Intramural Council Discusses
Plans For Increased Activities:
Fraternities Represented
Coach Pat Boland Appoints Mulloy Chairman of Body;
Handball and Ping Pong Tourneys to Get Underway;
Revision of Touchball Rules is Postponed
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,
RE

it was decided to wait until all the
teams had played before taking any
drastic action.
It  was   unanimously   decided  that
'there will be no points awarded to
n     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
ntramural matters will be handled at
hat time, or, if necessary, a special
eeting will be called at the discre-
on 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.

||"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.
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 American and foreign speakers will address
the meetings throughout the year.
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 a"
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
j 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
hisv 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.
The Hatters got into Miami yesterday and worked out at Miami Stadium. Stetson's 50-piece band will arrive in town today.
Last night the Miami cheerleaders
held a pep meeting which was concluded by a bonfire.
All Freshmen are expected at tonight's game. They must sit in the
section reserved for them.
1 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.

"March on Miami" Composer
Leaves   for   Detroit   Sunday
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.

Dr. Youmans in Charge
of Physical Examinations
Arrangements have been madr
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.
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 Journalism 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 week'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 method proved to be a
phial of ammonium chloride, previously treated with sodium hydroxide
to obtain the gas. A few whiffs of
this and the patient is wide awake.
It never fails, and besides, "it clears
the head immediately," according to
Jesurun.
He also gave an inkling of the novel
means he uses to promote business.
"Fernando del Rio set his alarm
clock for 6:30 a.m. I sneaked in
when he was asleep and put it ahead
to 8:30. When he failed to awaken
on time the next morning, I pointed
out to him the unreliability of alarm
clocks, and told him how foolish it
was to depend on such orratic devices.
He finally saw the light, and del Rio
is now one of the numerous Jesurun
