Requests
By CRAIG PETERSON
Hurricane News Editor
The United Black Students of UM have presented President Henry King Stanford a document listing ten requests to be acted upon by the administration.
The document, called "Program Objectives of Priority to be Submitted and Acted Upon by the University of Miami Administration,” contained provisions for recruitment of Negro students, 200 scholarships to Negro applicants, courses in Afro-American culture and background plus several others.
Stanford said “we had a very frank exchange of views and I agreed to give consideration to these requests.”
He admitted that many of the proposals "have rather serious financial implications” and several others would be techically impossible.

Other sections of the document include requests for a racially - balanced Security Force, a minimum percentage of Negro students attending UM, Negro speakers, more Negro faculty members and dozens of additional courses.
UBS official Harold Long expressed optimism after his first meeting with Stanford, and said the requests are essential if the university ever plans to attract other Negroes or retain its present small percentage.

Late last week, two men students were "accidentally" shot at in the apartment area of the main campus. The weapon was identified as a C02 power pellet pistol, .22 caliber, by one of the students.
The two were standing in front of Apartment 41 between 5:30 and 6 p.m., when an object shot from a gun whizzed by them, 6 to 12 inches away. “I could feel it as it went by my ear,” claimed one of the students.
"I lookea up immediately,” he continued, “and I saw this kid sitting in the apartment across the street, holding a pellet gun. Then another one came out and was shooting across the buildings."
One of the students called the Campus Security Police, who in turn called in the Coral Gables Police. “The Campus Police came and surrounded the building, then a Coral Gables police unit arrived and the Coral Gabies cop went up to investigate.”
When first called, the Campus Security Police and the Coral Gables Police informed the Hurricane that they had no information regarding any such incident. Upon calling the Coral Gables Police again the next day, it was learned that the incident had been recorded and would be available to the Hurricane for one dollar, although the report is a public document.
The students who had possession of the guns, claimed that they had been shooting at birds in front of the apartment and had not seen the two men standing in the line of fire. Later that day, they apologized to their “victims."
The Hurricane was informed by the Dean of Men’s Office that the university had received a small report from the Coral Gables Police Department, which h ad mentioned no names. The Hurricane gave its information to the Dean of Men’s Office, which plans to investigate.

Wallace III With Intestinal Upset
MONTGOMERY, ALA. — (AP) — Gov. l.urleen Wallace suffered another serious setback Monday in her fight against the after-effects of cancer. Dorctors said she may have another abdominal abscess.
The 41-year-old Mrs. Wallace, only woman governor in the nation, remained at the executive mansion. But her doctors said she may return to St. Margaret’s Hospital "on an outpatient basis for further studies."
Her acting news secretary, Ed Ewing, said the doctors found the governor suffering from an intestinal upset which has “symptoms of a possible abdominal abscess."
Three times since January, 1966. Mrs. Wallace has undergone surgery for cancer, the last time on Feb. 22 of this year when surgeons removed a small tumor from the pelvic wall and also took out part of the bowel.
The first cancer surgery was performed one month before the former Clayton, Ala., housewife became a candidate for governor to succeed her husband, George. Doctors at that time said ther was no remaining sign of malignancy.
Howevr, another tumor appeared last year and the governor went to the M. D. Anderson Hospital and Tumor Institute at Houston. Tex., for a second cancer operation.
She was taken to the Montgomery hospital in an ambulance Fb. 22 this year because of an intestinal stoppage. Her doctors said a third tumor, previously diagnosed as cancerous, had been destroyed by radiation treatments.
North Vietnamese 6An Inspiration’
TOKYO — (AP) — North Vietnam said Monday an American professor visiting Hanoi described the Vietnamese Communists as "an inspiration” to Americans.
The official Vietnam news agency said Prof Robert Greenblatt of Cornell University told the Central Committe of the Vietnam Fatherland Front:
“The American revolution is still a long way off. We have many long years of bitter struggle and hard work ahead of us, but we want you to know that your revolution and your victory over aggression is helping us, it is an inspiration for us."
VNA said the meeting was also attended by American Writer Susan Sontag and Andrew Kopkind of the New Republic Magazine. The meting was held to congratulate Americans for launching a “spring offensive" to oppose U.S. action in Vietnam.
VNA gave this account of Greenblatt’s remarks:
He said the Vietnam war showed that "if the will of a people is strong enough then it can defat any colonial power or imperialist aggressor no matter how formidable.”
“This lesson must he learned quickly by the oppressed and exploited peoples of the world," he added.
Greenblatt said “many” Americans have “discovered for the first time that the American people aer themselves not free and independent."

Hurricane Staff Writ**
In retrospect, the revolution at Duke was precisely that — a revolution. To date, irrevocable changes have come about within the university community'.
—	Wages have been raised, and will continue to be raised for non academic employees;
—	The Special Committee of the Board of Trustees, in all likelihood, approve a working agreement which embodies the principles of collective bargaining;
—	The faculty, for the first time aware of its powerlessness in a crisis, has assumed prerogatives and initiatives which it will be unwilling to relinquish;
—	Graduate students, heretofore unorganized and uninterested, have organized an activist Graduate Student Association;
—	The president of the university, Douglas Knight, is officially “out of the state," ostensibly t o recuperate; rumors persist on all levels, however, indicating that he will not be returning to the campus as university president.
—	The Vigil Strategy Committee has organized a permanent skeletal structure in the event that the Board of Trustees might renege on their agreements.
—	Hundreds of previously uninterested, uninvolved Duke students and faculty have been “radicalized” in the contemporary sense of the term;

Despite the classic nature of the origin and development of the revolution at Duke, much about it was indigenous to the campus.
For instance, dress for the initial march and sit in at President Knight’s home required, by consensus of the demonstrators, jackets and ties.
While camping on the main quadrangle, regular poetry readings and religious services formed an intricate part of the Vigil’s program and basic attitude.
The Vigil’s leadership never included what the news media called "rabble rous-ers”. And while the student government establishment on the whole was committed to the Vigil from its inception, the Vigil’s leadership was composed of leading students rather than student leaders.
The three who made this revolution, the three individuals, were perhaps most indicative of the combination of scholarship and militance which permeated the leadership of the Vigil.
Two of the trio were students, in all senses of the classification. Jack Boger. a soft spoken southerner and religion major, argued tenaciously with every official from the President on down — using Niehburian logic of which he is a master. Reasoning scholarly he argued against the unconscious am-morality of institutions.
Complimenting Boger was Bunny Small, a tough talking, no nonsense service brat and political science major. Having no personal use for Boger’s prosaic analogies, she put at ease those among the Vigil yho felt the leadership might be fooled or
Student Publications, for the names of the candidates, Hicks flatly refused, saying that any effort of the Hurricane to find out this information would be “another one of Mr. Mans’ mistakes."
Dr. John McCollum, head of the Board of Publications, could not be reached to override Hicks’ decision.
Three Parts
tempted to well out to the Administration.
Dr. Strange, a brilliant young political science professor. community worker and allumnus of Duke, provided a pragmatic militance born out of years of experience. As an undergraduate at Duke he was a student leader (before doing graduate work at Princeton) and as the Vigil began, he divided his time between teaching and antipoverty work.

The revolution at Duke is hy no means complete; Everyone, students, faculty, workers, administrators and the remainder of the Board of Trustees await the final report of the Special Committee. If they present, an equitable arrangement, revolution will be over. Maybe. If the solution is not equitahle, the revolution will not he over for certain.
In any case, Duke University will never he the same.

Continuing a "tradition” inaugurated by Yale President Kingman Brewster, three Duke University students declined invitations to join Duke University’s highest honorary and secret society.
(A s an undeigraduate, Brewster refused to respond to membership in Skull ’n Bones, one of the most exclusive secret societies).
The three students refused to respond to the taps on the basis of principles, they stated. They were opposed to the concept and selection procedures of secret societies.

The three, R Alan Ray, Reed Cramer and Robert Creamer are Editor-elect of the campus newspaper. President-elect of the YMCA and Vigil coordinator, respectively-
The out-going Red Friars, who consider their successors as a committee of the whole, met again and tapped three other students who accepted their invitations.
Red Friars have been compared with the UM honorary. Iron Arrow, by students familiar with both universities.

According to the Housing Office, all outgoing long distance service will be discontinued after midnight. May 15th. Discontinuance of this service will not affect incoming long distance calls or any local calls. However, no
