By JAY CLARKE
Hurricane Sport* Editor
Although “Harry’s" hurricane is gone and another one is heading toward the coast, Miamians will probably have a different kind of worry next Thursday when 45 Hurricanes (the U-M variety) converge on Miami to start grid drills for the '49 football season.
Coach Andy Gustafson's gridders will have two workouts daily, an hour and 15 minutes in the morning and an afternoon
U-M Fall Evening Classes Slated For Ft Lauderdale Area
Residents of Fort Lauderdale who expect to attend evening classes this fall will be saved a lot of travel. According to Dr. William Dismukes, dean of the adult education division classes will be offered in Fort Lauderdale starting September 26.
The courses, to be given at the Fort Lauderdale high school building, will cover about 10 subjects, and will be part of the
University curricula of the adult education program.
All the classes will be held in the evening, and all are of regular college level and can be used toward a degree.
Dr. Dismukes said that the adult education division will offer more than a hundred courses in the full semester at the Main campus and at Fort Lauderdale. The registration will be on September 16-24 at either the U-M office on the Main campus or the Fort Lauderdale classes at ■100 Blast Broward Blvd.
Subjects to be offered in the Fort Lauderdale schedule include accounting, business law, commercial art, economics, government, history, management, marketing, psychology, radio, and speech.
More than 90 courses will be offered at the Main campus, and will include such subjects as: celestial navigation, woodworking, refrigeration, architectural drawing, blue print preparation and other vocational courses, as well as classes in academic subjects.
In addition to the regular courses offered, Dr. Dismukes said that special conferences and lectures are planned for the fall. The Dade countyi institute, which will run from February 20 to March 3, will offer a 2-week concentrated course of study in different fields of interest to teachers. Sponsored jointly by the University and the Dade county public school administration, the classes will be conducted at the central school building in Miami in the late afternoon.
Also planned is a marriage and family institute, Dr. Dismukes said. The institute is being worked out with the cooperation of the Sociology department and wjth various social agents, and is aimed at providing discussions of the factors which tend to make for success, qr failure, in marriage.
Retail Training Slated For Fall
When students enroll in the new Cooperative Retail training program this fall, they will have the benefit of Dr. Victor W. Bennett’s first-hand summer vacation research on the subject.
This course requires the student to spend a certain amount of time in class and a certain amount of time in retail stores as employees. This set-up will give the student theoretical and practical experience in retailing.
In order to study the problems such a course offers, Dr. Bennett attended a national meeting and visited two universities.
First he attended the national meetings of the American Marketing association at St. Louis. Here he gained valuable information from manufacturers, market nepearch agencies, and college instructors not only on the program but also on other marketing news.
Next he visited St. Louis university where he conferred with officials, talked with students already taking such a course, and questioned faculty, members. .Many of these findings will be used in the course here.
From St. Louis, Dr. Bennett motored to Pittsburgh university to visit the Retail Research bureau.

'Cabbage Patch' Flat Broke Borrowers Please Take Note
The "cabbage patch” in the Student Club is temporarily broke. As a result of summer mixups and delays in veteran’s checks, UM students who borrowed its five dollar bills are flatter than a buck private who hasn't been paid in six months.
Patterned after a unique small loan system originated by a kindly restaurateur on a northern campus, the “cabbage patch”, run by the UM student association, will loan $5 on your signature alone. The catch is that your loan slip will Ire turned around on the bulletin board for all to see if you don't pay the loan back in ten days.
The fund is limited to $50 and currently, of the ten slips on the
bulletin board, seven are in arrears. Most of these date back more than
30 days.
Larry Conners, "cabbage patch" treasurer, says, “I'm sure all borrowers will pay up just as soon us their long-delayed checks come through. While several borrowers during the first summer session left town owing, they have since mailed in the fiver."
If everyone pays up .by the end of the second summer session so Larry will have an intact loun furid of $50 to show a doubting student association senate, he hopes to get approval to extend the “cabbage patch” kitty to about $200.
^session beginning at 4:15 p.m. and lusting until their boss is satisfied. They'll have exactly four weeks practice before the Sept 30 opener against Rollins.
Gustafson will have a young squad this year.
Over half of the 45 footballers are sophomores, and 12 are juniors.
There are only five seniors.
Finding a successor to Harry Ghaul in the kicking department is still one of Gus- Gustafson tafson's big problems. The U-M mentor thinks that Andy Nuvak may fill the bill in this respect but he also has his eye on John Ferguson, a reformed guard now playing fullback.
lias Tackle Solution
Gustafson thinks that his other big weak spot, the tackle position, may lie plugged very nicely with Bob Carroll and A1 Carapella. Sam David will also be buck this year, hut his weak knee makes his berth on the first string uncertain.
Iaist year’s crop of freshmen will sec a lot of action this full with the varsity, Gustafson indicated. Guards Charlie George and Hay Arcangel-etti will probably hold down first string offensive lierths. The other erst-while frosh will also play a lot of bull.
Too Early To Be Sure
"Of course," Gustufson said, "it's too early yet to he sure of every IHisition. The way the lioys shape up in practice will determine the starting positions.”
The Hurricanes will run off the "T" again this year, with quarterback Jack Del Bello as the key man. Del Bello will get the bulk of the passing chores, Gustafson indicated, with Jack Hnckett, Dave McDonald, Jack Brusington, and Cupt. Clive Shrader assisting.
2-Team System Again
The two-team system—offensive and defensive—will Ire employed ugain this fall. This means that there will Ire, in effect, 22 first string positions.
What the Canes lacked in reserves last year they make up this fall, for competition for the various positions, sometimes ns much as nine deep, promises to Ire keen.
"I think we’ll have a much more spirited squad than last season," Gustafson said.

Playwriting Taught At U-M—Or Write Hamlet In 10 Easy Lessons
Shakespeare had to learn the hard way, but students at the University may learn playwriting by enrolling in Drama 321.
Frederick H. Koch, Jr., head of the drama department, guides the young aspirants through a course in handling dialogue and sketching
characters.
At the beginning of school, the students- are instructed in plot structure and different methods of dealing with characters. Unlike a novel, a play must demonstrate the thoughts behind the faces and create atmosphere through conversation rather than description.
Each student is required to write a 1-Act play. Scripts are brought into the Box theater where classes are held. Professor Koch does not refer to them as plays until they
have Ireen performed before an audience. Before then, the script is “a blueprint for action.”
The author reads his play to the class. A general discussion follows. Students and professor criticize the plot and characters. After the “bull session,” Professor Koch and the class sum up the pros and cons, in-dictating strength in some places and pointing out the weak spots.
The author sometimes finds the characters getting out of hand. The lieginners may desire to write a play entirely different than the finished product. It is possible, say some students, to detest a character after you have created him.
Plays written by the class are filed in the office. In the fall some of ! them are presented in the Box theater.
