JOLT GEORGETOWN The Miami THE OFFICIAL STUDENT NEWSP A P E R OF Hurricane THE UNIVERSITY OF MIAMI STOP STETSON Volume 9 Coral Gables, Florida, October 18, 1935 Number 4 HURRICANES EN ROUTE FOR NORTHERN GAME I he University Band and several hundred students cheered the Miami football players as the gridmen entrained for Washington, D.C., where they will meet Georgetown University tomorrow afternoon. The Hurricanes left yesterday morning from the Florida East Coast Railway Depot. They will arrive in time to take a limbering up workout. They will return in time for classes Monday morning. NOTICE Crowd Accepts First Offering Of Thespians Roxy Lewis and Maxwell Marvin Give Stellar Performance in Comedy Presentation With a scintillating presentation of “Her Master’s Voice,” a comedy in two acts, the University Players, under the direction of Mrs. Opal E. Motter, auspiciously inaugurated their dramatic season yesterday evening at the University Theatre. A capacity audience of both students and outsiders articulately expressed its approval of the characterizations, scenery, and lighting effects. Every member of the cast gave well rounded and knowing performances, getting into the levity of the comedy with just the proper light-heartedness. Maxwell Marvin, in the lead role as Ned Farrar, was the outstanding comedian of the play. His voice, walk, and gestures were remarkably coincident with Ned’s dry and pertinent humor. In act two, scene one, his feat of talking with a mouthful of nails proved one of the most hilarious parts of the play. Roxy Lewis, as Ned’s wife gave a praiseworthy performance in a part that required both emotional and light acting. Her crying scene at the beginning of the play was done with genuine feling and real tears. Mary Page’s Mrs. Martin, Ned’s mother-in-law, was an effective Zasu Pitts seasoned with delectable cinnamon. Miriam Lockhart’s aggressive and culturally saucy Aunt Min was an Edna May Oliver characterization, without the movie star’s singular, gestures and vocal expressions. Rosalyn Daum, Frank Fitch, and Rudolph Lund in the minor roles of Phoebe, Craddock, and Mr. Twillings, respectively, all gave fine characterizations. The original stage sets, designed by Dotty May Buddington, together with the fine lighting effects, helped exceedingly toward the enjoyment of the play. Mr. C. H. Motter is the stage technician and Bill Maloney the stage manager. Don Wilson operates the lights. The stage crew is made up of Brad Franklin, Lee Huffman, Theodore Robertson, and Frank Glickman. Fred Ashe, Gabriel Szitas, and Rudolph Krummer supplied the back stage “radio music.” “Her Master’s Voice” will again be presented this evening in the University Theatre at eight-thirty p.m. Student activity books will admit all students. By Herb Fenne Something to be proud of! That phrase can be well applied to the University of Miami band, one of the leading organizations of its kind in the country. And the person to receive much of the credit for this fact is Charles Staltman, its student director. Few people hear of him and few realize the many hours of hard work which he turns in each day so that the band may live up to its reputation. Mr. Staltman, a junior in the university, has charge of the band at all football games and pep meetings, and is held responsible for every move they make. But indeed, this is not as far as his musical activities extend. He is one of the competent instructors at the Conservatory of Music in Miami, where much of his time is given over to teaching. He sings in the Congregational Church Choir, which is under the supervision of Mrs. Bergh. This winter Mr. Staltman also expects to direct a community band at Redlands every Thursday evening. This position was brought to him through his excellent work last year as director of the Shenandoah Jr. High School Symphony Orchestra. So, you see, he has a great deal of work on his hands and only the short time of twenty-four hours each day in which to cram it. Most of the twenty-two years of WATER STARS TRAIN FOR STRENUOUS YEAR Coaches Burr and Forsythe State that Positions Are Wide Open For New Candidates In preparation for an arduous schedule that will contain eight A.A.U. meets, the University of Miami swimming squad is being put through its practice sessions in an effort to whip together a formidable team. Coaches Burr and Forsythe state that all positions are wide open and that every swimmer must prove his right to be the Hurricane’s representative. The schedule is in a tentative state, but is certain to contain dual meets with a few colleges and universities, in addition to the A.A.U. meets, four of which will be held in the Miami area. This list of events will be the most pretentious ever undertaken by the Orange, Green and White. The teams of men and women swimmers, will contain six mermen and six naiads. These representatives will be selected from the squads that have been working out under the tutelage of Coaches Burr and Forsythe for the past three weeks. The male squad contains: Bill Quayle, John Taylor, Bob Iba, Willard Fountain, Sears Williams, Jack Burr, Bill Ellington, Estien Blust, and Garnett Stinson. The members of the female squad are: June Burr, Mary Jane Richardson, Betty Baldwin, Betty Harven, Helen Couch, Denise Caravasios, Joan Goeser, and Madeline Cheney. Mr. Staltman’s life have been spent in connection with music. He first became interested in his instrument, the flute, in an elementary school in Detroit, where he received his first instructions. He continued his lessons and while a student at Cass Technical High School, he was sent to represent Detroit, in the national high school orchestra which met in Chicago that year. Three months before graduation from Cass, he left school to travel with the Detroit Philharmonic Orchestra. The experience gained here has been invaluable to him, for as Mr. Staltman says, “You can’t buy that sort of education.” However, much credit for his musical ability must be given to his teacher, Mr. John Wummer, of the Detroit Symphony Orchestra. That next summer, Mr. Staltman attended the Wainright Band Camp of Indiana; which has as its director, Mr. W. Schaeffer of the University of Miami. Mr. Schaeffer became interested in the ability of Charles and offered him a scholarship to this school. Upon his arrival here, the following spring, Mr. Staltman found the University Band discontinued. In order to stimulate the interest of the music minded people and to attract them to the school, Mr. Staltman played flute solos at various clubs, (Continued from Front Page) Two Sectional Tours Form Stiff Schedule For 35 Tennis Team Captain Gardner Mulloy To Lead Netters For 1935-36 Season Two tours of the country are to be made by the University of Miami tennis team this season. One of these trips will take the boys through the south where they are scheduled to meet the leading colleges and universities of this sector. The opposing teams listed up to date are Rollins, University of Florida, University of North Carolina, University of South Carolina, Georgia Tech, and Davidson. This formidable aggregation of opponents would ordinarily be enough for any school to contend with. But not satisfied with confining their efforts to the South, the Hurricanes plan a second jaunt, this time making a circuit of the northern universities. The matches planned on this trip are to be played with Princeton, Harvard, New York University, Columbia, Yale, Dartmouth, and Williams. Thesie teams appear to be even stronger than the southern foes, and will undoubtedly give the Miami team stiff battles. This year’s squad is headed by Captain Gardner Mulloy, the Western New England Amateur Champion. Last Tuesday Captain Mulloy received his first taste of both competition and victory this fall. Playing brilliantly throughout the match, he defeated Carrol Turner in the finals to win the Miami City Championship. Another star of the squad is Jack Behr of Jackson Heights, New York. He is the Eastern Interscholastic Champion, and last spring was a finalist in the Princeton Interscholastic (Continued on Back Page) SYMPHONY BAND WILL OPEN CONCERT SERIES The University Symphonic Band under the direction of Walter Sheaf-fer, will open its Monday night series of concerts on October 21st, at the Recital Hall, 1401 N. E. 2nd Avenue, Miami, at 8:30 p.m. These concerts will be held every Monday night, and are designed for the pleasure of the music lovers of the community. A varied program of the best in music will be offered. Student’s activity books will be acceptable for admission, but to the general public there will be a charge of forty cents. Season tickets may be procured for four dollars. The program for the opening concert on Monday, October 21st is: Overture, “The Vikings,” (Hartman) ; Cornet Solo by Gladney Head, “The Southern Cross,” (Clarke) ; “Andante and March from 6th Symphony,” (Tschaikowsky); “Scenes from Andrea Chenier,” (Giordane); “Praeludium,” (Jarnefelt); Marimba Duet by Wallace and Franklin Bryan, Finale to “William Tell,” (Rossini); “Alma Mater.” A play by play description of the University of Miami - Georgetown game will be announced in the Auditorium on Saturday afternoon at 2:15 p.m. This service is made possible by means of a Western Union wire direct from the Griffith Stadium, Washington, D.C. Admission to the Auditorium will cost twenty-five cents. There will also be entertainment between the halves. Students are urged to back this undertaking, as it is the first of its type ever undertaken by the University. It has also been underwritten by several of the fraternities and sororities on the campus, the Band, the “M” Club, and the Sports Club. Dr. Bowman F. Ashe aided materially in obtaining this service for the students of the University. John D* Behr Elected Freshman President Norton, Page, Lambeth, Grume, and Iba Are Other Officers John Donald (Jack) Behr, of Jack-son Heights, Long Island, was elected president of the freshman class on Tuesday when the freshmen held their election meeting in the auditorium. The other officers elected were: Shirly Morton, vice-president; Mary Page, secretary-treasurer; and John Lambeth, Barbara Crume and Bob Obe, senators. Following the presidential election Jack Behr asked the whole-hearted support of the freshman class when the freshman frolics are to be presented. Mr. Behr also asked for an immediate freshman-sophomore contest, but was refused by Sal Mastro. However, after some discussion December 6th was set as the date when a freshman-sophomore tug of war will take place, providing the freshman class conducts itself properly in the mean time. Jack Behr is the Eastern Interscholastic Tennis champion of 1935. He was graduated from Scarborough High School, Scarborough-on-the-Hudson, in June, and is down here on a tennis scholarship. He is a Delta Sigma Kappa pledge. Gables Policemen Have No Complaint on Bonfire Chief D. E. Sox of the Coral Gables Police Department, in an interview with a Hurricane representative, said of the parade and bonfire, “I have had no complaints on the action of the University students so far. In past years the students have cooperated with the police force in Coral Gables and we have tried to reciprocate.” Weekly Journalism Discussion Will Be Offered To Students Miami Hurricane Inaugurates Series of Lectures; Dr. Lowe Is First Speaker The editorial board of the Miami Hurricane announces the inuagura-tion of a series of round table discussions concerning the place of Journalism in the College of today. Owing to the fact that no courses of journalism are offered to the student body here at the University, the Hurricane is presenting these courses for the double purpose of training a more expert staff and opening to any interested student study in this important field. The first round table discussion will be held this coming Wednesday at 12:45 p.m. in room 208. The guest speaker for this occasion will be Dr. Orton Lowe, professor of the department of English who will outline the place of Journalism in college life. Harry Feller, editor-in-chief of the Hurricane, will present a short talk explaining more in detail the purposes and aims of the course. Elaborate preparations have been made by the staff to make this study a comprehensive one. It is planned that the meetings will take place once a week for a period of . a month, with the alternative of extending the course if it is deemed advisable. Others who are planning to speak (Continued on Back Page) EDITOR’S NOTE: The following essay was written by Sylva Goodman of Detroit, Michigan, winner of the First Prize in the Essay Contest sponsored by the Panhellenic House Association, Beckman Tower and Courier Service of N. Y. C. I want to visit New York, not Jimmie Walker’s tinsel city, nor Odd McIntyre’s merry-go-round of celebrities, but Walt Whitman’s Manhattan, and Max Miller’s. I don’t care about Dinty Moore, nor Hattie Carnegie, nor Broadway, nor the Empire State Building, but I do care about the rather mad crowd of the subway and the elevated, and I want to be part of the crowd, just once. I want to sit, in the balcony or on the stair—it doesn’t matter, at the Metropolitan, to hear Lily Pons and Tibbett and Grace Moore. I want to walk along the waterfront at night, and become intimate with the Atlantic, and smell salt air and oil from engines, and hear a fog horn from a stamp steamer. I want to eat peanuts in Central Park. I want to walk into the office of a popular magazine, to thank a certain editor for surpassingly gentle rejections. I want to ride the ferry to Jersey, with the wind sharp in my face. I want to stand on the dock when a great ship sails for Southhampton, or Gibraltar, or Paradise ; I want to mingle with the crowds; wave my handkerchief to the passengers; cry because sailings are sad, for you may never know Gridmen To Be Feted By Alumni In Washington Twenty-six Members Taken To Game; Marks Entrance Into Major Football Tensely primed for their entrance into big time football against Georgetown University, the Miami Hurricanes left for Washington, D.C., yesterday morning at eleven o’clock. The team is scheduled to arrive at Washington this afternoon and will stay at the Burlington Hotel. After resting from their journey, the Hurricanes will engage in a light workout. The game will be played at Griffith Stadium, one of the largest stadiums in the east, with a seating capacity of 35,000. Though the Hurricanes will be heavy underdogs when they enter the game tomorrow afternoon at 2:30, every member of the team has promised to be in there fighting every minute of the game. Special parties of students and alumni from Miami left for Washington by motor car, train, and bus. In addition to these groups, some two hundred alumni of the Eastern States will attend the game and the Alumni Banquet in the evening. There will be large delegations from Massachusetts, West Virginia, Pennsylvania, and New York. The alumni headquarters will also be set up in the Burlington Hotel. At the Alumni Banquet, following the game, plans will be made for the establishment of local chapters of the Alumni Association. Members of the Hurricane football team will be feted at the banquet. A special section of Griffith Stadium has been reserved for the Miami delegation. Georgetown’s fifty piece Reserve Officers Training Corp band will play the Miami alma mater for the alumni and students. The Hurricanes will leave Washington Saturday night and return to the University Monday morning. Mallory Horton Chosen Law School President At a recent meeting of the students of the Law Schol, officers were elected for the coming school year. Mallory Horton was elected to the office of president; Frank Strahan, vice-president; James Buckley, secretary-treasurer. Senators from the three classes of the law school were also elected but these positions have been made tentative because of the non-compliance to the correct procedure of selecting them at the previous meeting. what it is like. I want to walk around Columbia University, nonchalantly, as though I were already a student there. I want to see the melancholy brownstone houses of Fifty-sixth Street or thereabouts, and I want to meet a landlady, the sort who appreciates trunks and knows her rights. I want to have lunch at the Automat. I want to look down at the Hudson River from the roof of a tenement. I want to fide on top of the Fifth Avenue bus, without a hat. I want to go backstage at the Schubert. I want to see the pushcarts of Delancey Street, and Mrs. Cohen and Mrs. Kelly. I want to see the Statue of Liberty from a tugboat, in brilliant sunlight. I want to talk with somebody foreign and strange on Ellis Island, somebody just arrived from someplace far distant, and ask what America is like. I want to see a sob sister. I want to buy a guitar in a Tenth Avenue pawn shop. I want to buy old books in a dim, old book shop. I want to look at the faces of people in the street, the harassed, the preoccupied, the smiling, the mysterious, wonderful faces of common people. And when I have done these things I shall have no curiosity about Wanamaker’s, the Scandals, the tall buildings. But I shall have seen New York.
