some 200 years ago. On that basis, Long said he could see no reason for a refusal to provide courses in “the black man’s contribution to history and his relation to the white man's history.”
Following a short prepared speech by vice-president Harold Fields, Long opened the meeting to any questions from either students, admin-
istration, faculty, or Ku Klux Klan."
A lengthy question-answer session extended from 1:00 to 2:15, with some 200 students and newsmen attending the rally at peak periods.
Long refused to comment on future UBS plans, and only smiled when onlookers suggested that “Henry Stanford lives in an ivory tower;
let’s burn that tower down.” Some 12 UBS members waved large signs during the rally, and a few white supporters joined the Negro students on their side of the crowd.
“The UBS has something to say, and something to say now," he said “If you can’t keep quiet, please move out of the area."
Long later said that the indoor site kept the rally from being as effective as he had hoped, and that many students told him they thought the rally had been canceled because of the rain.
UM’s fledgling UBS staged its first public rally Friday, when some two dozen members gathered in the Lower-lounge of the student union.
Originally scheduled for the “Rock” in front of the Union, the rally was moved indoors after rains began, and started at 12 noon in the southwest corner of the Un-i o n, immediately dubbed “Freedom Corner."
The rally was opened by UBS treasurer George Battles, who turned it over to Parlimentarian Wilbur Johnson. Johnson complained about the lack of Negro and Afro-A m e r i c a n- oriented courses at UM. and charged that campus security police were being unnecessarily rough with Negro students.
“The police have stopped Negro students and frisked them simply because they were Negro; they made that clear in the conversation,” he said.
UBS president Harold Long followed Johnson, reading a prepared statement calling for immediate action by UM in response to the demands presented UM President Henry King Stanford May 2.
“We presently have segregated courses of study,” he charged. “Don’t talk to me about segregation statements until you eliminate them from your curriculum.”
Long said that a Negro was the first man to die in the Civil War, that a Negro was among the first colonists ashore, and Negroes also voiced disapproval of “taxation without representation”

UBS President Harold Long was contacted by the Hurricane following his organization’s rally Friday afternoon and gave his views of the rally’s effectiveness.
Long said the rally was more effective than he thought.
“It really developed into somewhat of a meaningful dialogue which gave us some kind of indication whether we have campus-wide support,” he said.
Judging from the reaction to the rally, Long said he feels there is a definite amount of support for his group and their objectives.
“I think there is enough support to help us. The support is just about what we thought it would be.”
Long complained that a meeting between U^S and UM President Henry King Stanford last Saturday fell through.

meeting with him but we were rather informed at the rally that he wanted to meet with us.”
Long said A r m i n H. Gropp, Vice President for Academic Affairs, contacted him at the rally and informed him that Stanford wanted to meet with UBS representatives Saturday.
Neither side had changed their thinking since the preceding day. Long said, and “there was really no sense in wasting both of our times.”
The UBS executive declined to mention future UBS plans. He termed press coverage “objective” and fairly accurate in reporting what happened.

Pike Blasts
Kersta Lectures On His Creation

“This medallion is rather unique among religious objects," says Bishop James A. Pike, fingering the brass combination cross and peace symbol hanging around his neck. “Made in Haight-Ash-bury and blessed by the Archbishop of Canterbury.”
Each one of the three elements, the cross, the peace symbol and the brass form an intricate part of an evening with Bishop Pike.
A Bishop of the Episcopal Church, or as Pike refers to himself and his clerical regalia, one of the “purple p e o p 1 e,” the iconoclastic churchman spoke at Temple Judea Saturday evening.
The congregation’s rabbi set the tone of the evening with his opening meditation. He asked the 300 people in the audience to be "empha-thetic with the blackskinned, the poor and those who are sent to fight a people who have done us no harm.”
Bishop Pike lost no time in picking up the tempo of the rabbi’s theme. He said he had just come from California where he had made a campaign speech for Senator Eugene McCarthy, sharing the rostrum with the Senator’s daughter, whom he described as a “cute trick.”
Comparing Jesus’ triumphant entry into Jerusalem and sustained immunity from the Roman garrison with the Viet Cong Tet Offensive in Saigon, Pike claimed that Jesus was “one of the more significant members of the Jewish Resistance.”
“The Sauducees who sold out Jesus to the Romans were Jews. Of course they were Jews. But they were a tiny minority. The same type of tiny minority who are always willing to sell out their own people . . . Just like the Vichy, the Quislings, the Collaborationists. Like Diem and like Ky . . . The same Ky who. just after the fall of Dienbienphu, signed up to fight Algierians for the French, for money, just as he bad been fighting his own people, the Vietnamese."
Pike likes to classify himself as a ’’reductionist” theologian. That is, he is “for fewer beliefs, more believe.
Explaining the difference beIVveen his religioi/f philos-
ophy and that of the “death of God” men, whom he calls the “necrotheologians,” Pike says that they believe that God is dead while theology is yet alive, while he believes that God is alive and theology dead.
The Bishop often uses expressions and characterizations in his asides which might, if used by any other layman much less clergyman, be called irreverent. Different denominations were once during the evening referred to as “different flavors.” Canon Law was described as the “bad side of the good news.’ ”
Pike has, in fact, been charged with heresy several times, once by a Florida Bishop. He covered one of the most significant theological controversies in American history Saturday night with the comment, “By the way, that business is all straightened out.”
The former lawyer, naval officer, Secutiries and Exchange Commission member and Columbia University Chaplain called for an end to theological "double entry bookkeeping" several times during the evening.
He also touched on the subject of spiritualism and a new book he is completing on Christian Origins.

Voiceprints Used In Law Enforcement For Good
June

Dr. Larry Kersta, inventor of voiceprints, spoke here last week, relating several of his experiences with the novel method of identification.
Kersta added a third dimension to an existing system of voiceprints in the early Fifties, creating an almost foolproof method of identifying human voices.
He explained that the prints are made from standard magnetic tapes which are channeled through a Spectrograph that breaks the inflections down into lines on a revolving graph, much like a lie detector.
Kersta works closely with law enforcement officials in the U.S. and Europe, and has
solved numerous crimes where the criminal’s voice was recorded.
The first example of the voiceprint’s accuracy came several years ago when Connecticut police, as a last resort, contacted Kersta to analyze the voice of a man suspected of making threatening telephone calls to an executive. The inventor tested the accused man’s voice, compared it to recordings made by the police phone tap, and declared the man innocent. The subsequent arrest of two men proved Kersta right, after he correctly picked the two from a group of five voices sent by the Connecticut police.
The middle-aged expert faced opposition from criminal courts early in the voice-print’s history, as it had taken some 16 years to legal-
McCarthy's Students Plan For Primary
By MELANI VAN PETTEN
Hurricane Staff Writer
The “UM Students for McCarthy” are staging an all-out campaign to assure McCarthy of victory in the May 28 Florida Democratic Primary.
Their efforts began on April 13 with a trip to all the large shopping areas in Dade County, passing out printed information and conversing with shoppers.
The students, following their motto of “Clean for Gene,” make a special effort to appear neat and well-dressed, with haircuts and without beards. They feel that a neat, well-groomed student following will help McCarthy’s image with the voters.
A second assault was planned for Saturday, May 11, when the McCarthy supporters campaigned door-to-door in areas which cnuld not be reached by telepltme.
On Wednesday, May 15, a debate will be held in the Flamingo Ball Room at 8 p.m. Students representing McCarthy, Nixon, Rockefeller, Kennedy, and Humphrey will speak. The debate will be co-sponsored by UM Students for McCarthy, the Young Republicans, and the Young Democrats.
A poll of student opinion will be taken May 16 by a mock presidential election. All students will be encouraged to vote.
On Friday, May 17, Senator McCarthy will be coming to Miami, and plans are being made for interested students to meet him at the airport. It is not known at this time whether or not he will be coming to the UM campus.
Door-to-door campaigning will continue from May 18 until the primary on May 28.
ize fingerprints as testimony in a court of law. Unfortunately lor Kersta, the accused men in each case he handled admitted their guilt after being confronted with the voiceprint evidence, and their cases never reached the court.
The first court test of the technique resulted in a conviction of the accused person, and the voiceprint is now generally admitted as evidence in most states.
A few years ago, a com-m e r c i a 1 airliner crashed while en route to Los Angeles from Las Vegas. Controllers at the airport receiving the plane’s transmissions claimed they heard the pilot scream, “My God, I’ve been shot,” but police were unable to verify it positively by the tape recording.
Kersta once again entered the scene, and ran extensive tests on the recording. After dozens of failures, he was able to determine that the co-pilot had done the talking, and that both he and the pilot had been fatally shot by
a passenger who had lost heavily in Las Vegas. The recorded sentence was the last uttered by the dying co-pilot as the plane began a dive toward the ground.
Kersta is now working on the application of voiceprints to the sound of a human heart, and still operates his own business, Voiceprint Associates.

The death of University College has been announced for June 6, 1968, following the findings of a special committee which was appointed to determine if it had outlived its usefulness.
The Dean of University College, Dr. Frankin Williams, fought the disbanding of UC, and feels that some students will be hurt by its destruction. “The disestablishment of University College was without adequate examination of budget and without certainty that the substitute program will cover the ground as well,” he said.
With the disbanding of University College (UC), the individual student will be allowed to choose from a list of varied courses to fulfill his degree requirements.
In the humanities division of the College of Arts and Sciences, the student will still be required to maintain the 12-24 credit hours in humanities, with the exception that after the completion of humanities and composition, the student may choose the remaining required 6 credits from literature, history of art, art, drama, and philosophy.
The UC courses of natural science 101-102 have been turned over to the physics department and relabled “physical science 101-102”. Natural science 201-202 are the responsibility of the biology department and renamed "biology 105-106.”
Students are still required to take social science 101-102, which have been relabled “history 101-102”. Social science 201-202 have become interdepartmental history courses.
The counseling of students, with a declared major, will be offered by the individual colleges. For the students without a declared major, the counseling will be given by the office of General Students, a division of the Col-lege of Arts and Science.
There is a bulletin in preparation which will have the new requirements fully out-j lined.	I'
