Miami Hurricane, July 19, 1968

              Security Tight At Rockefeller Conference
By FRED BRINING HarricMt Basnets Mauftr
When I covered Senator McCarthy’s press conference at the DuPont Plaza Hotel in February for the Mutual Broadcasting System, I had no difficulty gaining admittance. But last Friday I found matters entirely changed when I went to the Doral Country Club press conference for Governor Rockefellre. An assassination of a candidate had taken place between the two occasions, and now security was tight.
The conference was for the press only. The usual identification was not sufficient. I had made arrangements on the tele-
phone with two Rockefeller aides to be admitted, but the secret service men said nothing could be handled by telephone; it had to be checked thoroughly beforehand.
The secret service men took all my identification cards, which included a Hurricane Press pass, Selective Service card, an old University of Miami ID card which carried my picture (the picture was a must), driver's license, etc. The secret service men made me repeat the information on my driver’s license, asked who the editor of the Hurricane was, the advisor’s name, and many other questions, trying
to trick me, in order to prove 1 was the person carrying the cards. Even with all of this identification, the secret service men told me I did not have the proper press credentials and that I would have to leave.
After learning that 500 Mutual radio stations would be deprived of this broadcast if I did not remain, someone from the Rockefeller campaign took over. She, the Rockefeller aide, took my Hurricane Press pass and an old UM identification card with a photo. She made a few calls to confirm the information, including one to Mutual. The Rockefeller aide told me that I could
stay. Later, the secret service men told me I had been ‘cleared.’
Before the press conference began, the 25 Treasury Department men cleared the room where the conference was to be held, and went over evey inch of it, including the equipment bags I brought. When I was working later, after I had been approved, they wanted to know what the object was in my pocket. I showed them my billfold—quite harmless.
To my amazement, while I was setting up my equipment before the conference began, someone came over and touched my shoulder and shook hands with
me. Guess who? Governor Rockefeller! He took me so by surprise that I didn’t ask him the question I had planned.
During ,the press conference Governor Kirk announced that he was no longer the favorite on in Florida. He said that he thought Rockefeller could win in November, but questioned whether Rockefeller could get the nomination. However, Kirk said that he would work to get Rockefeller the nomination.
Asked whether he would consider Kirk a vice-presidential candidate, Rockefeller said:
"I think Governor Kirk is one of the leading, young, dynamic
Republicans in the party; that this country is looking to youth, and I think that he is an eligible candidate for the vice-presidency.”
Asked whether there was any sort of understanding between him and Governor Kirk, he said:
“Thee is no quote deal unquote that has been made. We are working together for a common cause — it’s premature at the present time to try and see how the situation will shape up on August 5 or at the Convention in this great city. It is oply 4Vi weeks, but a lot of water is going to be going over the dam between now and then.”

USG To Aid Disadvantaged
Because of the interest of members of the Undergraduate Student Body of the University of Miami, 25 graduates of the Upward Bound program who will enter the university this fall have been assured total support, including tutorial services, through a grant of $24,900 from the Rockefeller Foundation.
Total cost of the program, for tuition, fees, books, room and board, and personal expenses will be $85,850. The Rockefeller Foundation grant covers the gap between this sum and $58,950 available from combined University and federal funds.
The proposal to the Rockefeller Foundation was initiated by members of the Undergraduate Student Government.
Chairman of the USG project committee is Wayne Silver of Coral Gables, a senior member of UM’s Debate Team and a phil’ osophy major.
“We realize that adversity, is a crippler of confidence and opportunity. In a society plagued with racial discrimination and large-scale economic inequity, adversity is often imposed rather than self-engendered. The result is a circle of frustration, ignorance and family breakdown, perpetuating itself from generation to generation.
“We cannot sit idly by and allow this tide to run its course. We, therefore, dedicate ourselves to the use of every possible means to provide college level instruction for worthy students at the
University of Miami,” Silver said.
Tutoring will be an integral part of the student project, with ten tutors working 100 hours per semester. Under the program, saidems will enroll for 12 credits amd each will receive two hours of tutoring weekly for each of his four courses. Tutoring will be in groups of three students and the sessions will be mandatory.
Tutors will be chosen from applicants who have earned an A average in at least 9 to 12 hours in the appropriate subject area. In addition, recommendations of at least two faculty members will be required as to the character of the tutor applicant.
Faculty members will also be involved in the project as counselors on a voluntary basis.
Julius Caesar Runs July 16-21
Shakespeare’s great political epic, “Julius Caesar”, will be the second production of the 1968 season for the University of Miami Southern Shakespeare Repertory Theatre at the Coconut Grove Playhouse. The production opened on July 16 and continues until July 21 with 8:30 p.m. curtains nightly.
In this production, which contains a number of memorable
quotations, Mina E. Mina will be seen as the successful and overconfident Julius Caesar. Richard Greene, Don Hayes and Charles Anatra will be seen as Brutus, Cassius and Casca respectively, conspirators against Caesar.
Don Hayes, a graduate student at the University of Georgia, has studied both at the Richmond Professional Institute and the London Academy of Music and
Art. At the London Academy he appeared in “Julius Caesar” and “The S e a g u 11”. He has also worked at the Front Street Theatre, Wedgewood Theatre and the Cavalier Playhouse
Richard Greene this past season was a member of the Hilberry Classic Repertory Theatre in Detroit, Michigan where he played Oberon in “Enrico IV” and Lau-bardemunt in “The Devils”. He has been here for the past two summers in the Festival.
Gavin Whitsett will be seen as the clever and rabble-rousing Mark Antony, who defends Caesar even after his death and delivers one of the many well-remembered and often quoted lines from this play
Gavin Whitsett is a Junior at the University of Miami. He played the Public Gar in the Ring Theatre production of “Philadelphia, Here I Come”. He has also worked at the Actor’s Theatre in Louisville, Kentucky and the Cherry County Playhouse in Michigan.
This play, which develops some of the world’s immortal plottings, has many modern politico-social implications which over the years enthralled all audiences.
Staging this psychological melodrama will be John Arnold, a favorite of Festival audiences for many years as an actor.
Gordon Bennett has designed the set for the production and Roberta Baker has designed the costumes.
Tickets for Jufius Caesar are now on sale at the Coconut Grove Playhouse or by calling 448-2581.
Caesar's assassination shows Mina E. Mina, playing Julius Caesar, about to be knifed in the University of Miami Southern Shakespeare Repertory Theater's production of “Julius Caesar” running Tuesday through Sunday at the Coconut Grove Playhouse.

UM Medical School
Establishes Health Center
University of Miami School of Medicine physicians and countywide medical and dental organizations have put together a Family Health Center to serve the residents of the Brownsville-Liberty City areas.
It’s a grass roots project with the people of the community playing a role in policy-making. The residents had a paint-up, fix-up program which rehabilitated the former Dade County Health Department facility at NW 27th Avenue and 62nd Street.
The Health Center has been open three weeks in its temporary, frame-structured headquarters. It is open 80 hours
Sandy Levy Joins The Peace Corps
Stanford M Levy nicked named Sandy is going to serve with the Peace Corp. in the Dominican Republic. Sandy is a June graduate from ihc University of Miami.
The hurricane does not have the sp- ce to show what every graduate is going to do. But in an exception. The reason for this this case we are going to make is that Sandy is one of us. For the last few years he has served as a photographer for the paper and the Ibis. He is also a good friend of ours.
Therefore, we wish Sandy the best of luck in the next few years.
a week, from 9 a.m to 9 p.m., and ultimately will be staffed by 13 physicians and 100 employees drawn mainly from local residents.
The Family Health Center — one of 40 such centers being activated throughout the country— operates with federal funds supplied by the Office of Economic Oppirtunities (OEO).
Dr. Lynn Carmichael, director of the medical school’s Family Medicine Program, supervises the project on a part-time basis and the professional staff is composed of other faculty members.
"I think it’s coming along real well. I’m hopeful that if we are successful here, we can open up similar centers in the Coconut Grove and Goulds-Perrine areas,” Dr. Carmichael said.
Dr. George A. Simpson serves as medical director. A practicing surgeon in the area for the past 10 years, he has given up the major portion of his practice to concentrate on the program.
“At the Family Health Center we try to meet not only the demands but the needs as well,” Dr. Carmichael stressed.
If a patient comes in with bronchitis, for example, the illness will be treated but the patient will also be given a cancer smear and a tuberculosis test.
UM Prof Tours USSR
Professor Behram Kursunoglu, Director of the University of Miami Center For Theoretical Studies, left Friday (7-12-69) for a two week trip to the U.S.S.R. where he will be a guest of the Soviet Academy of Sciences.
Professor Kursunoglu was invited last spring by Professor N. Bogolubov, Director of the Joint Institute for Nuclear Research, Dubna, to lecture on his work and to visit the facility, which is the major high energy research institution in the Soviet Union.
While visiting in Dubna, Professor Kursunoglu will deliver three lectures on “A Dynamical Theory of Hadrons and Leptons,” which is a theory that predicts the attributes of the elementary particles, and two lectures on "Applications of the Theory of Brownian Movement to Problems of Diffusion in Thermonuclean Plasmas.”
In addition to Dubna, he will also visit the new 70 Bev proton synchroton at Serpukhov, currently the largest particle accelerator in the world. Both Dubna and Serpukhov are located in the suburbs of Moscow.
