              Faculty Takes
Stand
on
By NANCY HANDLER
Hurricane Staff Writer
Many members of the UM faculty have chosen not
not to take an affirmative or negative position in the
FEA teacher strike. The tenor of the faculty appears
to be that each individual faculty member may ill c
an opinion, but no group action is appropriate.
Dr. Charlton W. Tebeau, Chairman of the Faculty Senate, stated, "The reason why the Faculf
Senate has not taken a stand on the crisis is because
it is concerned with the welfare of internal concern:-,
such as the students and the faculty. It is outside the
province of the Faculty Senate unless the crisis directly concerns us."
When asked what his comment was about the
Strike procedure and whether or not it was beneficial,
Dr. Tebeuu explained, "I wouldn't want to answer
that question specifically, hut I will Mate that it is a
result of the failure of th.  st  t»   <•       i up with the
rowing pains .'n i ducation. It ;ifl :   University
i the long run in ■  uch tin' same      \ that   n   indus-
uould be hurl. It had I \t:    do I'in to i-   net not
oily on the state hut on every in >!c.utio.i."
Dr. Robert E Hendricks, a member of the Fac-
ult\ Senate from the Education .Department, also
commented on the Strike.
"Definitely the Education Department has felt
the greatest impact of the Strike, since it directly
affected the field experience program for Junior and
Senior student teachers."
"The whole situation has been a colossal mess
— I don't think it was handled in the best possible
way," he continued.
Are you for or against the Strike? "I can't respond with a simple yes or no since it is so complicated. I would be inclined to say that I support in principal the action of the teaching profession to improve
the educational system of the state, but not their
means," Dr. Hendricks concluded.
Dr. John R. Beery, Dean of the School of Educa
tion, issued a~,*t>iiU£ment (Mfle current school crisis in
which he stated that!>*Tn»&£rjternber thje faculty of the
School of Education addressetT^>«MQfJtion to legislative, governmental, and FEA leaders which said in
part: We strongly urge the governmental and educational leadership of the state to utilize their complete
energies to insure the uninterrupted operation of
Florida's public schools."
"The interruption has occurred. In the interest of
the pupils, the community, and the teaching profession itself, this tragic interruption of schooling must
somehow be terminated and normal operation of
schools with qualified teachers be resumed as speedily as possible."

Memorial Cell Block No. 34 swings its doors open
for nightly recess when inmates can smoke, talk,
and occasionally make a break. Did you ever wonder why all those portraits of unfamiliar faces dec
orate the back of the rooms? Or why there are dedication plaques on the walls? That is why they call
it the Memorial Building, dumb-dumb.
Live Cobra Highlights
Talk by Snake Authority
By MELANI VAN PETTEN
Hurricane Staff Writer
A six-foot cobra swayed
menacingly on a table in the
Flamingo Ballroom Tuesday
evening, while a disturbed
d i a m o n d-back rattlesnake
rattled in the background,
and a blue indigo snake-
curled contentedly in a lady's
handbag.
Bill Haast, owner of the
Miami Serpentarium and
w e 11-known authority on
poisonous snakes, moved one
hand back and forth to attract the cobra's attention,
while his other hand came
slowly behind the snake's
head. As the snake followed
the motion of one hand, the
other grabbed him behind the
head. Then Haast proceeded
to "milk" the snake for his
venom.
The reason that the venom
Is of such importance is due
to   the   fact   that   it   cannot
be synthesized by chemical
means. Main of the snakes,
although they come from a
similar biological family, do
not have the same makeup of
venom.
Haast, who has been bitten
a total of 102 times, has built
up an immunization to many
of the venoms. His immunization reached the saturation
point in 1956, after he- suffered the bite of a King Cobra.
A film, entitled "Adventure", was shown at the beginning of the lecture. In this
film, the cobra worshippers
of Burma performed the ritual supplication to the
Snake God. An upland village had not had a baby boy
born in the past year. The-
high priestess felt that this
was due to the Cobra God.
Ihe ritual consisted of the
priestess drawing the Cobra
from its lair, swaying before
it as it attempted to bite her,
and then kissing it three
times on the head. By this
ritual, the god was supposedly satisfied and the village
relieve   of its boy-less curse.
Hapst stated that The Ser-
Ut  r.    l.  his  Mi;>mi   show -

I lis  wife   slated  that.  "This
has been  his  drc..m  lor  the
past 40 years."
Haasl began gi tting bitten
by snakes in 1926. His closest brush with death came
last year, when he was bitten
by a highly poisonous snake
from Australia. He was hospital!; cd  by this bite tor a

Richard Calls For End
Of UM Board Of Review;
Charges It 'A Mockery'
By CRAIG PETERSON
* Hurricane ttafl Writer
Calling the Board of Review "a mockery of our gov-
ernmental system," USG
President Dennis Richard
introduced two amendments
designed to provide a Superior Court in lieu of the existing system.
Patterned closely after
U.S. judicial courts, the Superior Court would be empowered to handle only non-academic matters and would be
Strictly excluded from examining violations of the UM
Honor Code.
Violations of the uses of
alcohol, narcotics, marijuana,
misuse of visiting hours, or
curfews, violations of any
cither university or civil rules
or laws would come under
the jurisdiction of the court.
A Chief Justice and six
Associate Justices, full-time
UM students not affiliated
with other USG branches,
would compose the Court.
The seven would be responsible for interpreting the constitution, USG legislation, offenses against the legislature
and official disciplinary actions.
Trials before the Court
would resemble normal U.S.
procedures, including full
provisions for counsel (UM
or Law School students), the
right to subpoena witnesses
and evidence, full disclosure
of charges and evidence
against the defendant as well
as arraignment, sentencing
and appeals before the Court.
Richard's other amendment prescribes qualifications  and  powers  for  mem-
bets of the Superior Court
and provides for a parking
authority and Traditions
Court.
In the face of opposition to
immediate passage, Richard
explained that the Board of
Review, in his words, is "ridiculous, with too much power."
"It  should ex'st  to work
(en  the itudc its, r >' •>" 'inst
them." he said.
Council members \oted to
table the amendments for an
Indefinite period.
Dr. 'Doc' Adams, Director
of the Student Union, asked
(he Council to approve  new-
Warhol Here
Tomorrow Night
Andy Warhol, famed New
York "pop" artist and the
pioneer of underground films,
will present his movies and
views in a lecture, tomorrow
night at 7:45 p.m. on the
Student Union Patio.
Warhol, whose first claim
to fame was his paintings of
Campbell's soup cans, has
made several films on such
topics as "Sleep," eating,
appropriately titled "Lat,"
and a rather clinical study of
the Empire State Building
called, "Empire."
The Carnegie Tech graduate feels, "everything is art.
You go to a museum and
they say this is art and the
little squares are hanging on
the wall. But everything Is
art, and nothing is art."
There is speculation on the
part of some students about
the possibility of Warhol not
showing for the lecture. "On
several past occasions Mr.
Warhol has been known to
breach his contract by sending  a   'double'  to  lecture  in
Andy Warhol
his  pill e.  One  IUC Ii  01 I asion
was   at   the   University   of
Utah last October, where an
■ l t ei i-impcrsonator took
Warhol's place, as he had
clone can two previous college
appearance*."
Whether Warhol ihowi, oi
an impersonator is sent in his
pill i .   ie mains   to   he   seen.
However, i n preventative
from the- l owe Att Gallery
will be present in the audience Saturday night to
detl i/nine if UM is getting a
gl nnine "Warhol."

The campus parking dilemma and its possible solutions
was the topic of a report
submitted this week by the
UM Parking Authority Commit ti
I he i omm ttee p portl thai
there are 5,142 parking
spaces on campus whie h now
must handle at least 8,000
cars. This crisis is accentuated, according to the committee, by the fact that most
cars approach campus from
the north or east and rarely
fill remote parking lots to the
south and west of center
campus.
The committee recommended education of both
students and faculty as to
the existence of the available
spaces in order to alleviate
the immediate problem.
The c6mmittee also noted
that, as time goes on, the
problem will likely grow
worse. New buildings, more
students, and the elimination
of North Campus will be
sources of increased parking
aggravation.
In a few years there will
only be peripheral parking at
UM and students and faculty
will have to walk from the
outskirts of the campu-
classes and offices in the
center.
Until the peripheral parking plan is put into effect,
the  parking  committee  rec-
THIS NORTHERN UM PARKING LOT SHOWS
the effects of 8,000 cars and 5,142 parking spaces.
Parking problems in the northern and eastern lots
are intensified by most students approaching from
these directions and using the first available lots.
o m m e n d s    the    following
measures:
(1)
front of the Merrick Building,
on Lutheran Church Proper-
on Lincoln property,
along EEC railroad, where
Sewage Works are now located, and extension of the
lot by fcaton Hall. High rise
parking has been ruled unfeasible at the moment due
to the $2,100 a car cost.
(2) |  bus  e ircling campus

on campus.
(3) Faculty Club bus to
avoid losing spaces at lunch
hour.
M) Pay paik ng in the
Union lot (J his proposal has
already been voted down by
the Union Boatd of Governors.)
(5) Suffer penalties for
violators.
I\ leirmed b\ laws nf this
year's Election Board. Council members voted 6-6 to
table the measure. Richard
broke the tie and discussion
of the by-laws is slated to
resume at the next Council
meeting.
Election Board chairman,
John Leatherwood, was unhappy with the decision,
complaining that the delay
would mem i setback for, the
Board.
In the closing minutes of
the meeting, representatives
Phil Bloom and Bruce
O'Boyle introduced a proposal
to include a write-in provision in the upcoming USG
election ballots.
