“Spindrift” Is Third Offering of Players
Play Is Scheduled For Dec. 11; Opal E. Motter Will Direct
On December 11 and 12, the dramatics department will offer its third presentation of the season, “Spindrift,” a comedy by Martin Flavin. It will be directed by Mrs. Opal E. Motter.
The theme of the play is the constant and eternal human sorrow and frustration. Each character in the play represents some different form of pain and hindrance; there is Poppa Witbeck, by Paul Pencke; Mr. Payne, by Bill Robertson; Mrs. Payne, by Charlotte King; Mr. Watts by Maxwell Marvin; Mariana, by Teresa Hester; Boots by Sylvia Lip-ton; Bunny, by Virginia Hastings; Konrad Brandes by Sidney Cassel; Francis Doremy by William Probas-co; Peter Doremy by Bradbury Franklin; Young Peter by James Parrot; Mildred Doremy by Martha Meyers; and Ellen, Mr. Witbeck’s daughter by Kay Coleman; each with his own particular troubles.
The author has presented both his theme and his characters with clearness and precision, and with the capable cast, have given their portrayal an artistic touch.
CHRISTMAS RECESS TO BEGIN DECEMBER 14th
The University Christmas vacation will commence on December fourteenth, with the final examinations of the Autumn term running from December ninth to December fourteenth. This leave of absence will be terminated on January 2, 1936.
Registration for the Winter Term will be held from January second, eight a.m. to January fourth, twelve noon. All students must register during this period.
The Winter Term will open officially when the classes meet on January sixth, at eight-thirty a.m.

Miami Sends "Love and Kisses” to Boston
The University upon learning of the demise of the Boston University’s Terrier decided to present the Northerners with a new mascot, “Love and Kisses,” who you can see is an alligator. The two Miami co-eds caressing the pet are: Louise Arnott (left), and Dorothy Tison.
FOOTBALL SUBSIDIZING FAVORED BY STATE UNIVERSITY LEADERS
The Association of State Universities surprised the collegiate world on Friday, November 22, when they proposed the subsidizing of athletes in an open manner. The committee that drew up this stirring proposal was prompted by the desire to have a frank and open handling of the athletic scholarship and the “type” of jobs offered to athletes.
This group went on record as opposing to paying players because they are players. Pay for work done regardless of the individual who performs the task, but don’t favor the footballer. Pay all the students at the same rate. These ideas seemed to predominate in the committee’s report.
These proposals do not bind any school that is a member of the Association, but it is suggested as a supplement to the present codes in use. The committee’s chairman was Frank P. Graham, president of the University of North Carolina.
The committee frowned upon solicitation by coaches of high and prep school grid players. These coaches and players should be barred from competition. Athletes who receive preferential treatment in respect to jobs, tuition, books, room, etc., should also be ineligible for collegiate sports.
In closing the report, post season contests were ruled out. This rule would prohibit such after season games as the Orange Bowl, Sugar Bowl or Rose Bowl games to settle the mythical “championship” of the grid world.
Successful Y*W* Drive Gives Many Families Thanksgiving Food
Fraternities and Organizations Are Commended On Their Fine Cooperation
As a result of the successful drive sponsored by the Y.W.C.A., a number of Coral Gables families will celebrate a much happier Thanksgiving this year than they had anticipated. With a highly commendable spirit of cooperation among the sororities and fraternities, as well as the faculty, the delivery of numerous complete Thanksgiving Day baskets were distributed to many needy families.
Miss Edna Feiffer, chairman ôUthe Y. W. drive, wishes to thank all the participating organizations for their work in raising the contributions and aiding in so worthy a cause.
Many thanks are offered to Mrs. Koch and Dean Merritt for their most appreciated efforts in the putting-up and delivery of the many baskets.
Powerful Terrier Eleven Meets Hurricanes In Intersectional Game At Stadium Friday Night
Invaders End Difficult Schedule Under New Coach; Hurricanes Point For Third Consecutive Victory; Injured Tubbsmen Return to Lineup
Frosh Tag Day To Reimburse Owner of Raided Lumber Pile
Blunder Unknown to Freshmen Students Until Meeting Yesterday
Soloists to Perform In Concert Program
Anna and Ellouise King Will Present Recital Monday Night
The University Conservatory will present Ann D’Arcy King, violinist, and Ellouise King, pianist, in the following program Monday night, Dec. 1st in Recital Hall, at N. E. 2nd Ave. and 14th St.
Sonata for violin and piano, Handel; violin solo, Symphony Espag-nole, (Allegro, Lento, Vivace) Lalo; Nocturne, Respighi; Etude in F Minor, Chopin; Reflections on the Water, Debussy; Etude in Gb Minor (Piano) Chopin; Meditation, Thais, Massenet; Hora Staccato, Dinicu-Heif etz; Gypsy Dance (Violin), Nanchez.
The University of Miami will entertain the Boston University at a gridiron “tea party” for the first time, at the Miami Stadium on Friday evening at 8 p.m. This intersectional battle will be the Hurricanes second bid for national recognition.
This game is the wind-up of a long and arduous schedule for the Terriers, who have faced such strong elevens as Boston College, Brown, and Rutgers. Boston College is one of the strongest grid aggregations in the East, having whipped Michigan State 18-6. Boston University dipped its colors to Boston College 25-6, but held the victors even in yards gained from scrimmage.
The Hurricanes will be out for their third consecutive victory, and are riding the crest of a wave. Boston, with the best grid squad in its history is certain to be the best coached team that will face the Orange, Green and White during 1935.
Weakened by injuries and batterings received in the two victories, the Hurricanes will be fully rested for this important Homecoming tussle. Scrimmage and hard work has been held to a minimum by Coach Tubbs in an effort to have his team in shape.
The Bean-eaters, who will stage a work-out in Charleston, S. C. tonight, will present a center trio that is reputed to be the best in the New England district. Morosini plays the pivot position and is flanked by Nichols and Borofsky. Very little yardage has been gained through the center of the Terriers’ line.
Boston University’s backfield is fast and shifty, each back can kick, pass and run.
The probable Miami line-up is: Masterson and Capt. Leonard at the wings; Mastro and Shinn will team up at the tackles and Dicker and Glo-gowski will play next to Kalix at the pivot post. The backfield will be composed of Ott, Petrowski, Beusse and Cook or Baker.
Records of Teams
At a special meeting of the freshman class yesterday, it was unanimously decided by repentant students to hold a Tag Day for the purpose of raising funds to pay for damage done by over-zealous first year men.
Spurred on and threatened by several upperclassmen, the freshmen raided a lumber pile belonging to a prominent citizen of Coral Gables and added it to the enormous pile of materials making up the bon-fire before the Rollins game last Thursday night.
Their mistake was unknown to them until yesterday when it was disclosed at the meeting. By way of atonement a collection was taken up and the sum of fifteen dollars was realized. The freshmen are selling tags bearing the slogan “Beat Boston” and are asking the full-hearted support of the student body in buying them.
THANKSGIVING DANCE TO BE GIVEN BY PI CHI
The Pi Chi fraternity will give its fifth annual Homecoming Dance tomorrow night at its chapter house, 1032 Coral Way, from 9:30 until one. Music will be furnished by Gasper De Maio and his six piece orchestra. At twelve o’clock “The Church Creeper,” the annual humorous publication of the fraternity will be distributed. A cordial invitation to attend this dance is extended to the entire student body.

and Sudden Death ”
EDITOR’S NOTE: This article written especially for THE READER’S DIGEST, is reprinted by permission of the publishers. The following is the fourth and final installment of the essay.
By J. C. Furnas Overturning cars specialize in certain injuries. Cracked pelvis, for instance, guaranteeing agonizing months in bed, motionless, perhaps crippled for life—broken spine resulting from sheer side-wise twist—the minor details of smashed knees and splintered shoulder blades caused by crashing into the side of the car as she goes over with the swirl of an insane roller coaster — and the lethal consequences of broken ribs, which puncture hearts and lung with their raw ends. The consequent internal hemorrhage is no less dangerous because it is the pleural instead of the abdominal cavity that is filling with blood.
Flying glass—safety glass is by no means universal yet — contributes much more than its share to the spectacular side of accidents. It doesn’t merely cut—the fragments are driven in as if a cannon loaded with broken bottles had been fired in your face, and a sliver in the eye, traveling with such force, means certain blindness. A leg or arm stuck through the windshield will cut clean to the bone through vein, artery and muscle like a piece of beef under the butcher’s knife, and it takes little time to lose a fatal amount of blood under such circumstances. Even safety glass may not be wholly safe when the car crashes something at high speed. You hear picturesque tales of how a flying human body will make a neat hole in the stuff with its Head—the shoulders stick—the glass holds—and the raw, keen edge of the hole decapitates the body as neatly as a guillotine.
Or, to continue with the decapitation motif, going off the road into a post-and-rail fence can put you beyond worrying about other injuries immediately when a rail comes through the windshield and tears off your head with its splintery end— not as neat a job but thoroughly efficient. Bodies are often found with their shoes off and their feet all broken out of shape. The shoes are back on the floor of the car, empty and with their laces still neatly tied. That is the kind of impact produced by modern speeds.
But all that is routine in every American community. To be remembered individually by doctors and policemen, you have to do something as grotesque as the lady who burst the windshield with her head, splashing splinters all over the other occupants of the car, and then, as the car rolled over, rolled with it down the edge of the windshield frame and cut her throat from ear to ear. Or park on the pavement too near a curve at night and stand in front of the tail light as you take off the spare tire — which will immortalize you in somebody’s memory as the fellow who was mashed three feet broad and two inches thick by the impact of a heavy duty truck against the rear of his own car. Or be as original as the pair of youths who were thrown out of an open roadster this spring—thrown clear—but each broke a windshield post with his head in passing and the whole top of each skull, down to the eyebrows, was missing. Or snap off a nine-inch tree and get yourself impaled by a ragged branch.
None of all that is scare-fiction; it is just the horrible raw material of the year’s statistics as seen in the
ordinary course of duty by policemen and doctors, picked at random. The surprising thing is that there is so little dissimilarity in the stories they tell.
It’s hard to find a surviving accident victim who can bear to talk. After you come to, the gnawing, searing pain throughout your body is accounted for by learning that you have both collerbones smashed, both shoulder blades splintered, your right arm broken in three places and three ribs cracked, with every chance of bad internal ruptures. But the pain can’t distract you, as the shock begins to wear off, from realizing that you are probably on your way out. You can’t forget that, not even when they shift you from the ground to the stretcher and your broken ribs bite into your lungs and the sharp ends of your collarbones slide fiver to stab deep into each side of your screaming throat. When you’ve stopped screaming, it all comes back— you’re dying and you hate yourself for it. That isn’t fiction either. It’s what it actually feels like to be one of that 36,000.
And every time you pass on a blind curve, every time you hit it up on a slippery road, every time you step on it harder than your reflexes will safely take, every time you drive with your reactions slowed down by a drink or two, every time you follow the man ahead too closely, you’re gambling a few seconds against this kind of blood and agony and sudden death.
Take a look at yourself as the man in the white jacket shakes his head over you, tells the boys with the stretcher not to bother and turns away to somebody else who isn’t quite dead yet. And then take it easy.
