              New	University Lands	Site
A site for Dade County’s first state-supported university was endorsed Tuesday by County Manager Porter Homer.
The site would involve a unique land-swap deal, with both Dade County and Interama contributing, and each benefiting Tom the result.
Dade would contribute $1 million for 50 acres of undeveloped land in northeast Dade, owned by Interama. The funds would be covered by the recent increase in cigarette taxes.
In turn, Interama would give the county some 25 additional acres, valued at $1 million.
An option for 400 more acres for future expansion would be a part of the package.
Homer said the State Board of Regents forecasts an enrollment of 50,000 students by 1980.
“ . . . it is apparent that the reasons for selecting the Interama site are even more persuasive than originally thought,” he said.
Three ‘‘community objectives” provide the attractiveness:
The payment of $1 million to Interama will keep the organization solvent and will provide an alternative to the sale of its assets in land.
Double uses of numerous facilities, including a cultural center, concert hall, athletic fields, and parking areas.
Development of academic programs through the university emphasizing Latin-American relations
which could “help attract business and industry to the entire Dade County area.”
Pending approval by the County Commission and endorsement by the State Board of Regents, the university would be the first large development program at Interama.
The Board is expected to review' the Dade-Intera-ma proposal in their April 1 meeting.
One possible danger to the proposal is a $500,000 lien on the 75 acres held by the City of Miami.

The second, establishing membership requirements and powers for the Court and including provisions for a Parking Authority and Traditions Court, was also passed by an 11 -3 vote.
LOS ANGELES — (AP) — U. S. Sen. Robert F. Kennedy, (D., N.Y.), will announce on Monday his candidacy for the Democratic presidential nomination, the Herald-Examiner i said today.
The report from the paper’s political editor in Sacramento, Phil Hanna, added that Democrat Jesse M. Unruh, speaker j of the California Assembly, will head a Kennedy delegation in the state’s June 4 primary election.
Unruh told a news conference Wednesday that he had urgei '"ennedy to become a candidate but he said nothing about heading a delegation.
The Herald-Examiner gave no source for its information, saying only it had learned that Kennedy would announce.
Unruh is generally regarded as the state’s most powerful Democrat, and political observers have speculated that he might try to wrest the governorship from Republican Ronald Reagan in 1970.
Kennedy R Onld Split N. Jersey
TRENTON, N.J. — (AP) Gov. Richard J. Hughes said today the Democratic party in New Jersey would be faced with a “disruptive split” if U.S. Sen. Robert F. Kennedy, (D., N.Y.), enters the race for the presidential nomination.
Hughes, a staunch sulpporter of President Johnson, said he would support the President in any primary battle and would expect leaders of the state organization to do the same.
But he added. “We'd have plenty of difficulty in a primary fight.”
McCarthy W onld Ran Against RFK
WASHINGTON — (AP) — Sen. Eugene J. McCarthy said today that if Sen. Robert F. Kennedy enters the Democratic presidential race, the action might divide opponents of the Vietnam war and help toward renominating President John-
U S G President Dennis Richard said he feels the amendments will provide a far superior system than the Board of Review, which he calls “a mockery of our governmental system.”
Both measures were changed before passage Curfew-violation trials were deleted from the first bill, and the number of Associate Justices was increased from six to 18 in the second measure. The latter was included after several Council members protested that only six Court Justices would be unable to handle the volume of cases.
Both amendments must still be passed by two thirds at another session and appear in the Hurricane in compliance with the amendment procedure.
A lengthy debate over the legality of Election Boards ended with the Council approving a hill to form an Elections Commissions in its place. The hill was passed over the objections of Dr. ‘Doc’ Adams, Director of Student Activities.

McCarthy, fresh from a strong showing in New Hampshire's primary Tuesday, insisted he is in the race to stay and has no plan to step aside for Kennedy. Both oppose the administration’s Vietnam policy.
As if to emphasize his determination, McCarthy an-nouced he is entering the May 7 Indiana and June 4 South Dakota primaries.
Ford Opposes Civil Rights Rill
WASHINGTON — (AP) — House Republican leader Gerald Ford, of Michigan, said today he would oppose the
Democratic leadership's effort to win House passage of the Senate civil rights bill without change.
Ford said he favored a conference between the House and Senate to arrive at a compromise open housing provision for the bill.
His position, announced at a news conference, placed a tough obstacle in the way of the Democratic leaders’ plans.
Speaker John McCormack, (D., Mass.), said Wednesday night he hoped about 75 Representatives would support the move to send the bill to the White House as it now stands. Without substantial Republican support the effort cannot succeed.
Senate l rged to Act on Gold
WASHINGTON — (AP) — The Senate was urged today to pass quickly a bill to remove the gold cover on the nation’s
currency as one means of curbing the stampede of gold buying in Europe.
Enactment of the House-passed bill would free more than $10 billion of gold reserves to meet demands o’ dollar holders ^abroad and support the U.S. pledge to maintain a price of $35 an ounce for goldF	V
“It’s legal because you’ve already set up the board.”
Richard explained that USG has not created provi-sons for an election board. He continued, a clear and precise document providing for authorities and membership of the board should be created to insure legality.
The bill provides powers, duties, and membership requirements for an EC, scheduled to be operating before the upcoming USG elections in April.
The IFC representative walked out of the meeting after the bill was passed over his objections.
Two new members were ratified by the Council. Edward Shohat was approved for the vacant junior class seat and Steve Nagen assumed the senior-class position.
In other action during the extra-length meeting, a bill was passed to include a voting representative from campus interest groups — AWS, IFC. MRHA. and Panhellemc, in the proposed con ¿itution.

An Army Officer Candidate Selection Team will be at UM campus from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. March 18 through 20, j with the purpose of advising I students of “the many ad-j vantages of a commission in I the Army, the Women’s Army Corps, or the Army Nurse Corps.”
A pair of Army lieutenants and an NCO will administer a battery of qualifying tests to students wanting to determine their eligibility for Army commissions.
Dr. William R. Butler, Vice President of Student Affairs, simultaneously issued a statement of policy concerning the practice of Army recruiters on campus.
“The Office of Career Planning and Placement provides a service to the university by making available information and counsel regarding graduate study opportunities and career opportunities in business, industry, education, and government.
“Specifically included in the latter are the Peace Corps, VISTA, and the various branches of the Armed
Services,” he said.
Butler acknowledged the right of individual students to engage in personal interviews with companies “without interference from any who would choose to protest the campus visitation of a specific firm or agency."
The policy statement came after word reached UM officials that a group of UM students plan to picket recruiters from the Army.
“Culture” Concludes W itli Cohen
LSD authority and research pioneer Sidney Cohen will conclude the “Contrasts in Culture” series tonight at 8 p.m. in the Flamingo Ballroom.
“You and LSD" wilt be Dr. Cohen’s discussion topic. Specifically, he will analyze the past, present and future use of this and other drugs which alter consciousness and induce visions.
On the basis of his thirteen years research on LSD, Dr. Cohen has observed, “A pill does not construct character, educate the emotions, or improve intelligence." He adds, “It is not a spiritual labor-saving device, salvation, instant wisdom nr a I short-cut to maturity. However, it can be an opportunity to experience oneself in the world in a new way — and to learn from it.”
Author of two books on the subject, "LSD” and "The Beyond the Within: The LSD Story,” Cohen is presently Chief of Psychiatric Services at the Wadsworth VA Hospital in Los Angeles and Associate Professor of Medicine at UCLA. He is also on the editorial board of the professional journal, PSYCHOSO-1 MATICS.

Heiken, Miami lawyer, spoke Wednesday to a gathering of UM’s Students for McCarthy.
Heiken, Vice president of the Conference of Concerned Democrats in Florida and coordinator of the McCarthy convention held at the Dupont Plaza Hotel a month ago, recited the history of U.S. commitment in Vietnam. In regard to negotiations in the present war, he accused the government of wanting to “know the score *of the ball game before they’ve even played it!”

Lanny I.ebos, chairman of the UM committee, said that the student campaign is coordinated with the major campaign. “This is ail in preparation for the primary to be held in Florida at the end of May.”
Lebos hopes that the Florida primary will turn out like the recent one in New England, where the college students turned nut en masse to support McCarthy.
The college coordinator for all of South Florida, Bob Laughlin, said, “A lot more surprises like the one in New England are coming. We can make our own surprises in Florida!" He firmly believes that the college students made the difference in the recent primary.
When asked what the rest of McCarthy's platform is, Heiken replied, “We cannot give attention to anything else until the Vietnam issue is cleared up."
He said that the main purpose of this campaign is not to argue with people in order to change their views. “We just want to find our friends i»and get them to the polls on

Three of five Libertarian Watchdog newsboys arrested last month were found guilty of breaking the Coral Gables anti-handbill ordinance late Wednesday afternoon.
Defense attorney Barry Taran argued for two hours that the ordinance was unconstitutional, but City Attorney Robert Zahner countered that munieiplc judges can not rule on constitutionality of city ordinances. He maintained that only the circuit court has that authority.
Arrested on Feb. 22 for violating the handbill ordinance, operating a business without a license, and littering, the newsboys were selling the Libertarian Watchdog which operates out of the Head Shop South.
Convicted for violating the handbill ordinance were Darius Hennosey, 19, Alden H o u g e, 19, and Robert Wright Jr., 19. They were each fined $25 plus $15 court costs, or five day’s in jail.
One newsboy, Tom Gullo, 21, was not present at the trial because he is in Dade County Jail on another charge. He was granted a continuence until 2 p.m. next Wednesday.
The other newsboy, Jim Hankins. 19, was found not guilty because the arresting officer did not see him actually handing the newspaper to anyone.
Attorney Taran, from the American Civil Liberties Union, moved for new trials for the three convicted newsboys but was denied by Judge McGee. Taran then moved to appeal the verdict and the judge set the supersedeas bonds for each case at $80.

Date Set For Si ext Monday
By MARK PINSKY
Humean» Reoorist
An activist-oriented peace group has been formed on the UM campus. The first demonstration has been scheduled for Monday, March 18.
About 100 students, faculty members, and non-students met at the Wesley Center Tuesday evening and decided to "act collectively | as individuals” to end the War in Vietnam.
The demonstration will protest the presence of U.S. Army recruiters in the Union j breezeway.
All spokesmen stressed that the extent of the individual's participation in (he Monday demonstration was to be determined by each person’s commitment to end the war.
Desperation with the expanding war set the tone as the meeting opened.
“We’ve got to do something and we've got to do it soon."
The conveners of the meeting, however, refused to preside over the formation of yet another campus organization.
“We are not an organization. If you want to do anything, you are going to have to do it yourself,” said Skip Johnson, one of the trio at the head table.
The sense of the participants, as it evolved during the proceedings, was to form "an organization without an ! organization ... an action group."
Plans for the Army demonstration were separated into three broad categories: demonstration, education, and j draft counseling.
Demonstrations will include such activities as picketing, monopolizing the recruiters’ time, accepting the recruiters’ literature and throwing it away, blocking access to the table, and debating the efficacy of the war with the recruiters and prospective enlistees.
Education will entail setting un a table distributing anti-war, anti-war in Vietnam; and anti-draft litera-: ture next to the recruiters’
: table.
Draft counseling will be ; handled by the Coconut Grove Peace Center.
At one point in the meeting, Johnson warned that it was probable that someone at the meeting would report the proceedings in detail to Dean Hynes.
Dave F'erguson, who was sitting in the audience, jumped up with a diabolical grin on his face and said. “Why wait? Let’s go to Dean Hynes ourselves, and tell him that we’re going to seize the Union patio by force . . . that we’re going to set up an ILLEGAL microphone . •
On a more serious note, ' Ferguson warned the students that a “semi-seciet committee composed of USG members and administrators have been studying the problem of campus demonstra-
