Newman Club Hosts To Duquesne Team
Band Dance Fails
Only Financially
Lack of student cooperation was ! the cause of the failure of the band dance held last Friday night. The dance, which was run for the purpose of getting funds for band uniforms, had but a few couples in attendance.
Undiscouraged by this poor showing, the band has decided to hold similar affairs after the first of the year. The few couples who did attend danced to the music of one of the finest dance organizations in Coral Gables. Student support in the future should be given these affairs.
At the regular meeting of the Newman Club, held last Tuesday, it was decided to call a special meeting next Tuesday evening at 8 p. m. in the Newman Club rooms to make final preparations for the entertainment of the Duquesne University football team when they arrive for the New Year’s i game.
Since Duquesne is a Catholic institution, the Newman Club is co-| operating with the faculty and ath-: letic association in entertaining the Yearn and urgently request that ; every Catholic in the University be present at the meeting next Tuesday.
Jim Henderson Also S. L A. A. Mention
Y.W.C.A. Christmas Program To Be Given Next Thursday
Inter-Sorority Group Hears Miss Merritt About Trip
The Inter-Sorority Council meet-lng was held in The Delta Tau room Monday at 2:30. Ruth Creal, President of the organization, presided. New pledges of the various sororities were announced and pledging was discussed. Miss Merritt talked on her trip as inspector of Phi Mu chanters || iu several colleges throughout the I South. Refreshments were served y Ruth Sims and Beryl Ryden.
; The Y. W. C. A. Christmas program will be given at the meeting next Thursday at 10:30 in the ghL social hall. The following program has been arranged: “Christmas ¡Celebration in Cuba,” by Elsie ! Carleton; Chistmas selections by : the Girls’ Glee Club, under the direction of Mrs. Frances Hovey Bergh; a Christmas story by Mrs. Melanie Rosborough, and Christinas carols by the entire club. It I is announced that all donations for ¡the Christmas baskets must be in ¡by today, Friday. These donations are to be taken to Miss Merritt’s office.
In naming the members of the Hurricane football team who were accorded honorable mention on the all-S. I. A. A. conference team in last week’s paper, the name of Jimmy Henderson, hard-working varsity center, was unintentionally omitted. Because of his outstanding play at the pivot position on the Hurricane team, Henderson was awarded honorable mention for that position by the selection committee. Other Miami stars who received honorable mention were Cook, Donehoo and Capt. Bill LYtalien.
As the Year Ends.
Freshman Frolic.
Queen of Clubs.
Palm Festival.
Registration, examinations, vacation, and 1933 come to an end. As we review the fleeting three months of the school term we cannot help but feel proud of ourselves.
Foremost is the unblemished record of our football team, and linked closely with that is the spirit of the student body that has so ably supported the team. To those two factors goes the credit for so successful a “Rollins-Miami” day, memories of which we shall cherish for many yea:s. Both will be on trial again this evening. Tampa is our strongest opponent thus far, the spirit of the srudent body must not wain.
We have seen a strong Freshman football team in action. Swimming, tennis and golf teams have been organized; a 1 have contributed in good measure to Miami’s splendid achievements in athletics. One-third of the school year .is behind us, such accomplishments cannot but point to an entire year of athletic supremacy.
In other fields, too, we have seen student activities assume their rightful pos tions of importance. Dramatics, with the “Importance of Being Earnest,” and three other one-act plays already behind them, assures us* ‘a full year of splendid entertainment. The Glee Club, debating, the band, and various other organizations are all working toward this being Miami’s banner year.
New students have been assimilated and are already making their marks in their chosen activities; are proving themselves worthy of being members of our student body. The majority of these new students are Freshmen. We have an excellent opportunity of showing our appreciation of their splendid spirit by supporting their dance this evening. Tickets are only 50 cents and all indications point toward its being worth many times the price of the ticket. The dance will be at the Shrine Hall, on Biscayne Boulevard.
And the question of who will be
Queen of Clubs is still a perplexing one. The dance at the Bilt-more Club will be more than an opportunity to satisfy our curiosity in this respect, it will be the final 1933 gathering of the student body, the climax of the year’s social events. December 23 is the date. Proceeds will go to the University library.
With the Duquesne game only
two weeks away interest in it becomes more marked. The game which will be played as the highlight of the Palm Festival will foreshadow that played at the Rose Bowl also on New Year’s day. The game has created considerable in-teiest and news stories have been carried in many northern papers.

McCann Considered For New Coach
Despite announcements to the contrary, University of Kentucky of-! ficials, on the hunt for a football coach to succeed Harry Gamage, re-1 signed, are considering Tom McCann, Hurricane head coach, for that position. It was also learned that McCann is highly favored by certain members of the Kentucky alumni.
McCann’s name was added to the list of prospects over the weekend. He joins with Paul Jenkins, coach of the Ashland Tomcats, and Major Sasse, former Army coach. Jenkins, according to rumors, has the inside track for the position, but now that McCann has been men-, tioned, there is a strong possibility that the southerner will get the I post.
Harry Gamage coached his last game for Kentucky Thanksgiving. The Wildcats were swamped by the University of Tennessee in that game. Following his resignation many rumors have been floating through the air as to his successor. The committee on the hunt for the 1934 season is keeping its activities under cover, but the McCann angle, although not coming direct from the committee, is from an authoritative source.
McCann’s great record at Miami this year and his upset victory over the mighty Manhattan team of New York City last New Year’s Day, enabled McCann to be placed on the list of those considered for the Kentucky post next year. The Hurricanes 33 to 7 victory over the University of Louisville this year also demonstrated that McCann is capable of turning out a winning ball club to Kentuckians who followed the Louisville team closely.
McCann gained his football knowledge from the' veteran Bob Zuppke, and played in the line at Illinois during the Harold “Red” Grange regime. He led the interferance for Grange on many of his sensational runs. Before coming to Miami as head coach and athletic director, McCann enjoyed marked success with high school teams in Florida, coaching high schools in Miami and also at Tampa.
ANNUAL AFFAIR WILL FEATURE GOOD PROGRAM
Freshman Talent To Be Used Almost Exclusively In Entertainment
When the University of Miami football team has completed what promises to be one of the best games of the season with Tampa, the annual Freshman Frolic will get under way at the Shrine Hall.
In this affair, the first official bow of the freshman class to the University, every effort will be made to make the dance one of the finest of the year.
The Miamelodians, well known as an all-school organization, will supply the music. The entertainment will consist entirely of freshman talent, and promises to be outstanding.
Decorations have been supplied by Miami business men. Several theaters have donated Mickey Mouse pictures as well as scenes from a few famous pictures.
The committee has had the support of the entire freshman class in its efforts to make this dance a social as well as a financial success. The support of the upper classmen is all that is needed.
Special mention should be made of the work of the following freshmen, who have worked so diligently for the success of the Frolic:
Madelin Gamble, Henry Louis, Martha Powell, A1 Duhaime, Robert Rosthal, Ellen Shumate, and the class president, George Henry Chubb.
ONE-ACT PLAYS TO BE GIVEN
REGISTRATION Registration for the winter term will be held on Monday and Tuesday, December 18 and 19, in the auditorium. Final examinations will be held on Wednesday and Thursday, December 20 and 21. The examination schedule is posted on the bulletin boards.

By MARIAN YOUNGS Those who wonder what the li-! brarian is doing with the piles of books by her desk and the cards , she types, should take a look at the catalog which is being started. It now occupies part of two draw-j ers in the catalog cabinet, and will I eventually fill the entire case and perhaps need more room. When it is completed, evrey book in the library will be classified and indexed by subject, author, and title,
1 so that instead of looking rather aimlessly around for a book on a particular topic, one can look it up in the catalog and see at a glance all the books which we have on that subject.
The books will be classified ac-i cording to the Dewey Decimal sys-j tern, which is almost universally used in the libraries of this coun-I try- This system divides all knowledge into 10 fields, and assigns numbers accordingly, with decimal I numbers j added for subdivisions. ¡The main divisions are as follows:
I 000 General works.
100 Philosophy (including psychology.
| 200 Religion.
300 Sociology.
! 400 Philology (the science language) philology.
; 500 Pure science.
600 Useful arts, i 700 Fine arts.
800 Literature.
900 History.

Pep Meeting Shows Much Enthusiasm
of
One of the noisiest and most enthusiastic pep meetings of the year was held in the auditorium Wednesday. The school body was addressed by Coach McCann, who stressed the importance of the Tampa game. McCann asked the support of the students in the Tampa contest so that we would be able to gain the minor college championship of Florida. “If we win this game we will win a great deal of prestige for ourselves and will be able to enter the game with ¡Duquesne with a real reputation,” said the coach.
Songs and cheers were rehearsed at this meeting and plans were formulated for the bonfire which took place last night.
