Town Turns Out To Meet Hurricanes
“Those Students Really Have That Thing Called School Spirit”—Bystander
Cheers and songs rocked the Sea-board Airline Railroad station as approximately 600 University students, the band, and a large group of townspeople welcomed the returning Hurricane gridders Tuesday morning.
Climaxing the gala reception, a rousing pep meeting was held on the Dade County courthouse steps, with cheerleaders and members of the Quarterback’s Club officiating. A1 Collins, one of the more popular V.C.’s, was on hand to assist cheerleader “Spareribs” Yarrington. Bystanders, lining Flagler Street, remarked that “those University students really have that thing called school spirit, don’t they?”
With short broadcasts over WQAM and WIOD, comments by Pat Railey, Dr. Ashe, Everett Clay, Coaches Jack Harding and Hart Morris, Capt. Eddie Dunn, and Steve McCrimmon were rendered in regard to the Chicago field, Drake, and the rise of the football team throughout the past years.
Touchdown Tommy boomed forth “Welcome Home Hurricanes” as gay-ly decorated cars, blaring horns, and freshman dinks predominated during the march back to classes, following a parade through the city.
Merited by the courtesy of the Quarterback’s Club, eight buses were provided to transport freshman footballers, band members, and students to and from the reception.
Impeachment Act Dies of Neglect
Impeachment proceedings against Martha Dorn and George Hamilton, associate justices, died an inconspicuous death this week as the Honor Court refused to press non-feasance charges made last week.
Chief Justice John Brion yesterday announced that the court would not proceed with action against the justices on the condition that they attend all future scheduled meetings.
Miami Coca-Cola Co. Give* $500 to Hurricanci
Real civic spirit was demonstrated by the local Coca Cola Compnay the last two weeks. Not only did the firm overhaul and repair in the University colors the Hurricane bus in their repair and maintenance shops, but it has contributed a check for $500 to University of Miami football.
The five hundred dollars has been an annual gift from the beverage company.
DebatersWork Up Lather For Empty House
Orovitz, Satin Upset Last Year’s Champs; McCarthy Cops Oratorical Honors
Before an audience consisting of approximately ten people, Dan Satin and Maurice Orovitz, representing Tau Epsilon Phi fraternity, won the trophy presented by the Debate Council in the third intramural debate contest held last night, by defeating Bob Crane and Lloyd Whyte, last year’s winners, who represented Alpha Phi Omega. The subject taken by the contestants was: resolved war should be declared in the United States by vote of the people. Orovitz was debating for the first time in his life.
Clamorous Applause
The avid audience included several parents of participants, two high school boys obtaining debate pointers, the judges, debate coach Head, four curious students, and a reporter. Clamorous applause greeted each heated outburst of rhetoric.
In the oratorical contest which took place Tuesday, Don McCarthy took the first place medal plus the TEP trophy, Lloyd Whyte was awarded the second place medal, while Erwing Leibowitz and Laura Green won third and fourth places respectively.
Others entering the oratory division were Charles Eisenwinter, Ben Axelroad, Betty Letaw, Frank Hopkins, and Robert Eisman. The third debate team, composed of Ben Axel-road and Betty Letaw, was defeated by the negative group of Crane and Whyte.
Court Candidates Are Forgotten Men As Student Voting Sinks ToNewLow
A new low was hit in the election to fill the vacancy in the Honor Court last Friday, when only 238 students turned out to vote. The entire campaign was rather quiet and when asked, the following students all had an excuse for not showing up.
Elizabeth Ashworth: “I forgot about it.”
Vincent McCormick (bewildered): “It was freshman election wasn’t it, I didn’t know anything about it.
Dustin Bergh: “They are all three friends of mine—that is, Wayne’s an acquaintance. I couldn’t vote for one and against the others.
Evalyn Daniel: “Huh?”
Frank Bueker: “Yes, I voted. I thought it was my privilege to vote so I did.”
Lai Edwards: “I don’t know what
is going on around here.”
Mary Ellen Whalen: “I forgot about it.”
Eunice Ellis: “I just didn’t vote. I didn’t know any of the candidates but Wayne.”
Anne Kuperberg: “I forgot, and I was supposed to vote for somebody. That is my school spirit.”
Philip Ackerman: “Vote for what?” Robert Poat: “No I did not vote because I did not feel like it.”
Betty Wylie: “No, vote for what? Nobody told me about it.”
A. J. Walker: “Yes, I voted. I did not know any of the candidates, so I closed my eyes and just put an X by one.”
Stanley Tucker: “No, I don’t know why I did not vote. I was busy.” Vera Fletcher: “I did not have time.”
Senate Allots $7,660 For ’39 Activities
$400 Increase Earmarked For Hurricane; Debaters, Boxers Also Get Raise
The Student Senate slashed and polished the ’38-’39 activity fund budget for two and a half hours Tuesday afternoon but got all of the major items taken care of before it was through.
Out of $7660 allotted from the student activity fund, the Miami Hurricane, the University debate team, and boxing teams came out on top with substantial increases over last year’s allotments; football, Ibis, and swimming received the same appropriations as last year; while tennis and the dramatics department suffered from the pruning treatment.
The Senators raised the Hurricane allotment from $500 to $900 with a promise to pay $100 immediately toward past debts and an additional amount later from the senate reserve fund.
Debater« Get $280
Dick Arend, debate team manager, explained the expenses incurred by the team on road trips and in entertaining visiting debate teams, and convinced the senators that the $220 laid out by the finance board was an inadequate appropriation. The senate unanimously passed a $280 debnte allotment.
Football, Ibis, and swimming team received the same appropriation as last year, $3250 to football, $2500 to the Ibis, and $150 to the swimming team.
Boxing team appropriation was raised from $200 to $250. This increase was passed with little discussion from the floor.
Over the protests of A1 Teeter, Music School senator, tennis was cut from $400 to $300 because the team was not able to present definite plans for any scheduled tours. Treasurer Frank Kerdyk at this point explained that under an agreement with U. J. Hiss, University business manager, the minor sports would be helped out financially by the administration in case of necessity.
No Mercy for the Drama Dept.
Dramatics department was cut from $100 to $30 inspite of the objections of Eddie'Baumgartner, Music School senator, who protested that the department would never be able to get student support unless it could afford to pay royalties on first-rate plays. Baumgartner’s protests were downed by the other senators.
Milt Feller, Law School senator, applied for a fencing appropriation but the motion was voted shelved to a later meeting. Treasurer Kerdyk, speaking as a fencer and citing the need for an appropriation for the team, came through with the only humorous note of the meeting with his remark, “We want to fence, and we want to fence badly.”
All other financial requests will be dealt with from the reserve fund as the organizations present their petitions, President Joe Thomas announced.
Debaters To Try Out
Debating team hopefuls will try out on November 22 in the social hall for positions on the University team,” Sidney Head, debating coach, announced today.
$100 Sen« Contest Open Until Next Tuesday
All students who wish to participate in the $100 Original Song Contest are advised by Miss Foster to turn their contributions in to her office on or before November 1, 1938.
The winning songs will be published in a University Song Book and the best of the group will receive a prize of $100. The date of the award will be announced in the Hurricane.
Lichliter Faces AssaultCharges; Soph Plaintiff
Charley Franklin Places Assault and Battery Case In Hands of Honor Court
The Honor Court has a case.
Charley Franklin, sophomore class president, filed charges Tuesday with Prosecuting Attorney A1 Spar against Bob Lichliter for alleged assault and battery.
The charges arose out of a scuffle last Monday noon when Franklin attempted to remove Carmen Nunley, freshman, from Lichliter’s company and escort her to a compulsory freshman meeting. Miss Nunley was preparing to leave the University building through the rotunda entrance.
After an exchange of words, Lichliter, it is charged, struck Franklin in the eye causing abrasions. Ignoring the sophomore pi-exy’s warning, Lichliter and Miss Nunley drove off in the former’s car.
Franklin preferred charges against his alleged assailant Friday morning with the prosecuting attorney of the Honor Court, who immediately began preparing the case for trial, set tentatively for the first of next week.
Lichliter offered the following comment on the incident, “I was hasty in my action. The V. C. under Hollahan use overbearing tactics. I offered to buy Franklin a new shirt.” He went on to say that he was on his way to work and acted under pressure.
Franklin gave this explanation of the occurrence, “I was only following my duty. The dignity of the Vigilance Committee was at stake. Also, the future deportment of the freshmen depends on the right of the V.C. to enforce its regulations. I have no hard feelings but I know that I was in the right. In the first place, I didn’t ask him where he was going, I asked the freshman. He answered for her, and in the second place she wouldn’t answer.”
The defendant will be notified of the time of the trial and will be given the opportunity to procure an attorney’s services.

Paul Miller and Tony Vandenberg, high men in the election to fill the Honor Court vacancy last Monday, will contest tomorrow in the run-off for the post from 8:30 to 3:30 in the social hall.

Miller, a junior in the School of Business Administration, is a member of Phi Alpha fraternity and a member of the University golf team last season.
Vandenberg, also a Business Ad junior, is a member and librarian of the University band and belongs to Phi Mu Alpha music fraternity.

Captain Eddie Dunn For Crucial Grid Battle
Possibly without the services of Captain Eddie Dunn and Terry Fox, their two great backs, Coach Jack Harding’s Hurricanes tomorrow night face one of the greatest football teams ever to represent Rollins College in Burdine Orange Bowl with the state gridiron championship at stake. Kickoff, 8:15.
Latest reports from Coach Harding and Trainer Bill Dayton were to the effect that both Dunn and Fox would be withheld from the crucial battle. Eddie suffered two sprained ankes and Terry aggravated an old leg injury in last week’s gruelling struggle with Drake and though both have responded favorably to treatment this week, neither has been able to take part in a scrimmage since the team returned from Des Moines Tuesday.
Tars Have Pointed for Hurricanes
On the other hand, Coach Jack MacDowell’s Tars are in perfect condition and well-rested as they were idle last weekend. The upstate outfit has pointed for tomorrow night’s contest since they upset Stetson, who also are conquerers of Florida. The Tars seek to avenge a shellacking handed them by Miami twro years ago in Winter Park.
The Hurricanes have had two hard scrimmages this week since they got back in town and Harding has had Bobby Grimes and Grant Stock-
dale running at Dunn’s and Fox’s

running
positions respectively. Miami bogged down completely at Des Moines last Saturday when Dunn and Fox left the game and Harding is concentrating on developing an attack that can be employed without the necessity of Dunn or Fox in there to spark it. The remainder of the Hurricanes are in good condition considering the two tough games and the thousands of miles of train ride that have occupied them for the past two weeks.
Tomorrow night’s contest is the eleventh meeting between the two schools. Of the previous ten Miami has won seven, the Tars two and the tenth ended in a scoreless tie.
Is the Eleventh Meeting
Coach MacDowell, whose teams are always well-drilled and smartly-coached regardless of the quality of material, this year brings a squad of veterans to face Harding’s weary Hurricanes. He lost only two men from last year’s high-scoring outfit. Eight of the starters have had at least a year of varsity experience. Of these, in the backfield, are Joe Justice, Ollie Daugherty and Dick Gillespie, all considered good ball carriers in this league. They will be aided by two sophomore aces, Clyde Jones, a triple-threater, and Charlie Lingerfelt, a fine pass-receiver and defensive back. Turk, Ogilivie and still another Justice and Daugherty are the bulwarks in the line.
Opened Season Impressively
The Tars opened their season impressively with their 18-0 victory over Stetson and followed it with a 54-0 rout of South Georgia, both future opponents of the Hurricanes. They dropped a hard-fought 19-12 decision to Oglethorpe, another Miami opponent yet to be met, when they caught the Petrels at full strength.
With Dunn out either Corcoran or Grimes will start at left half with “Long Jawn” Douglas, whose work in scrimmage this week has sparkled, at the other half. Stockdale is slated to get the call for Fox and “Old Reliable” Andy Csaky will be at quarter. In the line from left through right end will be Paskewlch, Raski, Guimento, Dixon, Snowden, Poore and Kichefski.
And it’s for the state championship!
Vigilance Committee Bears Down; Devise New Horrors ForHaplessRats
Resounding whacks of the paddle filled the auditorium as the Vigilantes settled down to the real business of reforming errant freshmen at a meeting Monday.
Speaking for the V.C., Irving Lie-bowitz warned, “There will be no more complaints against the V.C. for leniency, because there’s not going to be anything to complain about.”
Wholesale paddling was administered as boys were forced to assume the angle for various breaches of freshman rules. Erring girls conducted a song fest.
Under rigid observation freshmen showed a great improvement in their rendition of the “Alma Mater.” Marshall Head and Charles Banche confessed that they did not know it. After being paddled they sang “Hail to the Spirit.” Abashed, they gingerly resumed their seats.
For breaking regulation, Dot Lowe, Sara Elizabeth Brinson, Elizabeth
Edwards, Marianne Hitt, Sue Allen, Mina Cavitt, Jean Small, Phyllis Parham, Dayne Sox, Betty Vusvary, and Doby Spence had to lead the group in singing. As a penalty for laughing indiscreetly Alice McGruder, Hed-vvig Ringblom, and Mina Cavitt had “rat” written across their foreheads. Because she laughed as fellow freshmen were put through the paces, Janet Seerth was forced to sing a solo.
A» punishment for being found without “M” books, matches, or gum Lucy Williams, Phebc Bolton, Sara Elizabeth Brinson, Dayne Sox, Rosemary Glombe, Doby Spence, Mina Cavitt, Diana Casey, and Alice Mc-Crudcr were required to cut out Beat Rollins’’ in the grass with fingernail scissors. For a week Sara Elizabeth Brinson must spend her lunch periods cutting out “freshman.”
“We are crncking down!” said A1 Collins in the week’s prize under-statement.
