Miami Hurricane, October 30, 1959

              Will	UM Slip Graziano Hemlock?
Rocky Graziano, in a new TV “whodunit," is cast as a UM student of philosophy who also runs a bistro on the beach.
But the University’s camera-shy administration may knock out the former middleweight champ before he makes his TV comeback.
The proposed private-eye series, “Miami Undercover,” hopes to shoot scenes using UM’s campus and coeds as a background for Graziano’s battered mug.
An administrative spokesman said, however, that the producers, Allied Artists, “won’t get permission to shoot any campus
scenes until we approve the scripts.”
Dr. Gerrit Schipper, Philosophy Department chairman, said yesterday that “philosophy will survive despite Graziano.”
The show, which hopes to join TV’s lineup of nice guys who slug to a bongo beat, co-stars Lee
Bowman as the private eye. It is scheduled for release in mid-January.
“Miami Undercover’s” talent scouts spent an entire day searching the campus for beautiful coeds. They didn’t find a one.
Perhaps the TV detectives need a better grapevine.

This week’s Hurricane hasn't been exactly a breeze, but it is smaller than usual.
And for a reason: We've been working extra hard on next week’s paper
On page one next week you'll find—in full color—the Homecoming queen and her courL
And inside you’ll find features and pictures about UM today and 33 years ago, when it was affectionately called “Cardboard College."
We think you’ll want to keep next week’s Hurricane for a few years—right on the same shelf with your yearbook and other college mementos.

McLEOl): SO WHAT?
Government Prof Is Going To Court In Metro Vote Rift
By MIKE BOYD
A University government professor today will fight in Circuit Court to kill a plan which would cut the Metro Commission from 11 to five members.
Metro Commissioner John B. McLeod, however, isn’t worried about the professor’s voter’s suit.
“We get sued everyday,” said McLeod. "We don't worry about it, because we’ve never lost a case yet.”
Dr. Vergil A. Shipley, who filed the suit Monday, hopes to erase from the ballot the first three amendments to the Metro Home Rule Charter before they reach voters in Tuesday’s special election.

Out Of The Classroom
Dr. Pearson Shuffles Off To Buffalo
UM president Jay F W Pearson and Dr. C. Doren Tharp, vice president and dean of the facilities, will leave tomorrow to attend the 45th annual meeting of the Association of Urban Universities in Buffalo, N.Y.
The association will elect officers for 1959-60, and Dr. Pearson is under consideration for the presidency.
Dr. Pearson, who Is vice president of the organization. Monday will moderate a panel on the National Defense Act.
Panel members include Dr. Tharp, Kenneth G. Barlett, vice president and director of the radio television center at Syracuse University, and John Geise, assistant chancellor in charge of student affairs at the University of Pittsburgh.
The association is made up of 82 universities which have campuses located in metropolitan areas.
“The voters have not been informed that the amendments are designed to give each commissioner a salary boost from $6.000 to S1S.M0,” said Shipley.
McLeod said the commission's power is "too watered down now” and that “Shipley ought to look at the record when Metro was a five-man commission."
SHIPLEY claims the voters were not informed as to the purpose of the amendments
“This isn’t so,” said McLeod. “It was all passed at an open meeting and printed in the newspapers.
“No law requires us to make public what goes on at meetings,” he added. "Looks to me like Shipley is looking for publicity.”
The highly contested amendments—five of them—were proposed by Commissioners McLeod, Farris Cowart and Walter Weiss Amendments Nos. 4 and 5 would make the offices of tax assessor and sheriff elective instead of appointive.
The hearing will be at 2 p.m. in Circuit Court.

■ We guarantee a contact, not acceptance," explained Herrero, | “by telling the student what the organization is and what it can do for him. It is up to him to be accepted by it.”
In existence since the beginning

New Program To Cost Less, Be On Campus
By RICHARD GELINAS
Two campus organizations are attempting to put new I life into a lecture series that flopped two years ago because of bad planning and high costs.
The first speaker will be fiery Claude Pepper, former j U.S. senator from Florida. He will speak at 4 p.m. Thursday in room M315 on “Communist China—its potential and role in world affairs.” 4---------------------------------
The eight-lecture series, "Miami 1 Presents,” was started in 1956 by the now defunct Student Bodv Government. This year's five-part series is being sponsored by the I Undergraduate Association and Delta Theta Mu, Arts and Sciences honor society.
The 1956 series was engineered by'a special committee of the SBG and was slated to cost $17,000. The University put out an additional $3,000 for advance publicity.
The plan, however, turned into a ‘‘financial fiasco" (Hurricane,
Oct. 4. 1957) for two reasons:
■	“Persons responsible for the ’56 production were trying to im-
| press the Greater Miami community, with no real thought for ' the students' benefit,” said Dr. i Thurston Adams, director of student activities.
"And nobody showed up for the lectures,” be added.
■	“Mismanagement on the part of SBG.” said Adams, but he did not elaborate.
Adams said the present series will cost slightly more than $1,000 and will be presented “in a less grandiose manner.” The University picked up the tab for several thousand dollars when the '56 production plunged into the red.
Adams named three methods of cutting costs without hurting the quality of the series:
■	No advance publicity cost*.
■	The lectures will be held on campus, thus eliminating high public auditorium rental fee*.
■	Speakers will appear for I small fees or for free.
Admission for the '56 lectures ranged from $1.50 to $2.
! THIS YEAR’S SERIES will be free to students and faculty. Non-University guest tickets will cost 50 cents for each lecture and are available in the Student Information Office of the Student Union and in the Arts and Sciences office in the Ashe Building.
Adams said the new series will be financed from funds accrued by student activities fees.
Some of those invited to speak are e. e. cummings, Arthur Miller,
Eleanor Roosevelt and Judith Anderson.

All-Hallow will break loose at midnight tonight — complete with screeching owls, roaming ghouls and ghosts, witehes riding broomsticks (or whatever modem witches ride—vacuum cleaners maybe) and rattling skeletons.
Here are some other interesting kinds of “skeletons” you might watch for:
■	President Pearson constantly glancing over his shoulder trying to escape the Curse of Cupp. What a rogue!
■	Campus couples on the lookout for prowling Coral Gables policemen with flashlights. The cops are on the hunt for illegal parkers.
Oh. yes, for those of you who have asked the origin of this hanky-panky holiday:
Once upon a time, in the days of Yore — « small county west of Boston — there lived Irving Halloween, who ran the Harvard delicatessen.
But Irving got in trouble. It seems he believed in witches (he was married, no doubt) and smoked the wrong Vand of mentholated cigarette. He was burned with a steak during the Salem witch hunt.
In memory of this heroic figure in the American Heritage, the Oren Harris Congressional Investigating Committee FIXED the date of Oct. 31 as Halloween.
Another thing: If you’re looking for witches and goblins on Halloween, don’t bother.
They've been scared away by roving bands of slum children armed with soap, dope, paint remover, explosives «nd shivs—all chanting a Watusi river song, ‘Trickle Treet.”
