josef Hofmann, pianist, will be presented by the University of Miami Symphony Orchestra under the direction of Dr. Arnold Volpe in its season concert, tomorrow night 8:30 in the Olympia Theatre.
a pupil of Ruben-
pre
at
jlr. Hofmann stein, has had more than forty-five years of concert experience. He is a particularly gifted pianist and has peculiarly constructed hands which enable him to master the most difficult numbers with ease. His wrists are extremely muscular and supple with fingers of feathery lightness and pliancy. Of short stature, he has a head and neck of giant strength. When playing he uses a specially constructed chair that resembles a milking stool with a back.
In his music the delightful contrast and variety of his playing is outstanding. The change of tempo and the new notes that sing out from time to time add to the subtle freshness.
This will be Mr. Hofmann’s first of eight concerts with university symphony orchestras this fall. The University of Miami will be proud to present this world famous artist to its students and the music lovers of the Greater Miami area.
Tickets may be procured at the University in prices of $1.10, $1.65 and $2.30. Activity books cannot be used for this concert, according to an announcement by Mrs. Volpe.
Band Drilling Daily Tolmprove Marching
Under Vernon Hoff’sLeadership Band Adopts European Style of Playing
Under the leadership of Vernon Hoff, the University Band has started daily drills to improve their marching and render some rare entertainment at future football games.
Using a new military step which is used by most of the college marching units the band will form the letters T. and M. at the game Friday night.
The difference between the Miami band and many other marching units is that the reed instruments are at the front instead of the trombones. This is the European style of play 'ng- It enables the band to keep its symphonic calibre while playing marching music.
The band will make the trip to Rollins this year.
QUIET REQUESTED FOR LATE CLASSES
We are requested to announce that due to the late afternoon and evening classes which are being held in this building from 4:30 to 9:30 daily, it is highly desirable that our regular student body cooperate in making teaching conditions as easy as possible during the afternoons and evenings.

Nedra Brown Is Given Lead In 4th Federal Play
Lightnin” Is First Granville Fisher Production; Play Sponsored By W.P.A.
^ “Lightnin” by Winchell Smith and Frank Bacon was the fourth play of the summer season to be given by the Miami Federal Players of the works progress administration. This was the first production under the direction of Granville Fisher, who has replaced Thomas Ashwell as director.
Miss Nedra Brown, a newcomer to the federal players company, takes the ingenue part. Miss Brown is a senior in the University of Miami and is assistant to the drama professor here. She is a member of the national drama fraternity, Theta Alpha Phi, and appeared in their first play last winter under student direction, “Three-Cornered Moon.” She has also appeared in leading roles in “Tillie,” “Death Takes a Holiday” “He Who Gets Slapped” and “Barbara Frietchie” with the University of Miami Players.
Others in the cast are Harvey Wood, Grady Phelps, Francise Bar-row, Albert Ritchey, Jack Bast, Irene Galvin, Robert Barron, Olga Worth, Molka Reich, Richard Olsen, Raymond Tuckerman, Carolyn Whitney, Charles Shaw, and Scott Griffin.
Due to the uniqueness of the courtroom scene, Mr. Fisher has asked all presiding judges in this area to be his guests during the week’s run.
Fred Leslie is in the leading role of Lightnin Fred Jones in the second portrayal of this character on the Miami stage. Critics named him the hit of the show when he appeared with the Park Players in 1926. Jean Parker has the part of his wife.
Zoology Class Students Make First Trip With Dr. Strohecker
Inteersting Variety of Animal Life Found In Fertile Hammock Nearby
Dr. H. E. Briggs
STUDENTS ENTHUSED
The zoology 202 class took its first field trip of the year Saturday morning under the supervision of Dr. H. F. Strohecker, new member of the University’s faculty. Driving west on Bird Road for two hours and a half, the enthusiastic students found an interesting variety of animal life in the fertile hammock in which they worked.
The zoology students, numbering more than last year’s class, seem to be interested in their scientific course. The group of young men and women are willing to work.
“Being near the Everglades and Key West, Miami University offers unlimited opportunities in field work; and the climate encourages research throughout the entire year,” Dr. Strohecker stated. The majority of colleges are handicapped by the cold weather of the winter months.
“Although tropical animals are numerous in southern Florida, they are hardly ever found more than a hundred miles north of Miami,” he continued.
An alumnus of Mercer University, Dr. Strohecker, new assistant professor of zoology, did graduate work and taught at the University of Chicago before coming to this school.

TWO FROSH HELD FOR RECKLESS DRIVING
The Coral Gables Police Department reports the arrest of two University freshmen on charges of reckless driving this week. They were given a choice by the judge of paying $15 and costs or having their licenses suspended for thirty days. Both accepted the license suspension.
Reckless driving on the part of the younger University students is attributed by police department heads to the immaturity of boys -and girls ( who have not graduated from the ! smart-aleck high school stage.

if you are one of those many people who suffer from self-consciousness it is best to leave that job for some one who is awfully hungry. It is true that for a job of that character you receive but a full meal
It’s queer, though, that the most eager of all applicants are band boys. They are the ones who must attend classes in the morning and practice all afternoon. It’s a pity, isn’t it? Then, too, there’s the case of the young freshman football player who haunts the Dorm in his spare moments. His full quota is supposedly 21 hours of work a week but between classes and football practice he has a pretty tough time finding enough spare minutes to build into hours. Mrs. Koch states that she works just as hard trying to find work for the poor soul. But Saturday morning is the morning when he really shines. He sings, he whistles, he hums, and he makes the girls pretty nervous.

Delta Tau sorority announces that it is being sponsored by the local alumnae group of Sigma Kappa, national social sorority.
Sigma Kappa sorority was founded at Colby College, Waterville, Maine in 1874. It has a membership of forty-four college chapters, with 8,459 members, four inactive chapters, and fifty-two Alumnae chapters.
Creditable scholarship is the fundamental aim of the sorority, and a cup is awarded each year to the chapter that attains the highest scholastic standing. In ^22 a scholarship loan fund was esurolished for the purpose of aiding deserving members to complete their college work. Of late years an increasing number of girls have benefitted from this fund.
National and International Philanthropic work is carried on by individual members.
Active members of Delta Tau are: Roberta Scott, Nedra Brown, Betty Goff, Patricia Cluney, Shirley Martin, Myrtle Wills, Joan Goeser, Mary Jane Richardson.
Alumnae members of Delta Tau recently organized a chapter in Miami.

First Play To Star M. Garvin
O. E. Motter Directs Production; Will Complete Casting of “Mrs. Moonlight” Today
“Mrs. Moonlight,” by Benn Levy, the first dramatic production of the season, will be presented October 20th in the University auditorium. Mrs. Opal E. Motter, director, has not yet completed the casting but expects to do so today.
Marie Garvin, whq has not played a large part since her. splendid characterization in “Outward Bound” has been chosen for the leading role, “Mrs. Moonlight.” Miss Garvin has been active in dramatics for several years and her talents are known to her audience.
A newcomer, Ann Zolesky, has the part of “Edith Jones,” and Paula Sachs will appear with a Scotch dialect. Miss Sachs used an Irish dialect in “Ladies of the Jury.” Dorothy Mae Buddington will play the part of “Jane Moonlight.”
No further parts have been definitely assigned, but the play will include Leonard Tobin who has appeared in stock for two summers and who offers his talents for the first time in Miami.
Maxwell Marvin will also take part in “Mrs. Moonlight.”
Approval or rejection of a newly outlined plan for a Board of Publications at the University of Miami will be one of the most important issues confronting the next session of the Student Senate.
In line with the new proposal, the Student Senate would give over the power of election of the editors and business managers of student publications to a Board of Publications, subject to the approval of the Senate.
The new Board of Publications would be composed of eight members. Three faculty advisors would include: the Chairman of the Organizations Committee, Dr. Briggs; the Faculty Advisor to Student Publications, Mr. Leary; and the Financial Advisor to Student Publications, Mr. Tucker. Five student members would form an automatic board, including: the President of the Student Senate; the Editor and Business Manager of the Hurricane, and the Editor and Business Manager of the Ibis.
This plan further outlines the duties of the Board of Publications, which would be to approve and supervise all new publications. Editors and advisors of any new publications would be entitled to a vote as members of the board. Election would be determined by a three-quarters vote of the Board of Publications.
In connection with the Hurricane, the new board has organized a very definite plan for the editorial set-up of the student paper. Upperclassmen would have the guiding positions, lower classmen would serve as assistant editors, copyreaders, reporters, solicitors and distributors.
MUSIC LOVERS WILL RECEIVE LECTURES

The University of Miami Conservatory, Bertha Foster, Director, announces a course of “Ten Talks on Music,” for those who like it and others, to be given by Edward Clarke, at the Miami Conservatory, 1401 N. E. 2nd Avenue, Thursday mornings at 10 o’clock, beginning Nov. 5th. These talks will be illustrated by members of faculty and advanced students. Course * m ~ Talks for $5.00.

GEORGETOWN UNIVERSITY U. OF SOUTH CAROLINA
Speaking before the annual convention of the Internation Association for Identification at Dallas, Texas, last Tuesday, J. Edgar Hoover, Director of the F.B.I. announced that the six million, three hundred thousandth finger print had been received for classification during the latter part of September.
They have been contributed by 10,000 agencies in America and 76 agencies abroad.
“Approximately 50 scientists are steadily employed by the Federal Bureau of Investigation to examine finger prints and prepare court testimony from them,” he revealed.
In a short time he believes the so-called” expert, willing to testify for whichever side offers the most money, the prosecution or the defense, will become a thing of the past.
Mr. Hoover further stated that the F.B.I. Crime Laboratory has no bias and no opinion other than that brought out by the cold findings of the microscope, fingerprint develop ment equipment, chemical analysis, and related equipment. “There is, heconcluded, “no desire to convict when the evidence shows innocence and the findings of the scientific laboratory are so reported.”
The scheduling of a Winter Institute of Literature this year is still in the balance according to Dr. Lowe, Director of the Institute, who hopes to make a final statement soon. Prospective lecturers include Ludwig Lewisohn, the American critic, and Abbé Dimnet, the French author.
This popular institution of the University was most successful last year in every way except financially. Robert Frost, Dhan Gopal Mukerji, Mary Colum, Padraic Colum, Bernard De Voto, and Hervey Allen lectured.
Unfortunately, Mr. Mukerji died in July. Everyone who heard him will remember his fascinating description of Indian life and philosophy. Among his works are “Gay Neck,” the Newberry prize book of 1927, “A Son of Mother India Answers,” and “Secret Listeners of The East.”
The requirement of three credits in the Winter Institute of Literature for majors in English will be dropped in case that course is omitted from the schedule.
To make the Institute self-supporting without placing a financial burden on the students it is necessary to entice a greater number of literary-minded Miamians. Certainly, these programs warrant the attention of this city. Perhaps the people should be made more aware of our hitherto almost private attraction.
HURRICANE RECEIVES BID
The Miami Hurricane has received forms for application for membership in the Intercollegiate Press Association. Membership in the association includes the privilege of using the intercollegiate press releases which are issued each week.
The Junior Orchestra, designed to prepare students to play in the large and nationally known University Symphony Orchestra directed by Dr. Arnold Volpe, will be revived this season. Besides this organization, there is also to be a second Band, under the direction of Gladney Head.
Mr. Head, solo cornetist in the Symphony and also in the University Symphonic Band, has displayed his superior artistry on his instrument many times, but his special talent for conducting has not before been revealed. Mr. Walter Shaeffer, Band leader, having recognized Mr. Head’s ability in this line, will personally supervise the development of this second band.
The music department gladly calls the attention of all boys and girls who pldy band instruments to this opportunity of preparing themselves for the regular symphonic band. Those interested should report to Gladney Head in the Band Room at 4:30 p.m. next Thursday.
This is the first time that the girls of the University have been encouraged to do any band work, but so many of the fair sex are now playing wind and brass instruments that they will undoubtedly enjoy this opening. Therefore, all boys and girls who like to play should come to this meeting, even if they have had no experience, because, in case of an overflow, the music department is prepared to form even a third Band, just to enable our University students to have the privilege of this splendid training. The opportunity is here, and, with such a wonderful Symphonic Band to look forward to, we hope a large number will take ad vantage of such a valuable experience. There will be no cost, but no school credit will be given.
Among the nearly eight-hundred students of this school there are many who do not have occasion or opportunity to enter the regular music courses, but who would appreciate having a lift in this subject. In view of this, Miss Bertha Foster, Dean of Music, is giving these pupils a chance to learn the rudiments of music in a class to be held at 10:30 Wednesday morning in room 250. This class will offer no credit, but will also be free of charge. Anyone interested is invited to report to Miss Foster so that, if necessary, the class may be divided into sections. Even if you are busy at this time you are urged to send in your name so that a convenient hour can be arranged.
The School of Music is a part of the University activity, and not a separate branch, and since music is recognized as the only universal language, it is highly desirable that during your university experience you who are not practitioners of the art will at least learn to be intelligent listeners. To aid you in this attainment is the purpose of this generous offer from the Dean of Music.
Hurricanes Seek First Victory Over Strong Higgins Coached Eleven
With one down, nine to go, and revenge their incentive for victory, the Hurricane football men will trek to Miami Stadium tomorrow night at eight o’clock to do battle with the strong University of Tampa eleven. This game promises to be bitterly contested from start to finish.
Coach Tubbs is again relying on his surprisingly capable sophomore roster to handle the lion’s share of the Miami attack.
Tampa’s Spartans enjoyed a 57-0 triumph at the expense of Newberry College last Saturday. They are a heavy, experienced bunch of gridders and should give Miami her first real test of the 1936 campaign. Rudy Rodriguez, the slippery, swivel-hipped ball carrier who brought defeat to the Hurricanes last fall, has been labeled the best back in the State and will be the kingpin in Tampa’s offensive play. He is amply assisted by Cox, Beynon, O’Reilly and D. Spoto, Spartan huskies.
The Hurricane horde came out of its initial game safe and sound, and should be in ship-shape for the West-coast footballers. Eddie Dunn will be Miami’s biggest threat in penetrating the Spartan defense, he is a natural broken-field performer. Dunn handled the wet ball in the Teacher fray last week and will probably elect to do more passing against the heavy Tampa outfit. Zomps Zelesnick, Jake Rose and Tony Vacarrelli are in line (Continued on Page 4)
Cafeteria Receives Much Deserved Praise
Dining Room Gains Increased Interest of Student Body Under Hiss and Thomas
By Fay Taylor
According to the general student opinion, the University of Miami Cafeteria, under the direction of Mr. U. J. Hiss, this year, is worthy of mcch praise—in fact, not a single complaint has been voiced. From freshmen, transfer, and old members of the student body, have been heard exclamations such as: “grand,” “O. K.,” “wonderful”; and many more happy and well-fed students have been seen leaving the cafeteria.
Much of the credit for the splendid interest in this year’s cafeteria goes to Mr. Hiss, and his assistant, Joe Thomas, along with their helpers.
Here are a few of the opinions of the students:
Algerine Price, freshman: “Grand —all they need is a Guy Lombardo orchestra to make it perfect.”
Martha Dorn, freshman: “Wonderful—one of the best features of the University.”
Dave James, sophomore: “The cafeteria is infinitely better.”
Ernest Graham, transfer: “There is more fow your money and better variety than in most college cafeterias.”
Judy Ashby, sophomore: “If you wanted to compare it with last year, you couldn’t — there is no comparison!”
Charlotte Meggs, freshman: “Who is the new manager? I think the cafeteria is wonderful.”
Johnny Esterline, junior: “Undoubtedly there are more students eating in the cafeteria than there were formerly. I ought to know because I work there.”
English Instructor is Astonished
At Incompetence of Interviewer
By Dick Arend
Mr. Leary, the popular Instructor of English, was so astonished at the incompetence of this interviewing reporter on his first attempt that a valuable dissertation on “How To Interview” was obtained.
Never ask your victim if he has a story. He will welcome that question with a sympathetic “no,” for he doesn’t like interviews either. Rather, bombard him with questions about his work and his interests. Keep him on the defensive. For the sake of politeness he will have to answer.
Finally, he will stop looking at his watch and become interested in some subject you have introduced.
Above all, don’t allow him to be bored. An icy interval of silence will do more to cool his enthusiasm for interviewing than the ringing of the 12:30 bell. One of you must maintain the conversation. Remember it’s hard work and much easier for a woman.
But don’t worry. When your interview is carefully typewritten, your troubles are over, because nine times out of ten it will end up in the bottom of the waste-paper basket.
KOSTELANETZ BAND OPENS FALL SEASON
The popular Andre Kostelanetz dance programs sponsored by Chesterfield Cigarettes over the Columbia network opened their Fall season on September 30th with the return of Nino Martini as star of the Wednesday evening broadcasts.
The Martini programs on Wednesday evenings will aso feature a new Chesterfield chorus of 18 mixed voices which Kostelanetz has spent many weeks selecting and rehearsing. They plan to vary the brilliant dance arrangements of Kostelanetz with the pick of light music from musical comedies, operettas and popular movies.
With the same background of Kostelanetz dance music on Friday evenings, the Kay Thompson-Ray Heath-erton combination accompanied by the Rhythm Singers will continue to present their interpretation of popular songs and vocal novelties.
