-The Inside Story
What They Are Saying .   .
"More than 950 UM students will join 264,000 young men
and women from colleges throughout the country when they
walk down the aisles of Dinner Key Auditorium June 6 and
step out into a world of hope," writes Marty Cohen, Hurricane
editor. See Debris on Paqe 4.
"Non-business majors who want graduate work in business
may take special graduate courses for beginners, instead of
beginning courses in freshman classes as they do now," says
Dr. Riis Owre, dean of the Graduate School, referring to a
new program that will enable non-business majors to get a
Master of Business Administration degree. See story on
Page 6.
"I have a silver coin good for five cents at the Kanawha
Hotel," says Everett W. Liner, chief of the Auxiliary Department. See story on Page 10.
"A hungry grid squad will face the roughest schedule in
Miami history next year, but the players can already taste
the sugar in New Orleans around New Year's time," says
Seymour Beubis. See Sports Squalls on Page 11.
"Established research techniques are followed to make the
panel as scientific an operation as possible," says Charles
Wurst. Student Panel coordinator. See story on Page 6.
"Final examinations for the Spring Semester begin Wednesday and the UM is threatened once again with another
period of exam stealing, cheating on tests and the passing of
crib notes." See editorial on Page 4.
"I would like to add my sentiments to the recent deluge of
articles concerning our local law enforcement agency," writes
a graduate. See letters to the editor on Page 4.
