The University Cabinet
met in emergency session
Friday morning and decided
u to offer a $1,000 bond reward for information leading
to the arrest and conviction
of the party responsible for
bombing the Dean of Men's
office Thursday evening.
Coral Gables police will
' continue their investigation
and "will prosecute someone
when found, "said Sgt. Lewis
Mertz, community relations
director.
Mertz explained that the
usual investigation of all
evidence is underway but "it
cannot be expected that
someone will specifically be
pointed out in 24 hours."
No one was injured in the
blast which shattered six
' windows and blew open the
door in the waiting room
leading to Dean of Men Nicholas Gennett's office.
The bomb exploded between 10 and 10:05 p.m.
• Thursday right outside the
locked outer-office door.
Damage was estimated at
$200.
The   only   person   in   the
office was 23-year-old graduate student,  David  Butcher,
"   who was studying.
Butcher said the explosion
sounded like a hand grenade.

UM Junior Murdered
By LINDA KLEINDIENST
Ot Tha Hurricana Staff
Described as happy go lucky and
popular, Glenn Cornelison, a UM junior, died Thursday night when he was
shot in the head by one of his taxi cab
fares.
Glenn Cornelison was on his first
night of work for the University Cab
Company, a job which he had seemed
happy to get "I talked to him that
afternoon and he was real happy about
the job," said Rich Siuk, one of Corne-
lison's Sigma Alpha Epsilon brothers
and one of his closest friends.
He had been dispatched to pick up
his 13th, and last fare of the day in
front of Chippy's Restaurant on Coral
Way. He was shot to death by a .38
caliber weapon at the Kow Loon Chinese Restaurant, two blocks from
where his fare had originally asked to
be let off.
Cornelison was a transfer student
from Miami-Dade Junior College. "He
liked it here at Miami," said Sluk. "He
was pledged into the fraternity during
the fall semester and he was initiated
on January 28."
A  physical  education   major,   his
favorite courses were sports. He had
loved to water ski.
As intramural representatives for
the fraternity, Cornelison participated
in all intramurals.
"He pulled good grades," continued Sluk, "but he didn't have to study
too hard."
He lived at home in the Gables —
601 SW 39th Ave.
He turned 21 February 9.
A member of the football team in
high school (Coral Gables High) he
was remembered as a popular, well-
liked student by one of his fellow 1966
graduates. During his two years on the
Gables team a* halfback, the school
captured the state championship.
A spokesman for the Miami Homicide Squad reported that nothing new
has turned up in the case. They still
have only a very sketchy description
of a possible suspect.
The burial will be today at 11 a_n.
"The fraternity has elected a memorial plaque for Glenn," said Sluk.
"The flag will fly at half mast and the
whole chapter will attend the services."
am delighted with my appointment and am looking
lorward to serving the University with a great deal of
pleasure."
Doerner's job will keep
him in close contact with
President Stanford, to whom
he will report directly. Dr.
William R. Butler, vice president for student affairs, and
Eugene E. Cohen, vice-president for financial affairs,
who also oversees the operation of the physical plant.
Dr. Butler said that Doerner should make a smooth
transition to his new University post. "After reporting to
the University on May 12,
Mr. Doerner will meet with
students and administrators
until the semester ends and
will have the entire summer
to study UM-relatcd problems," said Butler.
"It is hoped that he will
also have the opportunity to
view the security programs
on other campuses before
beginning his study," ho
added.
Doerner received his AB
degree at McKendree College, Lebanon, Illinois, and
his LLB degree at Washington University, St. Louis,
Missouri. In 1842, he joined
the FBI as a special agent,
and has served in several FBI
field offices throughout the
country. He has also served
at FBI headquarters in Washington, D.C. In an advisory
position.

and legal fraternity, and the

Jim Yasser, Marty Weinkle, and Stu Weiss were
elected USG Executive Officers by a landslide victory of
over a thousand votes in
USG elections held last
Thursday and Friday.
Final tallies revealing a
record voter turnout of 3,702
were posted in the student
union shortly after they were
released at the USG banquet
being held Friday night at
the airport Holiday Inn.
"The suspense was torturous," said newly elected
President Yasser of the evening's dinner and speeches.
Some 100 in attendance at
the banquet were kept waiting until the last portion of
the evening program for
official results.
Referendum figures, however, were announced at the
dinner's start due to "overwhelming pressure to release
just these figures," announced Election Chairman
Veda Levin.
A three dollar increase for
the USG Concert Series was
the only item on the 3-part
referendum to receive voter
approval. 1,759 voters were
in favor of the resolution
with a declared opposition of
1,143.
Tha five dollar increase for
general student programming
was defeated by a 200 vote
margin with only 1,312 students in favor and 1,540
against.
A raise for field house
construction of $20 was also
defeated 1,656 to 1,240.
Final figures 2,057 re-
v e a I e d an unprecedented
victory for Yasser who received a 571 vote lead over
the collective total of all
three other presidential candidates.
Bob Dorlon, placing second, totaled 905 student
votes with Greg Shapley
receiving 448 and Joe Collins, 133. Collins was the
only presidential candidate
to run without a slate.
Vice President Weinkle
totaled 1,833 votes giving
him a 1,000 vote lead over
second place Pete Hill (803).
Dave Halberg received 794
votes.
Stu Weiss, new USG
Treasurer, more than doubled
and tripled support of his
opponents with 1,875 votes.
Neil Carver received 900 and
Stacy Hornstein, 660.

Describing the election
as a "thrilling feeling,"
Jim Yasser, presidentelect of USG, interprets
his victory as a strong
step in a new ideological
direction.
"It establishes our philosophy as the one the
students believe in," said
Yasser. "It's really a reflection of our philosophy
of students* rights and
recognition of students'
right*."
Yasser was disappointed with the number
of students who came out
to vote. "It's a terrible

The finals of one administration saw the birth of its
successor at the USG Banquet Friday night as election
results were revealed following farewell speeches by
USG executive officers.
Held this year at the Airport Holiday Inn, the banquet   is   intended   to   honor
those having shown outstanding service to Undergraduate Student Government.
"This year's banquet was,
by far, the most successful
USG has held," commented
Banquet chairman Bruce
Cowdrey. "It had a completely different atmosphere
which was more conducive to

the  importance and  success
of such an event."
After declaring their assistance invaluable, President
Mike Abrams presented special awards of recognition to
members of the Cabinet and
council.
Following the awarding of
plaques to council representatives, each of the three
officers reflected on the activities and campaigns of
their year in office.
Abrams, in claiming few
pretensions about the successes and failures of his
administration claimed, "Of
course we are not satisfied,
but we have no apologies to
make, fully confident that we
made a difference and left a
good foundation for the next
administration to build on."
Perhaps the most spectacular of all accomplishments,
Abrams reviewed, was the
granting this past week of
the right for the President of
USG to sit on the Board of
Trustees.
" 1 his will be my gift to the
new President," he said.
"We were the slate that
almost wasn't," Vice President Alan Sherman said of
his campaign one year ago.
"We almost accepted defeat
before actually entering the
race. We were told three
Greeks could never win."
Sherman warned members
of the council that there
would always be obstacles.
"There will always be a back
room filled with politicians,"
