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.

Kennedy, (D., N.Y.), enters the race for the presidential nomination.

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.

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.

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 Li berta rii 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.

The conveners of the meeting, however, refused to preside over the formation of yet another campus organization. “We are not an organization.

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.
