIGHT
Student spirit at the University of Miami will reach an all-time high this week with the school’s first all campus March for Spirit and the biggest and best pep rally ever held.
Tonight at seven, the 720 dorm will be the starting point of the March for Spirit. Led by the Band of the Hour, students will march through campus and assemble to rally at the Eaton Pep Arena. Once there, guest performers and our own U of M cheerleaders will entertain and help amplify the U of M fighting spirit.
At six o’clock Saturday evening, a police escorted car parade will leave the parking lot of the old Student Union and proceed to the Orange Bowl for a pre-game pep rally.
Student life means more than books, registration and study. Don’t be a stagnant student. When you hear the band, come along and join us.
PURDUE DUE
The Purdue Boilermakers roll into town Saturday night boasting a defense that has been hard to beat for the last two seasons. In 1961 they lead the Big Ten and ranked just behind Minnesota.
The Boilermakers stumbled to a 4-4-1 record last year but were better than the record would seem to indicate. They lost their last nine games by a cumlative total of twenty-six points. The The first time they lost by as much as a touchdown was in I960 when they bowed to Iowa, 21-14.
Losses in the line, including All-American Don Brumm will be hard to replace, but Coach John Mollenkopf seems to have the knack of coming up with the right man for almost any job.
Purdue’s first line will probably start seven lettermen and each of the other positions boasts an experienced junior or sophomore ready to fill in.
The backfield lost some shifty runners but still remains a powerful force and not to be discounted.
Ron DiGravio and Gary Hogan will share quarterback duties as they did last year. With better receivers, who may appear this year, the two should have some success.
DiGravio, who’s had only 7 passes intercepted in two years, completed 34 of 92 for 629 yards and 5 TD’s; Hogan had 35 of 77 for 389 yards. Both are sharp throwers and good field generals, although neither is especially dangerous running.
The Hurricanes will have to be on the lookout for Gene Donaldson, a line bruising fullback on offense, and a Rock of Gibralter linebacker on defense. Second in rushing last fall with 249 yards (5.4 average), he may be the league's toughest fullback.
If they have uncovered an offensive punch to go with their highly touted defense, a terrific game will be in store for the fans Saturday night at the Orange Bowl.

Ibis is insured for $1,000 — for what other bird walks around with a short-wave radio system worth $200 locked within his head?

“If someone should damage the Ibis now he will be prosecuted by the insurance company,” said Lowrey.
“I don’t want to mean this as a challenge,” he said. I do hope no team gets the wrong idea.”
During the Christmas season the bird turns into an Ibis Claus and gives out candy and toys to the youngsters.

permanent allocations,” said Clasby. “A good lecture series needs strong financial backing.”
Clasby would like to see the lecture series get between $5,000 to $6,000 from the student activity fund.
The USG council set aside $2,185 for such expenses as elections, honor council, Ibis pictures, student court and postage. Also included in the last appropriation is money for Southern Undergraduate Student Government Association conventions.
