-Homecoming Fireworks Start Today ALUMS INVADE CAMPUS FOR 5-DAY WHIR Born during a hurricane, bred during a depression and maturing in a world war, the fabulous University of Miami celebrates its 25th birthday this week. A Silver Anniversary Homecoming that cavorts through five days with more events than a three-ring circus and more decor than a five-star general, will celebrate the notable occasion. Possible scene-stealers are Claude Pepper, former senator; Johnny Long, bandleader; Jennie Tourel, soprano; the Hurricane gridders; and several thousand alumni who are back to take a look at the meteoric rise of their old stamping grounds. Pepper will pop the strings of the Homecoming package today at 1 p.m. in a luncheon address to Omicron Delta Kappa, national leadership-scholarship fraternity and sponsors of Homecoming. A complete show on wheels will hit the road at 7 tonight as more than 30 floats vie for prizes on the streets of Coral Gables. The crowd can stretch their legs afterwards at a street dance in front of the city hall, or attend the Ring theatre musical, “Finian’s Rainbow," at 8:30 p.m. University Day will charge the scene tomorrow with a lightning-like order of events. Registration and guided tours will go on all day and an energetic person might see, in chronological order, judging of house decorations, Iron Arrow tapping and the unveiling of a tradition-beckoning navy bell in the morning. The afternoon starts with an Iron Arrow banquet and is followed by a pep rally, frosh-soph field day, Dixieland concert, music-alumni tea dance, U-M band concert, alumni dinner and the annual Home- coming dance at Dinner Key auditorium. “America's Favorite College Band," navigated by Johnny Long, the left-handed violinist, will give the best for the dance. The brightest spotlight will shine on the Homecoming Queen, who will be presented for the first time at the dance. U-M Law school has tagged Saturday as "Supreme Court of Florida Day” and will prove it at 9:30 a m. breakfast in the Student Club. Visitors will be treated to something other colleges can’t offer when speedboat races and a ski show churns the waters of the Student Club lake Saturday at noon. At the same time, a car parade will tread its way down Flagler street in downtown Miami. One of the hottest football rivalries in the South will see Miami’s Hurricanes wrestle the Gators from the Univers^ of Florida Saturday night. Pre-/gap»f‘ and half-time ceremonies will display the winning floats, the winning Homecoming beauty and U-M’s “Band of the Hour.” U-M's lettermen will open the doors of the Temple ballroom after the game for a dance. Outstanding player of the game for a receive a trophy from the lovely hands of the Homecoming Queen. Soprano Jennie Tourel will sing with the symphony orchestra, conducted by John Bitter, Sunday and Monday at 8:30 p.m. The first performance will be at the Miami Beach auditorium and the second at Dade County auditorium. Throughout the Homecoming weekend, more than 80 exhibits will be on display in different departments of the University at both Main and North campuses. * SPECIAL HOMECOMING EDITION * The Miami Hurricane Volume XXVII University of Miami, Coral Gabi es, Fla., November 15, 1951 No. 7 Queen Naming Set For Dance ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Story On Page 3 ★ ★ ★ Canes, Gators Grapple In Grudge Game Story On Page 8 •• • •• ^¡1} \ \
