THERE MAY NOT BE SNOW IN MIAMI but evidence of the Yuletide season can be seen as this Sigma
Alpha Epsilon party serenades a group of girls in the University dorms. Songs of the Christmas season
were sung by the SAE's to the dormitory women to get in step with the coming holidays. This group ti
dreaming of a white Christmas, and a majority of them will be seeing snow when they arrive home in the
North to spend the two-week vacation starting Wednesday. School recesses Wednesday and opens again
Jan. 4, 1951.
U-M Mentor To Stick With Canes;
'Happiest Year Of My Life Here'
Coach Andy Gustafson put the student body and the whole city of
Miami at ease Wednesday evening when he announced that he had "no
intention of leaving the University of Miami."
The decision by Gus came after a meeting with U-M President Bowman
F. Ashe Wednesday afternoon. Dr. Ashe happily stated, "We like Coach
Gustafson and he likes us."
The U-M head said that n 10-year agreement had been reached nt th#
conference.  No  announcement   was   made   concerning
the amount of salary which the ex-Pitt star will receive under the new agreement.
All week long it had been rumored that the popular
Cane mentor was bound lor Minnesota. The Gopher
athletic director had publicly announced Wednesday
morning that he had invited Gus to the Big Ten school
to look over the setup.
In his outright denial of leaving Miami, Coach Gustafson said, "There have been a lot of rumors that I
am leaving Miami. I have no intention of leaving. I am
going to stay with all these kids who have given me a
great football team and the happiest year of my life."
It was obvious that the ex-Army aide was happy here in the deep South.
He has stated many times how much he loves this climate.
This is the second time in two-years that university has tried to woo
the Hurricane leader away from the U-M. Last season his alma mater,
Pittsburgh, sent out feelers in Gus's direction.
Many feared that the Minnesota offer would be too much for Miami's
choice for Coach of the Year to pass up. To move into the Big Ten and
direct a team with the prestige that the Gophers have is a chance that
does not come every day.
It is reported that he was offered some $20,000 to pack his bags and
move into the mid-West. There is no doubt that one of the contributing
factors in Gus's decision was the fine treatment given to bim by Miami
students and fans.
