year hasn’t been a trying one for our organization.”

future plans to fulfill these goals, she said that she will not be able to make any definite plans until next year’s committees are chosen later in the spring.

Council Acts To Include USG Interest Groups:
Fee
The USG Council acted yesterday on ’legislation to include the fodr special interest groups in the proposed, and recently defeated constitution. Dennis Richard, USG president, introduced the amendment.
Richard stated that "The students have spoken. When they defeated the constitution, they expressed their belief that these groups should be included.”
“A mandate,” he continued, “has been delivered to the government, and the council has failed to follow through on their wishes.”
Richard felt that if the council did not take the init-
Is It’s
iative to comply with t h e students’ wishes, it was his responsibility to do so.
He continued to state that he wished to "fight the trend to make USG just another organization. With the four new groups on the council, it will truly echo the views of a total campus.”
Richard stated that he felt that the new innovations of the governmental structure, such as the newly proposed Superior Court and the Student Bill of Rights, had already taken steps in this direction.
According to Richard, “I have watched this constitution evolve for the past three
Their
years, since it was proposed in Jim Flemming's Council."
“I want,” he continued, "to see it carried to its fruition, according to the wishes of the student body, as they have been expressed in the constitutional referendum If the students want the special interests groups on the council, then they must be met in their desires.”
The groups were not included in the newly propose d constitution with the idea in mind, according to Richard, that they could always he included later, if the students on the council expressed such a desire.
The constitution then
Duty
failed to pass a referendum, and it was returned to the council. At this time, Richard informed the council that the groups should be included before the constitution could pass. "No action," according to Richard, "came from the council.”
1 he legislation came close on the tail of other legislation concerning the Superior Court, Student Rights and the abolition of the Board of Review. Also on the agenda of Monday’s meeting was the seating and ratification of three members of the council, filling vacancies among the senior and junior class representatives.

Pop Leader Andy Warhol Presents Film 6Four Star;
Reporter Ousted From Dinner
By STEVE FRIEDHEIM
Hurricont Buuneis Mtntttr
Walt Disney’s "Wonderful World of Color” it wasn’t. With all seats taken and the walls lined with people, Warhol and his assistants, Paul Morrissey and Viva Hoffman, showed a 2 hour portion of a d a y-long movie entitled “x x x x” (four star). The film contained many fragmented thoughts which were received in different ways by the audience.
The film contained segmented events simultaneously superimposed upon each other in free form. By his own admittance with a mind-resounding “yes”, Andy Warhol tries to say nothing.
Technically the film was excellent in its effective use of color, irregular sequence of scenes, and sporadic use of sound. The audience reacted with laughter at the use of phallic symbolism, moaned with bewilderment at the train of semi-conscious thought that was difficult to follow, and remained completely silent during the "love" scenes.
The film contained a style similar to the one used by James Joyce in Portrait of the Artist as a Young Man. Through the use of sensory perception the artist portrays his reality. The scenes^ in
"xxxx" were the world Andy Warhol knows best.
Is Andy Warhol a put-on? Andy Warhol does not care what the audience thinks, there is no conscious attempt to impress or fool anyone. He appears to live his life in a style that is custom-built to no one other than Andy Warhol. He is sensitive, yet sensible. He does not care what you think of the film, but he wants you to come see it. He was on the second floor of the university Union because he was paid to be; there was no pretense about it
The lights flickered and the many colors appeared, but this is where the resemblance to Walt Disney ends. Walt Disney transposes his audience to fantasy, Warhol removes the fantasy and all that remains is his reality. The "Peter Pan of the Art World” lives up to his name solely by being high-flung.

Doug McIntosh, Hurricane film critic, was forcibly thrown out of an interview with underground moviemaker Andy Warhol Saturday night by members of the Whitten Union Program Council McIntosh was ejected from the room as the result of an exchange which began with his question, "Warhol, how do you feel
about your role as the spokesman for New York homosexuality?”
McIntosh protested when Viva, Warhol's female traveling companion, and Paul Morrissey, his male traveling companion and business manager, answered in Warhol’s stead.
David Ferguson, Hurricane columnist, asked Warhol how he felt about the drug scene in New York. "Drugs have always been a West Coast phenomenon,” replied Warhol. "People drink in New York."
"W hat we’re hearing now," said McIntosh, "is known as a Put On.”
This remark led to the climactic exchange of insults between the Hurricane staffers and Warhol’s associates.
“You make me nauseous,” said Viva to McIntosh.
"Is that what produced your exterior?” replied the critic.
At this point Kathy Horne protested McIntosh’s "rudeness" while three male guests seized his arms.
McIntosh protested that the whole purpose of his questioning was to begin a meaningful dialogue. “Throw him out! Throw him out!” shouted Viva.
don’t have the time to
waste with you people anyway,” McIntosh remarked as he was ushered to the door. This comment parodied an earlier remark by Warhol about the time he wasted on lecture tours, McIntosh explained later.
Horne explained to the Hurricane her fear that Warhol would become too upset to present his film program. “I feel sure this would have happened,” she said, “if McIntosh had remained in the room much longer.”
"There was nothing in the incident for anyone to be proud of," commented McIntosh later. “It simply made me sick that these kids were sitting there bug-eyed and hanging on the words of the great celebrity. Letting somebody get away with being a fraud makes me angrier than the fakery itself.”
"Actually," continued McIntosh, “I rather enjoyed the collision with these freaks. I regret that Miss Horne lacked the intellectual sensitivity to let the argument continue."
David Ferguson walked out of the meeting in sympathy. "I was offended that they didn't throw me out too.” said Ferguson. “It seems that the Program Council has a personal vendetta against Doug on account of his recent articles attacking th^r taste.”
Budget Cut Sets Lab Completion Back One Year
By JIM SI ROTHMAN Aitoclated Pratt Writer
MIAMI — (AP) — Budget cuts have set back at least one year completion of the main research facility here for the Environmental Science Service Administration’s Atlantic Oceanographic Laboratories.

Viet Nam Peace Talk At Wesley
J

Hurrlcana Statf Wrllar
A group of unaffiliated "individuals" dedicated to ending the war in Viet Nam will meet Tuesday, March 12, at 7 p.m. at the Wesley Foundation.
"We don't need a name, because our basic idea Is just that anyone who is interested in ending the war or the draft should do whatever he considers necessary, from a moral standpoint," explained Bert Godkin, one of the individuals in question.
"We want a minimum of organization,” continued Skip Johnson, another of the group's members. "Organization breeds followers, and we don’t want followers. We want people who will do something. If one individual wants to go out and picket the draft board, then it's up to him to do it. We don't want an administration that will say, ‘All right, now we’re all going out to picket the draft board.’ ”
“The most important thing is for the individual to do what he thinks is necessary," he went on. "But it has to be a group of individuals, not a crowd. That's why we must have some small degree of organization.”
“I guess the best way to describe it is 'Everybody do their own thing,’" he concluded.	.
Harris B. Stewart, laboratories director.
With no funds included in t h e President’s proposed budget for fiscal 1969, starting this July I, "obviously now, it will he at least January of 1971" before the S3 million ocean research complex can be used, he said.
"It means things will have to continue at a curtailed level. We have no space for laboratories. We’ll just have to continue along in crowded, temporary quarters. It also curtails our ability to attract leading scientists. ESSA’s future activities in the ocean are held up," Stewart observed in an interview.
The facility, to include laboratories and office space on a 12-acre site at Virginia Key with a port for research ships at nearby Dodge Island, is rxpected to employ about 300 persons with an annual payroll of $3.5 million, including personnel working on the ships About 40 researchers now work in the Atlantic Oceanographic Laboratories temporary quarters in Miami.
The Commerce Department selected Miami over 114 other bidders last April and announced the new facility will centralize three Commerce Department research groups — the Marine Geology and Geophysics Laboratory, the Physical Oceanographic Laboratory and Sea-Air Interaction Laboratory which is interested in the ocean’s influence on weather.
The Virginia Key building is expected to include laboratories to analyze water and sediment samples, an instrumented roof for sea-air studies, library to store resea r c h data, conference rooms, an auditorium for public ocean-oriented meetings and space for resident and visiting scientists.
John H. Kofoed, Assistant to Stewart, said ESSA hopes to develop a "community” concept and share facilities with ocean scientists working at agencies such as the nearby University of Miami Institute of Marine Sciences, Interior Department s Tropical Atlantic Biological Laboratory and Miami Seaquari-urn.
