An entirely new concept of women’s visitation privileges in Men’s Residence Hall facilities has been approved by MRHA and administration officials.
Effective February 19, 1968, the new experimental regulations provide visitation hours from 12 Noon until 10:45 pm, Sunday through Thursday, and from 12 Noon to 1:30 am Friday and Saturday.
In 960 and Eaton Hall, women may visit only the
lounges on each floor of the men’s tower. The number of hosts and visitors may at no time exceed the number normally accommodated in each lounge. The women are asked to enter and leave the lounges by the elevators, and are to use bathrooms only in the commons or main floor areas.
The apartments have similar regulations, with bedrooms off limits, although bathroom facilities may be used. No more than three women will be allowed in an apartment at one time.
Normal observation of dress codes and quiet
hours will be enforced, and visitation privileges will be suspended during vacation periods.
Women will only be allowed in men's dorm areas if they are visiting by invitation and are escorted by the person making the invitation.
The initial proposal of the new privileges was passed by the MRHA legislature and presented to a joint committee of the Dean of Women, Dean of Men, AWS, and MRHA. It was approved Feb. 14.

Election Board A ppoia ted
The USG Council met Monday afternoon for an hour discussing a wide assortment of subjects. Normal procedure was bypassed to accommodate Dr. (‘D o c’) Adams, Director of the Student Union, who sought official confirmation for his proposed list of election board officials for April’s USG elections.
Council members unanimously approved Mike Try-son, Thad Koch, John Leath-erwood, Steve Hill and Marty Arostegui as student members of the board. Automatically an administration member, Dr. Adams, also named the Deans of Men and Women or their representatives, and William Sheeder of the Student Union, as other members of the board.
President Dennis Richard told Council members that Time magazine is seeking to include UM students In the maga/ine-sponsored “Choice ’68" elections scheduled for April 24. It is designed to determine U.S. students’ views toward presidential primaries, Vietnam policies, and general factors of voting ages and procedures. Time agreed to allow UM to include the questions on the regular USG election ballots.
the relationship to be pursued in the future between the Coral Gables Police and the UM.
Dr. Butler conceded that It would take a “few weeks to carefully define the University’s relationship with the Coral Gables Police ... a policy that is my responsibility to put together in a presentable form and submit to the President and his Cabinet for approval.”
Effective Immediately, until University policy can be defined and explained, the following set of regulations will be instituted:
The Coral Gables Police will only be concerned with the routine patrol of city streets within the confines of the University;
The Coral Gables Police will not come onto the University of Miami unless they request approval from University officials;
The Coral Gables Police are authorized at any time to come on campus if they are in “hot pursuit” of a law breaker, or if they have a warrant for the arrest of someone on campus.

University officials and Coral Gables policeman must follow new guidelines in order for local police to come on campus. As in this case, they may enter in “hot pursuit.”

A “State of the Student Body" message will be delivered by USG President Dennis Alan Richard on Monday. February 19. The address will be given at the USG Council meeting to be held at 5:00 p.m. in the Flamingo Ballroom of the Student Union.
In his message, Richard will cover the past accomplishments of his administration and project the future programs which he intends to institute.
Highlights of the message will concern the rights of students in disciplinary proceedings held by campus judicial systems. Richard is
expected to issue a statement of policy concerning this problem.
Richard stated that “important legislation will be introduced which will have an effect on all the students at the University of Miami."
The question of student rights has risen from the recent disciplinary action taken against members of the “Zoo,” a University apartment. Its occupants, 7 male students, were charged with “smoking marijuana sometime last semester.” A decision in the case is still pending.
Richard will also discuss the movements underway concerning the Anti-Board Plan Movement, which he started.
appointed to fill the recently vacated USG position of Assistant to the President by Dennis Richard, USG President. He succeeds Joseph Albert, who resigned February 6, 1968 on “purely personal grounds, not concerning USG policies whatsoever.”
Dresner, a junior and an Alpha Epsilon Pi fraternity member, has had exposure to the workings of USG as an administrative assistant. He recently contributed to the Teacher Evaluation program coordinated by USG.
Asked to comment on his appointment, Dresner considered It “an honor that will afford me the opportunity to contribute something concrete to the University.”
As assistant to the President, Dresner will be Rich-
ard’s “right hand man.” He will act as an advisor to and representative of USG’s chief executive.
The new appointee disclosed a major project plan for this semester will be a publication aimed at uncovering UM’s vital statistics and dispelling the notion of “Sun Tan U”.
Facts are to include the official ranking of the UM schools nationwide, the caliber and the merits of professors as well as their salaries, and the general achievement of the University and students as a whole. “Which are all quite Impressive,” Dresner contends.
A President’s Council Is another accomplishment Albert proposed and Dresner would like to see realized this semester. Innovated to “eliminate communications gaps and Induce cooperation between UM’s fraternities, sororities, AWS, MRHA and U S G,” Dresner projects, “could be eliminated by a united front.”
Women will continue to occupy 730 East, one tower of the 960 dorms, and one tower of the new 1068 dorms, but three of the apartments will be for women. Apartments 22, 23, and 24 will be the new honors apartments for 250 Juniors and Seniors.
The Association Women Students has been contacted to screen and select the women who will live In the apartments. It will be under the supervision of AWS and the Dean of Women.
These new accommodations for juniors and seniors will allow women to live In apartments yet not be completely removed from the campus. It will also give these women more freedom since the board plan will not be mandatory for them.
Dr. William Butler, Vice-president for Student Affairs, stated, “I think this is a new innovation in student housing. It will be interesting to see what AWS can do with this. These new accommodations are primarily for women about the age of 21 who don’t necessarily want to move off-campus, but want

Many Ideas were shuffled around to cope with the housing situation. At first a Mahoney-Eaton Hall switch was pondered, but since there are more men applying for housing, Eaton would have been one-third empty If made a women’s residence hall. It would be a loss of approximately $59,000.
