Miami Hurricane, December 17, 1968

              WHY?
Why are these two men laughing? The complexities which certainly clutter their minds would of course be hard to uncoil, but immediate reasons why they are laughing might not turn out to be such a hard thing to find out. William Buckley, on top, could very well be laughing because ultra-libera!' Benjamin Spock got a beating last week at the hand of UM conservatives, and because he feels he is coming to a friendly campus next Thursday night when he speaks at the Ibis cafeteria.” (See story on page II). Wayne Silver, on the bottom, could very well be laughing about HUR-RIC A N E Fickle Finger Awards, on pages 8 and 9, of which he himself is a receiver.

Shut Out

“It was the Dean of Women’s decision,” Dean May Brunson said. “I would prefer to work with AWS on the curfew issue, rather than through Student Government. I am the ultimate authority.”
“The secrecy surrounding the meeting is very disturbing,” Abrams commented. "It’s pretty unfortunate when the President of USG is not allowed to sit in on a meeting which will affect so many students here. I think the girls have made it clear

Spock Condemns Immoral War; Explains American 6Madness’
Speaking in the Ibis cafeteria to a full house Thursday night, Spock said that he was opposed to the Vietnam war on the grounds that it’s “illegal, immoral and against the best interests of the United States.”
Towards the end of the formal presentation, the lecture was interrupted by jeering of protesting Cuban students who raised hand-painted signs saying, “We don’t want traitors” and “Let’s conspire against U.S.S.R. — not U.S.”
The protestors were especially angered by Spock’s statements that Castro had the right to nationalize the sugar industry and the U.S.
