RATED 40th St., I
The first meeting of the newly formed intramural council was held on Wednesday, October 30th, at 12:30 p.m., in room 202. Coach Boland presided over the meeting, and in order to make the council a permanent body, Gardner Mulloy was appointed temporary chairman.
There was much discussion as to the various rules used in touchball and though some favored changing the regulations, it was decided to wait until all the
lb
6 6
teams had played before taking any drastic action.
It was unanimously decided that there will be no points awarded to , the various fraternities for the par-^ ticipation of any of its members on a varsity team or squad.
In the very near future, Handball and Ping Pong tourneys will get under way. Coach Boland requests that all entrants sign up as soon as possible. These tournaments will determine the University champions and also the fraternity champions.
Whether or not there will be a bowling league depends upon the reaction of the various student organizations. The delegates were advised to poll their groups, and to report back to the council.
The intramural council will meet on the second and fourth Wednesday of every month. Protests and all other intramural matters will be handled at that time, or, if necessary, a special meeting will be called at the discretion of the chairman.
Marvin Black is the executive secretary of the council and is Coach Boland’s aide in organizing the intramural program. Others present at the meeting were: Potamkin, Phi Epsilon Pi; Mulloy, Delta Sigma Kappa; Hodson, Pi Chi; Treff, Phi Alpha; and Bennett, Sigma Phi Zeta.
I.R.C. Club Will Hold First Open Forum For Students Next Week
Organization is Encouraged By Carnegie and Guggenheim Foundations
“Down at Emory Univ., in Georgia, a student got hypnotized in class by a prof . . . He didn’t snap out of it for three days, it appears ... As he spent most of his time among the rest of the students, nobody noticed he was hypnotized!” — Walter Win-chell.
Dr. G. Prentice Carson, dean emeritus of Stetson university, is beginning his fiftieth scholastic year of work at that institution. Congratulations to Stetson university, and orchids to Dr. Carson.
The International Relations Club, organized for the purpose of studying and discussing international topics, will announce its first meeting of the present school year early next week. Notice of the exact date will be posted on the bulletin boards.
This club was founded at the University several years ago by Prof. Victor Belaunde. It is affiliated with the national organization of International Clubs, which makes possible an exchange of opinion with other colleges throughout the country.
Both the Carnegie Foundation and the Guggenheim Foundation encourage these clubs by sending them free literature on international topics. George Harvey, secretary, reports that the fall installment of books from the Carnegie Endowment for International Peace have been placed on the IRC shelf in the general library. These are available to any student interested in international affairs.
The University of Miami club is the sponsor of the Pan-American Forum to be presented during the winter term. It will also be in close cooperation with the various Pan-American associations in the city. Noted Amer ican and foreign speakers will address the meetings throughout the year.
In order that the Frosh men students at Indiana University might become better acquainted with other men students, a fraternal system of exchanging guests was started. Each Wednesday evening during the remainder of the semester, two freshmen from each fraternity will be dinner guests of another fraternity.
Florida is the only state in the Union that has no medical school. Legislature where'Ts thy sting?
What are the most desirable qualities that a girl should possess? Ohio State University upperclass women voted good family as tops, and next, good morals. But the freshman girls — tsk-tsk — voted good morals into fourteenth place! The freshies thought good social traits the most desirable qualities and offensive personal habits the worst.
Journalism Students Hear Ellis Holums
HP onight brings us to one of the most significant games of this
year’s Hurricane schedule. We meet the Hatters tonight on the field of conflict. We bring to this game a deep and firm determination that that jinx must be broken that has kept us from defeating the Stetson Hatters since we began competition with them back in 1926. Our players will go upon the field conscious of this mission. We, the rooters, will take our places in the stands, confident of seeing our men come through and prepared to do all we can to encourage them on to victory.
Last year’s contest with the Hatters has given us a valuable lesson —a lesson that should assure victory for us tonight. Victory was in our grasp last year. But in the last and fatal moment the knife edge keeness of our team that had been able to hold the Hatters scoreless was dulled and Stetson pushed the ball over, tieing the score 6-6. We want no such snatching of the laurels from our heads this year.
Give your best, is all we can ask of our team. Confident we are that that best will be sufficient to smash the Stetson jinx asunder and bury its fragments under a decisive victory.

“The,, function of a newspaper in a community is to reflect the opinions of its readers, rather than to lead them into new channels of thought,” Ellis Holums, Managing Editor of the Miami Herald, told a large group of students at the second meeting of the Institute of Journalism on Wednesday.
The forty minute forum was devoted largely to the topic of “Ethical Journalism and Editorial Writing. An interesting cross floor discussion covered the remainder of the Institute’s meeting. Dean Holdsworth and Dr. Orton Lowe actively contributed to the interest of the journalistic subject.
Students Hold Large Bonfire Last Night As Stetson Pep Rally
In the light of the largest bonfire of the school year, the University held a pep meeting for the Stetson game. Charles Heckman presided ac master of ceremonies and introduced all speakers, and members of the football team.
After the series of pep talks, Bob Reinert spoke on school spirit, and introduced the new school song, “March On Miami.” This was played by the University band and the entire student body joined in on the chorus.
To climax the evening the students organized a parade through the streets of Coral Gables.
With a lull in the football schedule next week, the fraternities and sororities on the University campus have plans in full sway for the largest social week-end of the Fall term.
In addition to the affairs to be held at the chapter houses, arrangements have been made with the Miami and Miami Beach night clubs to keep the celebrations at a very high level. The Miami clubs are now re-opening for the coming season and are all giving student nights. The first of these nights will be held next Saturday evening in conjunction with the many affairs on the campus.
All the fraternities will sponsor various of these affairs at the many clubs. Pi Chi fraternity will hold a gala dance at the chapter house and is making arrangements to sponsor a party at one of the night clubs, on Saturday night.
The Phi Epsilon Pi fraternity will hold a dinner dance at the Royal Palm Club on Saturday night. This will be the first formal dance of the school year.
The Pi Delta Sigma fraternity and the Phi Alpha fraternity are planning to hold informal dances at the chapter houses.
Fired with a determination to score their first victory over the Stetson University eleven, and also to end the string of two successive ties, the Orange, Green and White gridders are looking forward to their meeting with the Hatters at the Miami Stadium at 8 p.m. tonight.
Cecil Cook who has been suffering from a bad knee since the Georgetown game, reported in uniform yesterday and ran
through the signal drill. It is expected he will play tonight.
Coach Irl Tubbs has been shifting his. lineups and tossing reserves into the scrimmages all week, and from the way the subs have responded a few have good chances of breaking into the starting lineup tonight.
The Hurricanes have been stopping the Stetson plays in scrimmages against the Freshmen all this week. From what has been seen of the Stetson plays, fans are going to get their full of lateral plays tonight. Stetson uses laterals as the main equipment in its ground game. This year’s Stetson team is nearly the same outfit that played the Hurricanes to a 6-6 tie last season.

. President Glenn Frank of the University of Wisconsin writes, “When university authorities maintain a censorship of a student newspaper, it ceases to be a student newspaper and becomes an administration newspaper. In which case, why not publish an official paper and be done with it?” Student government and student life must have a purpose. Every student should do independent thinking.
Extra! Extra! It is up to you and you!
The University of Vermont has distributed a booklet on etiquette to the male contingent on the campus. What do you think?
Eddie Baumgarten, talented musician of the freshman class, has been called home to Detroit. During his six weeks here Eddie has played the piano in the university orchestra, and his creative ability has also been proved. He wrote both the words and music to the latest University song which was introduced at the M Club dance last Friday night, “March On Miami.” This swingy, spirited number is expected to be used for the first time on the gridiron tonight.
It is with sincere regret that the University will see Eddie leave Sunday night. His “March On Miami” will take its place along side the established “Spirit of Miami U.” and each singing will be a tribute to Eddie Baumgarten.
W. S. LETCHER BEGINS INSURANCE TALKS
Mr. W. S. Letcher, Florida General Agent of the Pacific Mutual Insurance Co., and Mr. Lance Harding, Miami Agency Supervisor visited the insurance class of the University, Thursday, October 24.

Arrangements have been mad* with Doctor Iva C. Youmans to give every University girl a physical examination. All girls who would like to take advantage of this opportunity are asked to report to room 233 and make an appointment.
Doctor Youmans, a graduate of Johns Hopkins; has been a practicing physician in Miami since 1914 and is well known for her excellent work. During the World War, she was stationed at Jacksonville, where she assisted the War Department Medical staff in every possible capacity.
Doctor Youmans was in charge of the examination of University women last year. This year she will be assisted by Drs. Laura Mary Hobbs and Lucille Marsh.
“News-gathering,” Will Topic of Daily News Editor
Be
Responding to the enthusiasm expressed by over forty students for speakers of practical newspaper experience, the Student Institute of Journalism will present at its third meeting, Wednesday, November 6th, Frank Malone, of the Miami Daily News.
Frank Malone brings to the journalism students of the University practical experience reaped over a checkered and exciting career in newspaper work. Trained under the hustling journalism of Joseph Pulitzer when the New Work World was making newspaper history, he took time out to join the American forces in France and returned with a Distinguished Service Cross. Upon his return, he became a member of the New York Journal’s staff, a blatant Hearst sheet. However, he severed this connection, and transferred to the New York Daily Mirror. He has finally settled in Miami devoting his talents as editor and assignment reporter for the Miami Daily News. One of his assignments is covering all of the City Hall news.
The Student Institute of Journal ism is proud to have been able to secure him. It is distinctly in line with its policy of introducing to its embryo journalists the practical facts of news writing.
Next week’s meeting will be held as usual on Wednesday in room 202 at 12:50 sharp. All students are invited and requested to.arrive promptly.

CORRECTION
In last weed’s Hurricane, there was an error in the last paragraph of the article on Professor Lowe’s address before the Student Institute of Journalism.
As it appeared in the October 25th issue, the last sentence read “Individual or group welfare should take precedence over college welfare.” It should have read “Individual or group welfare should NOT take precedence over college welfare.”
Hurricane staff meeting will be held on Monday at 1 p.m. in the auditorium. All staff members and reporters must attend. Assignments will be distributed at that time.

Harold Jesurun ’37, Columbia University student who attracted wide attention last year when he instituted a “waking-up” service for his fellow students, is back this year full of determination to expand his novel business.
“I’m all set for a big season,” he confided to our reporter. “I’ve already got a lot of customers, and my new method of getting them up never fails.”
The new methoff proved to be a phial of ammonium chloride, previously treated with sodium hydroxide to obtain the gas. A few whiffs of
