0 last week’s football game. Its ° thor, y°u wil1 further notice, is &nne other than Johnny Ott, captain of the football squad.
Johnny was injured in scrim-e to the extent that he probably wil1 be 0Ut °f the Iineup for
a good part of this season’s sched-ule It’s his last year, too, and we all feel with him the toughest of tough breaks. Many a weaker man would probably sit on the sidelines brooding over his misfortune, but not so with Johnny. When Ott learned the nature and extent of his injuries he refused to lose interest in the progress of his team, instead he sat tensely on the bench, wrapped in his teammates every move, took notes of their every move, and early this week preesnted the Hurricane with his version of the game. It is men like that that are made captains of Hurricane teams, it is men like that that are deserving of the wholehearted applause of the student body whom they represent.

And while on the subject of football we would compliment each member of that fighting squad that represented us last week. With odds against them they went into the game determined to do Coach McCann and the University of Miami a service which they deserved. We applaud you, members of our grid machine.

Vig. Committee Active Among Freshman Class
Relations Club Organizes Under New Methods
This issue of the Hurricane
carries an announcement that a faculty committee on organizations after confering with Dr. Ashe, has decided to reorganize the Inter-fraternity council. For over a year this column has pleaded that such a move be taken; it prides itself on the fact that it has in some measure helped to bring about this result. A word of caution goes to those who will be a part of it. The fact remains that interest in the former organization could only become as dormant as it did because of poor policies on the part of the organization. We ask that before re-establishment the policies of the organization be carefully studied and, if it is then found necessary, an organization be established rather than re-established.
An active Inter-fraternity council should at all times be a final authority on all inter-fraternity issues. To become this it must be an absolutely impartial body, it must be constantly working for the betterment of fraternity life at the University, and foremost, it must be a body established for the purpose of aiding the Univer-sity of Miami.

On a small campus, such as this °ne, where only one national fra-ternity exists, it is not strange that much ignorance regarding fraternity life and the duties of a eternity exists. It is the duty °f the new council to dispell ignor-mme on this subject. One of the l0ugh the agency of a Greek m the larger Universities these mest methods of doing this is °rum or Greek conclave. At many meetings take place once a year, sually in ^e spring and they are ^ ®nded by all fraternity and so-0rity members as well as independents. Guest speakers familiar

*	y life are invited and through
a better understanding is aintained between the several
Greek
organizations. Whether such

meeting would be advisable on

The Vigilance Committee for the girls headed by Madge Gamble, compliments the freshmen girls for their splendid cooperation with the medium of regulations set up by the upper-class-men. There are a few however that fail to see the significance of the wearing of the freshman “dinks” and the obeyance of the freshman rules. These freshmen girls will either cooperate or else find it very hard to continue their school activities in peace.
For the week of October 22nd the freshman girls will be expected to do the following things:
Monday	—	Bring manicuring
scissors and tweezers and meet in the patio at 12:30 Noon.
Tuesday—Braid your hair in 6 braids and wear a hair ribbon on one side and your “dink” on the other.
Wednesday—A poem is to be written and the girls are all supposed to memorize it and recite the same	in	the	patio at	noon
Wednesday.
Thursday—Each girl is to have a black smudge on hr nose.
Friday—No make-up is to be
worn.
“Carry out these rules or else ,” quote Madge Gamble.

New Sorority Is Founded With National Sponsor
Group To Be Known As Theta Chi, Sponsored by Alpha Ep Phi
A new sorority has made its appearance on the campus. Sunday evening a group of girls met at the home of Mrs. Freidman, a member of the Alpha Epsilon Phi, a national sorority. It was there that the first meeting of the group to be known as the Theta Chi Sorority was held. Election of officers and settlement of fees occupied the main part of the meeting. The officers stand at present:
President, Beatrice Bornstein.
Vice President, Harriett Kann.
Secretary, Evelyn Korn.
Treasurer, Audrey Rothenberg.
Other members are: Edna Wal-kowsky, Sylvia Lipton, Lucille | Walters, Rhoda Lichtman and Ce-cile Alexander.
This new sorority has been a topic for discussion for a few years and the members are happy now that their plans have been realized. The Theta Chi Sorority announces that they will be spon-sorel by Alpha Epsilon Phi.
GIRLS’ GLEE CLUB STARTS
The eager response shown by the freshmen to Ernie Duhaime’s request for a cannon to be used at the games, proved that school spirit prevails in that lower class of students.
Almost twenty minutes after the request was given, four Pi Chi boys, Bob Calahan, Bob Doster, Bob Eggerman and “Wit” Washburn arrived in the patio with the first cannon. A little later four more freshmen, Daisy Wood, Meyers Gibbens, George Wheeler and Bob MacVoy brought in the second cannon, obtained from the Coconut Grove Yacht Club.
Jimmie Parsons, George Flynn and Charles O’Rourke, all Phi Alpha boys, offered to furnish aerial bombs, but because of the expense involved, they were not permitted to do so.
As a result of the fine spirit shown by these students they will not only be known as the “Heroes of the Campus” but will also be-exempted from all freshmen regulations for a period of one week.
All studnts who are now affiliated with organizations participating in instrumurals but who never the less would like to take part in the intramural program are urged to communicate with Frank Smith at once.
The Girls Glee Club began rehearsals last week and will practice each Tuesday and Thursday in room 268 at 12:30 under the direction of Frances Hovey Bergh.
All girls interested are urged to come to the rehearsals to try out. At present the club is preparing to appear during the Amer-j ican Legion convention.
Members in the glee club at present include: Mary Louise Dorn, president; Evelyn Estridge, Mary Jane McDonough, Frances Boden, Anna Dalida, Kathleen Posek, Lois Taylor, Rose Gross, Margaret Helen Masten, Sarah Bergh, Frances Elder, Anne Ashe, Madeline Gamble. Ferrelle Allen is the accompanist for the glee club.

GkLs’ Domicile Yields Man^ Interesting Details To Reporter

Mom and Pop Koch are the guiding lights, Mom being general advisor and toner-downer. Then there is Georgie who is for ever shaking the girls out of the

week or so______ And, of course,
Mrs. Shooey must be mentioned. She is the lady who has been searching for that funny story for her Public Speaking class. ‘Shooey’ is the one who hears hushed voices upstairs in the wrong rooms after ten, and rush dressing rooms or under the beds, pus some one. By then, the girls have already escaped into the dressing rooms or. undr the beds.
There is a weakness among
them for nicknames. Atlas and Hero, as their names imply, are the most powerful of the bunch. Zip (or Sylvia) is the dorm vamp. Acorn is the harangued pianist whose Rachmaninoff Prelude usually preceeds supper, if Here is around. Dallas is the tall blueeyed Texan with more banners tacked on her walls than roaches on the floor ... and that’s saying something. Madge is the long, and laughing blond whose slender limbs would model clothes beautifully ... if she ever tried. Judy is the quiet miss who comes and goes . . . with the men.
