Gary Richtmeyer, Captain of the Competition team and a member of the AWSA ‘Barefoot Club,’ recently jumped over 100 feet in a competition. For this he was entered into the “Century Club,” an organisation for all those who jump over this mark. He is seen here stepping out of his skis to ski barefoot.
Surf Splashes As UM Skiers Perform
UM’s Hurricane Skiers presented a Water Ski Show on the Student Lake on Sunday, February 11. The show, included over 15 different acts.
Dave Shelton. President of the Ski Club and one of the co-ordinators of the event, considered their presentation a ‘‘fantastic success”.
Highlights of the show included parasail routines, an airborn kite demonstration given by Doug Bingler, a seven man pyramid, barefoot skiing and a “crack the whip", an r. ent where skier John Zanick whipped a full 360 degrees around the towing boat.
Other fe lures of the show include shoe-skiing, triple slaloming, a five girl ballet show, clown acts, as well as double events that involve Bonnie Be itty and Cary Richtmeve
Walter Kyle, the club’s Vice-President and director of the show, stated that the purpose of the exhibit was to vividly expose to the student body the visible attributes that skiing offers, as well as to entertain.
He went on to say that “the ski show, while it exhibited the talents of our best skiers, was not intended to scare away the beginner or average skier.”
For those interested, Dick Lames, Ski Club Treasurer,
stated that a meeting of all active members, 40 or more students, will be held in the Flamingo Ballroom this Wednesday night at 7:30 According to Lames, “All active members will be there to welcome anyone interested in skiing. All are invited / to attend.”
To show how deep and widespread their convictions were, the editors and presidents signed this statement: “I believe that I should not be forced to fight in the Vietnam War because it is unjust and immoral.” These signers feel that the opposition to the Vietnam War among draft age men is greater than President Johnson appears to believe.
Following the statement is a list of the first 440 signers, giving their name, position, school, and date of graduation.
In the letter, Robert M. Hundley, coordinator, states, “Although we have not yet announced our statement publicly, it is the kind of responsible and dignified statement which has already been commended by many — including several Senators — as most likely to be effective with the Administration and Congress.”
When asked if he would reply in opposition to the Vietnam War, Larry Mans said, “No. I definitely don’t think that the war is unjust and immoral,’ nor can these
Carni Gras Planned For March Deadline
' Carni Gras Festivity will again be heightening the UM campus spirit with its booths, rides and games.
Scheduled for March 21 and March 22, Ted Peck, overall chairman, predicts that, “T his year’s Carni Gras has a real good chance of surpassing all preceding years, as we’re getting an overabundance of support."
The rest of the Carni Gras committee consists of Randy Femmer, financial chairman, Thad Koch, layout chairman, Mike Tryson, head of the administration committee, John l.ethcrwood, head of publicity, and Tom Rebel, assistant overall chairman.
Proceeds from Carni Gras v/ill be divided so that 60 per cent will go to the individual participating organizations and 40 per cent will be given
to the Paul R. Yarck Memorial Fund.
The fund, established in September 1954, uses the money to “concentrate efforts on the building of Student Activities facilities.”
There will be 50 to 60 organizations entering Carni Gras this year, and Peck hopes to have 120-130 booths. And, for the first time in the history of Carni Gras, an organization other than an undergraduate organization will participate — the UM Alumni Association.
The Carni Gras weekend will be centered on the intramural field, in front of the 960 dorms. Festivities will end with the Josh Wight Jr. concert on March 23, where trophies and awards will be given to the winning contributing organizations.
ticn to the war. I’m not saying I’m for war, but I will support it passively until any other alternative comes up.”
Dennis Richard also refused to reply explaining that, “The University of Miami has already made its stand. In a recent referendum
over 70 per cent of the student body voted that we should either maintain present policy or escalate t h e war effort. This certainly does not sound like a student body that feels the war is unjust. The student body at the University of Miami is made up of students from not only every state in the Union, but also from many foreign countries, therefore it was a well-represented body of people who voted on the referendum.”
Richard went on to say, “I don’t feel that the students’ statements were truly representative of their schools.”
Some of the 'flames that appeared otr-tbe statement were: Stephen Cohen, ’67, president of the student government of Amherst College; Kona Cherry, ’68, editor of the campus newspaper of American University; Davis Gerstel, '68, editor of the Brandeis University newspaper; Karlyn Banker, ’68, editor of the University of California, Berkeley, newspaper; Jeffrey Kuth, ’69, editor of the University of Chicago newspaper; and W.

AAUP Inspects Faculty Raises
By MF.LANI VAN PETTEN
Hurricane Staff Writer
About 250 UM faculty members who comprise the University of Miami chapter of the American Association of University Professors have issued a resolution on the subject of faculty salaries and pay raises.
The resolution, which first came under discussion last spring, was unanimously adopted at the January 11th meeting. It stated that when the announcement of next semester’s tuition increase was made, as well as the announcements of the last two increases in tuition, the impression received was that the primary reason for the increase was to raise the salaries of the faculty. It was pointed out that in each case, faculty salaries have benefit-ted least from the added university income.
The report stated that in view of these circumstances, and the fact that building construction on campus has been partially financed by funds borrowed from the University’s operating budget, from which faculty salaries are paid, several suggestions made by the AAUP should be considered by the administration.
The resolution suggested that “a) A long range program on faculty salaries be planned and instituted immediately; b) use of operating funds for building construction be halted; c) the University not begin the construction of any new buildings
