Fourth of July Spotlighted
After a silence of several months, the University of Miami carillon came back to life July Fourth, as part of the county-wide "Bells for Freedom” observance. In its new location atop the Ashe Administration Building, the carillon should be heard louder and clearer according to Dr. Ralph A. Harris (pictured above) the retired music professor who plays the carillon. On loan to the university from the Shulmerich Corporation, the carillon costs $25,000 — an item not in UlVTs budget, but Dr. Harris has hopes of finding a donor to purchase the system.

Students Aid Effort For Rockefeller
By RICARDO D' JAEN Miami’s placid atmosphere of the summer months is in sharp contrast with the spirit of activity displayed by a student circle, the New Majority.
The group, established during the early days of June, was created, according to Student Chairman Jim Smart, “to promote a new attitude towards politics; one that grows from the feelings of tre American people to satisfy their needs.
To carry out these premises, we have the man who can unite our country in the future ahead, above partisan divisions, Nelson Rockefeller”.
Among the activities sponsored by the New Majority are the Fourth of July drive, which took place at the Orange Bowl, during the fireworks celebrated there, and the periodical recruiting tables set up at the UM Campus as well as at other
academic locations, including Dade Junior College and Barry College.
Another branch of the group is headed by Ellen Garthright, a former UM student, in charge of the organization of a group of Rocky’s VIP Hostesses.
The Hostesses will welcome the delegates to the Republican Convention, which will take place in Miami Beach next August, and will help as aides during the entire Republican reunion.
“We are also looking forward to next week’s visit to Miami by Gov. Rockefeller, and expect to convey to him the feelings of his large New Majority in the State of Florida”, Smart said.
Governor Rockefeller will arrive at Miami’s International Airport, today at 3:30 pm where he will Ire greeted by New Majority members, who will stage a welcoming rally.
