Dr. Church Addresses Members
At an informal meeting of the Sigma Phi Zeta earlier in the day, Dr. Church addressed the members of the local chapter.
After becoming acquainted with the personnel of the fraternity, Dr. Church delivered a talk on the history of the Sinfonia and the benefits derived from membership.
“America is the center of fine music at the present,” he stated. “The best voice instructors and the best voices are right in this country. Unfortunately,” continued Dr. Church, “there is an overabundance of jazz music in comparison to classical. If the good music had an even break, it would not be so bad, but the dance over-rules the concert. Despite that fact,” he declared, “American audiences are the most risky to play for in the whole world because of their knowledge of music.”
The discourse then veered over to the instructional side of music. Dr. Church condemned the disappointed artist type who goes in for teaching only as a last resort. “The true test,” he advised music students, “is to ask yourself, ‘Am I going to be happy teaching or in professional music?’ ”
He stated in conclusion that the social aspect of professional music is quite low and that it was up to the intelligent musician to raise it. He also asserted that there must be a feeling of accomplishment and a salary suitable for a favorable existence.
The woodwind quintet consisting of Charles Staltman, flauto; Harold Hall, hautboy; Laurence Tremblay, clarinetto; Robert Reinert, fagott, and William Lebedeff, corno, performed a Sarabande and One-Step from Theodore Blumer’s Tanz Suite.
Enjoy Spaghetti Dinner
In the evening, a spaghetti dinner Was given in Dr. Church’s honor. Another guest of honor at the dinner ^as Mr. Sidney B. Maynard, Spanish 'nstructor at the University and a ^ember of the Phi Mu Alpha Sin-onia Fraternity.

Hurricane Launches Drive To Help Needy Families at Christmas
Committee Is Appointed To Solicit Contributions From Students
The first annual dance to be sponsored by the students and alumni of the University Law School last Friday night in the Cafeteria, with Bob Reinert’s Miamilodians furnishing the music, was one of the biggest social successes of this term.
James Abras, chairman of the dance, held an under-graduate dance contest which was the high spot of the evening even though it did take the judges a long time to reach their decision.
The dance was also a financial success in that they made enough money to purchase at least several needed volumes out of the 4,000 necessary to put our law college in the Class A division of which only 88 out of 195 law schools in the country are members. Miami’s is one of the four in Class B and the remaining 103 are without any rating whatsoever.
Many of the down town lawyers have realized the need for more books in the law library and have consented to donate books from their own personal libraries.
There already have been many requests for another dance. The next affair to be given by the law school will be an banquet and dance for which definite plans as yet have not been formulated.
A drive to obtain contributions for food and clothing to be distributed to ten needy families in the vicinity of Coral Gables at Christmas was launched Monday by the Hurricane.
A committee will investigate to decide which ten families are the most wanting. Miss Cora Bane, Director of Social Welfare Work of Miami and a social investigator for Coral Gables, will provide the information upon which the committee will base its survey.
Each week a report will be published of two selected families. The account will include reasons causing the committee to reach their decision. This information will explain to contributors how their gifts will be used.
Helene Couch is general chairman of the committee which includes Fay Taylor, Roberta Scott, Mary Creel, Phyllis Heinrich, and Mrs. Lewis *	• Librarian, who

By Eliot Thomson, Jr.
Thoroughly recuperated and feeling their full strength for the first time in several weeks, the storming Miami Hurricanes roll into action again tomorrow night out in the old Miami
stadium against the Mercer Bears of Macon, Georgia.
Miami, with four wins and two tie games already in the record books, will be stepping against one of the best of the smaller college ball clubs in the South tomorrow night in an endeavor to maintain the unmarred slate.
The Mercer record of the current season is somewhat roughened in spots by frequent setbacks, but all games played by the Bears were tough ones with the opponents usually on the heavier end of the odds. Mercer held a strong Georgia team to a 15-16 victory and Furman was only able to beat the Macon boys 20-9. Birmingham Southern and Chattanooga U. eeked out 6-0 decisions.
Mercer has beaten Oglethorpe 20-6, Presbyterian 20-6, South Georgia Teachers 40-0, and tied Howard 0-0.
Bloodworth Triple Threat Back
In Alan Bloodworth, the Georgia eleven has perhaps the best back in the SIAA conference. Bloodworth is a triple threat gentleman who performs in elegant style against poor and top-notch opposition alike. The Bloodworth boy is by far the biggest gun in the Mercer attack. He has figured largely in the scoring department all season and has turned in plenty of long touchdown runs. In the Howard game Mr. Bloodworth got loose for 60 yards and a six-pointer but it was called back. He ran 97 yards against Furman for one of the most amazing touchdown sallies seen this year.
A1 Owens, Wright Bazemore, Billy Smith and Jack Morris are other ballcarriers to watch when the Georgia boys take the field. Owens and Bazemore were the main cogs in the defeat of Presbyterian last week-end, both bouncing away for touchdown dashes of over 60 yards.
Tubbs To Use Full Strength
In a supreme effort to stem the powerful punch of this quartet tomorrow night, Coach Irl Tubbs will probably send the full strength of his Hurricane horde out to meet the opening whistle.
The big line that has stopped Boston’s Terriers, Bucknell’s Bisons and Tampa’s Spartans will be intact for this fray. Bolash, Hamilton, Ricci and Ruggles will work the flanks. Kichefski may play one of the ends for awhile if his ailing hand is not too sore.
The tackle positions are all lined
In the vice-presidential run-off election Monday, Helene Couch was declared the winner over Julie Dav-itt. Couch polled 173 votes to Dav-itt’s 135, a total of only 308 votes being cast.
Couch said when asked for a statement: “All there is to say is that this was the most pleasant surprise of my life, and I sincerely appreciate and wish to thank everyone who was kind enough to give me their vote.
“My gratitude will be best expressed in an earnest desire to give you the best assemblies possible.”
Davitt, president of Lambda Phi sorority and the defeated candidate said, “I wish to express my sincere appreciation for the support given me in the past elections. I am absolutely certain that Helene will very capably and reliably fulfill the office which she has won. She is to be congratulated.”
The winning candidate is past vice-president of the sophomore class, past president of the Sport Club, and president of the Women’s Athletic Council. She was also last year student assistant to Mr. Boland in the athletic department and has served on the Y.W.C.A. Council, the Sophomore Cotillon committee, and the F.I.P.A. committee.

To the winner went the distinction of having his name engraved upon a loving cup donated by Delta Epsilon Phi fraternity. The loving cup is to be a permanent possession of the University and is to be placed in a trophy room.
To Present Awards At Assembly
To the winner and runner-up, went the honor of receiving, for permanent personal possession, medals designating them for their outstanding ability. The medals were donated by the Debating Council. The awards shall be presented the winner and runner-up at the next assembly.
Mr. Otho Overholser, debating coach, acted as chairman and introduced the contestants. Miss Rochelle Williams, instructor of public speaking at Miami Senior High school, and Mr. Oliver Hoover, Dean of Boys at the same school, were the judges.
Tommy Lee, president of the Debating Council, was in charge of all arrangements.
Others competing in the contest were: Charles Hardie-Preist, Edmund Nash, James Daar, and William Pro-basco. The contestants were judged by their appearance, material on the subject and voice in presentaion.
Announce Another Contest
Mr. Otho Overholser wishes to announce that “The Debating Council” will sponsor another debating contest on December 1, 2, and 3. Every organization on the campus, as well as independent individuals, are invited to enter a team. A loving cup and medals will be awarded the winners.

This information was received in response to the mayor’s telegram advising of the new election date and
Cafeteria Will Feature
Thanksgiving Dinners
Thanksgiving Day the University Cafeteria will feature three moderately priced turkey dinners.

Reporter Interviews
By Dick Arend
George Glendenning, the fellow who hands you your mail in the morning, wishes to be known as a G-Man. He acts as chief representative of the Federal government in the University. All mail goes through him.
It was an auspicious day when Mr. Glendenning came to the University three years ago. His first two years found him serving as superintendent of rubbish disposal under Mr. Havens. Hard work and clean living earned him a promotion to his present position as postmaster general. Carrying pay checks to University professors and instructors has developed his muscles till now he stands forth a public servant of no mean proportions.
Mr. Glendenning is above all a home-loving man, especially after a day in the University post-office. His face breaks out in a joyous smile when he brings home his pay check of two dollars a week, plus graft on sale of books.
In his classes George is a student of English, finding in Dr. Lowe his
favorite professor. He is very enthusiastic about all his professors and enjoys their constructive criticism about how the post-office is managed.
Athletically, he excels. He is captain of that great outfit, the White Wings. This team needs a man of action. A week ago it became defunct.
On duty George never drinks. He smokes a bit, which probably explains where some of the prizes won by University students in the Lucky Strike Sweepstakes go. He has never made a mistake in handling post-office money. At least he never reported any. He is thinking of buying a new car.
He is a romanticist. At present George is considering a trip to Hawaii, inspired by his classes in English Literature. He is repeating English 201 for the second time, so great is the boy’s enthusiasm for that subject.
Some say he is psychic, others pronounce his as the “genius of the junior class,” however, the University will remember him as the one who made our post-office what it is today.
