Florence Hartley To Sing With University Symphony
DR
VOLPE DIRECTS
Florence Hartley, dramatic so-n0 will appear with the Univer-pra 0’f Miami Symphony Orchestra S?h Dr. Arnold Volpe conducting The first’ of a series of twelve con-"rtg at the Miami Senior High School auditorium on December 7.
The young soprano has just completed a year's tutelage with Mme. Louise Homer, famed prima donna 0f the Metropolitan, whose prized scholarship she has won for three consecutive seasons. She has also studied under Professor Benson of the Eastman School of Music, Rochester.
Miss Hartley was born in Hamilton, Scotland, and was first taught to sing Scotch songs of the Highlands by Paddy Lynch, a “bobbie” on the police force of her home town.
In 1921 she came with her family to America, where she immediately established herself in a church choir. A philanthropic woman heard Miss Hartley sing in a choir and recognizing talent in the young, untrained voice, she persuaded the girl to allow her to give her a few instructions and then urged her to further her studies.
Dr. and Mrs. Volpe attended a recital given by the young artist and were so impressed by her range and tonal quality that they immediately signed her up for the first concert.
The soprano soloist will sing a selection from the Wagnerian opera, “Die Valkerie,” and an aria entitled “Ocean, Thou Mighty Monster,” from the opera “Oberon” by Von Weber.
The program is as follows:
1.	Overture, “Marriage of Figaro” Mozart
2.	Symphony No. 4 ....... Tschaikowsky
a.	Andante sostenuto. Moderato
con anima
b.	Andantino in modo di canzona
c.	Scherzo. Pizzicato ostinato
d.	Finale. Allegro con iuoco

Queen of Clubs to be Chosen At Annual Dance December 19
Who will be Queen?
The burning question of the hour, the question that is harrying statesmen, shaking thrones, and baffling great newspaper minds into a state of garrulous confusion, will be answered definitely and finally on December 19 in the Miami Biltmore Country Club when she who leads all the rest in beauty and charm will be proclaimed and crowned—Queen of Clubs.
Of the twenty clubs and sororities of Greater Miami invited to participate in the contest which is a feature of the annual Queen of Clubs Dance for the benefit of the Donald Grant Memorial library fund, thirteen have already submitted the names of their candidates.
The University of Miami will be represented by: Adele Rickel, Alpha Kappa Alpha; Patricia Cluney, Delta Tau; Travis Lee Harris, Lambda Phi; Josephine Litz, Sigma Phi; Maree Garvin, Sport Club; Jeanette Nelson, Theta Chi; and Evelyn Isaac, Zeta Phi.

more funds needed
In a little four room house, two amihes who together number sixteen people are struggling for existence.
Pretending to be in search of a Place to bring their laundry, Helene Couch and Phyllis Heinrich visited the home and recommended it as one especially typical of the type of home which the Hurricane Committee are planning to help at Christmas.
The two mothers take in washings, their husbands work over a barren little garden to raise food for the home. Most of the children are very young, and show signs of undernourishment and lack of proper clothing.
The home though pitifully small and inadequate was unbelievably neat and clean, considering the crowded conditions. The furniture was all very old and dilapidated.
The girls feel that the families are very deserving and the situation is chronic enough to merit all the help that can be given.
A box has been placed in the Hurricane office to receive any contributions which may be offered. The committee especially requests staple articles of food, such as canned goods, coffee, sugar, flour, cereals, etc., and also all kinds of clothing Toys for younger children are requested. Additional funds will be required in order to procure the necessary articles of food and clothing for these needy people. Several collections will be taken up at the Uni versity within the next two weeks for this purpose.

Celebration of the University of Miami Homecoming for the year of 1936 has acquired a place of distinction in the annals of successful enterprise. All events functioned smoothly, and a good time was had by all. In spite of our defeat by the “Ole Miss” football team, the entire homecoming program was one worthy of particular mention.
Miami U’s band sallied forth Friday afternoon with trumpets blaring, and represented the Alma Mater in a fine showing of spirit and fiery music. Miami citizens were for once aware that the University of Miami is a wide-awake college, not just a name.
At 8 p.m. Friday evening Miamians, 10,000 strong, watched the Hurricanes clash in a desperate battle with “Ole Miss.” We lost, but to a heavier, more experienced team.
The Miami Alumni Association dance at the Miami Biltmore Hotel, which served as the grand finale of the evening's entertainment, set a precedent as one of the most successful social events in the series of annual alumni presentations.
Fraternities of the University observed open house for the student body on Saturday night. From the appearance of the number of attendants, the entertainment was thoroughly enjoyed and appreciated by both students and alumni.
Included among the events preceding the homecoming inauguration by the band parade were the Wednesday morning student assesmbly held in honor of the University alumni, and the Y.W.C.A. recognition service in the social hall Thursday evening.
Bill Frey Composes Grid Song
Mr. William Frey, varsity trainer at the University, has composed a series of verses which he thinks should be put to music and sung by the fans at the remaining football games. What do you think of it? “Play the ball, Miami,
Play the ball,
Play the ball, Miami,
Before you fall,
If they throw it through the sky, To another Georgetown guy,
Bat it down—don’t be shy,
Play the ball.”
Warner Hardman, Pianist, Plays Bach, Schumann, Chopin in Concert
Before an almost capacity audience at the University last Monday night, Warner Hardman achieved new heights in his pianistic career.
Opening the program with a playful Bourree by Bach, the young virtuoso then performed the Prelude in E Minor, a work by this faultless composer which is seldom heard. The first group of solos was concluded with Schumann’s Papillons which was made all the more intelligible by Hardman’s keen analysis of the motifs preceding his rendition.
The second group included the works of modernists with the exception of Liszt. Debussy’s mystic Arabesque was followed by the ever popular Albeniz Tango. In this case, the intervention of Godowsky’s arrangement of this number was noticeable. Another Debussy selection, Reflections on the Water, was interpreted with a feminine touch very befitting the composition. Liszt’s beloved Liebestraume finished this portion of the program and here we must pause to commend the soloist upon his excellen rendition of a work ridden to tatters by other pianists. Perhaps it was the familiarity of the composition which so greatly delighted the audience.
The latter part of the program consisted of five Chopin works. So much has been said regarding Chopin and the piano that it is hardly necessary to expand upon the beauty of that composer’s works. This much, however, can be said of the soloist’s interpretation of the master: Hardman captured the docile as well as the forceful mood of Chopin with the same degree of skill. His virile rendition of the martial Polonaise was a delight to the audience who demanded more from the young artist.
Hardman responded with the most popular of all Debussy numbers, Clair de Lune.
Louis Fobel and Jimmy Bujold, representing Phi Alpha fraternity, and Milton Wassman and Jerome Wienkle, representing the School of Business Administration, won the preliminary debates in the first annual All-University debate contest held Tuesday night in the Social Hall.
Both winning teams upheld the negative side of the question, “Resolved: that juniors and seniors be allowed unlimited class cuts at the University of Miami.” The contest is being sponsored by the Debate Council.
The winners will meet in a final debate tonight at 6:45 o’clock in the Social Hall. The winning team will receive medals and have their names engraved on a loving cup which will remain in permanent possession of the University. The runner-up team will also receive medals.
Fobel and Bujold won a close decision from Albert Tetor and Edward Wasle, Independents, in the first debate Tuesday night. Wassman and Wienkle easily outclassed Earl Clarke and Bill Todd, both Phi Alphas, in the second debate.
Mrs. Opal E. Motter, of the Dramatics Department; Mr. Scott Mason, of the English Department, and Professor Otho Overholser, Debating Coach, served as judges for the contest.
Tommy Lee, who acted as chairman of the contest, said, “In spite of the small turnout of contestants I feel that our efforts have been successful in our attempt to establish this contest as a permanent annual affair.”

As the University’s contribution to the success of the stadium referendum to come before the voters of Miami on Friday, students will be excused from classes Friday to assist at the municipal polls. Any student desiring to share in this work must apply at the Hurricane office and be assigned to a committee, each of which will have a chairman to instruct the students and to command a special post. Notices will be posted on the bulletin boards on Thursday to inform the students to which precinct they have been assigned.
At a special assembly called by Helene Couch, vice-president of the student body, on Wednesday, the stadium situation was presented to the University^students. Judge Wayne Allen, Miami judge and an alumnus of Ole Miss, and Hayes Wood, county and state tax collector and a graduate of the University of Miami, were introduced by Dr. Jay W. Pearson. They stressed the advantages to be obtained by the building of the new stadium.
Both speakers complimented the varsity footbal players on the success of the team this year, to which Nat Glogowski, president of the student body, responded with a speech of thanks.
Rev. Pennington Lectures
The Rev. E. L. Pennington of the Holy Cross Episcopal Church conducted a series of two lectures on the growth of the English Church, before Dr. Briggs’ British History class, on Tuesday and Wednesday of this week.
Rev. Pennington, who is an authority on the period of the Reformation, is engaged at present in writing a book on this particular subject.
His first lecture traced the early beginnings of Christianity and followed its progress up to the Reformation Period. The second lecture was a very vivid account of the founding of the Anglican Church and a brief discussion of the good and the bad effects of the Reformation.
The lectures supplemented text material and provided the English history students with a more concentrated point of view.
Legal Fraternity Host To Representatives of Thirty Chapters
The ninth national convention of Phi Beta Gamma, honorary legal fraternity, to which the Kappa Chapter of the University of Miami will be host, will be held at the Miami Biltmore Hotel December 10, 11, and 12 th. Representatives from thirty chapters are expected to attend.
The convention will begin on Thursday, December 10th, wtith a roll call at the Biltmore. There will be two business sessions on Thursday and Friday which prominent members of the bar from all over the country will attend. Federal District Judge John W. Holland and many other noted lawyers have been invited to speak.
Arrangements have been made for a beach party on Friday afternoon, and those attending the convention have been promised tickets to Tropical Park.
The convention will be brought to a close by an official formal banquet and dance in the dining room of the Biltmore.
Robert Boyer is chairman of the committee in charge and business arrangements will be handled by the Executive Council of the fraternity whose headquarters are in Washington.
The Kappa Chapter was organized at the University of Miami in 1933. Mr. William Hester, instructor in the Law School, and Mr. John McLeland, instructor in economics, both of whom are graduates of the University, were influential in the formation of the fraternity at that time. The purpose of the organization is to bring the members of the Law School into closer relationship and fellowship with each other. At present there are approximately fifteen active members.
Officers of the Kappa Chapter are: John Boyer, chief justice; Samuel Monroe, associate justice; Charles Girtman, clerk; and Lon Worth Crow, treasurer.
And now, Georgetown.
From the shadows of the Nation’s capital, way up in Washington, D. C., come the Hoyas, mighty men of the gridiron, boasting a powerful scoring machine that has completely humbled six of eight opponents and failed in but one game; these husky lads of the pigskin will romp the greensward of Miami stadium tomorrow night in strenuous combat with Miami’s Hurricane eleven.
Undaunted by their recent setback, so graciously dished out by the Mississippi Rebels, the Hurricanes will take the field with their customary vim tomorrow evening in an endeavor to halt the second of three murderous onslaughts selected to haunt the heavy end of their schedule.
Georgetown has a football team of the first water this time. It ambled over Bucknell to the funeral march tune of 19-0; Miami beat the Bisons 7-0. Georgetown has only dropped one contest, to Manhattan 13-0, and they held one of the greatest N.Y.U. teams ever assembled to a 7-7 square deal. The Hoyas have whipped the socks off of Delaware, Cincinnati, Shenandoah, W. Virginia and Maryland in their other games this season.
One, Tom Keating, is reputed to be the high mogul of the Hoyas when it comes to offensive affairs. He weighs about 160 pounds and each one is super-charged with ability to punt, pass and gallop galore. This Keating gentleman plays quarterback for the Georgetown bunch and has managed to pick up around 500 yards from scrimmage all by himself this fall.
And still the Hurricanes remain undisturbed. Eddie Dunn and Bob Masterson gave probably the best efforts capable of their respective bodies in that Rebel fray, and this one can’t be any worse than that. Somehow or other you can always count on Wolcuff and Glogowski to come through fighting, and that holds for Shinn and Dicker too. With men like these in that forewall a feeling of assurance is predominant on the entire outfit.
You can bet your bottom dollar that Gostowski, Csaky and Vaccar-elli would put up a brawl, even if the Hoyas had conquered Notre Dame this year. Jake Rose, Sal Mas-tro, Walt Kichefski and little George Dolan will battle hard if called upon.
Last year Miami journeyed up to Washington for their second scheduled game, and practically the same team that they will play tomorrow night sent them home on the weak end of a 13-0 decision.
Tomorrow night’s battle promises to be just that. Revenge is one of the sweetest things that man can hope for, and Miami wants it bad. The Hurricanes will be the underdogs, of course, but what does that mean in a football game?
YE AH... BUT CAN YOU take it?
Have you ever wondered who keeps the zoology lab in such imperfect order? Muriel MacDonald, who thinks she is head assistant, is responsible. Three years ago, she was just a deserted flower born to blush unseen; now in the lab she reigns as queen, but still blushes.
Every animal from the lowly pro-toza to the primates is familiar to Miss MacDonald, especially the latter. However, there are more girls than boys in the class. She rules with an iron hand and allows no horse play in the Zoology Department. She does permit smoking and drinking to go on, but nothing much worse than Camels and Coca Colas, her favorites.
Contrary to the expert opinion of Mr. Leary, Miss MacDonald declares that this year’s freshman class is the dumbest yet. Muriel is broadminded, however, and lets them help her with economics, which she hopes to pass. She may get through chemistry also, although she has no freshmen to help her.
Muriel spent her freshman year at Florida State College for Women.
She was disappointed. There are no men at that institution. The next year found her at the University of Miami. She has been here three years. So, that settles the question, “Are we men or are we mice?”
Miss MacDonald is vice-president of that famous sorority, Zeta Phi, known for its vicious volleyballers and for the Zeta Phi Carnival. All the students make money at the carnival, all the students belonging to Zeta Phi, and all the students who stay home.
This year Muriel is a senior, and it won’t be long now before she graduates. Everyone likes to leave some sort of indelible record at the University when their time is up. The initials on the desks and the writing on the walls seem to bear this out. Well, Muriel has compiled an enviable record in her line for which she and the University may justly be proud. In the past three years she has thrown more cigarette butts on the zoology lab floor than any other person, which will remain a vivid monument to the greatness of Miss Muriel MacDonald.
