The referendum will be divided into three parts: $3.00 general increase; $20.00 for a field house; •^$3.00 increase for entertainment and culture. The Student Activity Fee is a fee of the University which is paid by the students and is used solely for the students in non-academic > areas. «■ Of the $22.00 fee, as it now is, $11.50 of it was set by various student referen-dums: $10 for a student union; $1 for entertainment and cultural events, and $.50 for * Homecoming and Cam! Gras. Since the activity fee Is used expressly for the students and paid by the students, the USG felt that the entire undergraduate student %body should decide on the proposed fee increases. It will appear on the referendum in three parts. Part A: $5 general increase. „This could be the most crucial of the three increases tfie committee believes. The present funds are insufficient to cover the recent deeds of the campus-wide organizations and-or activities, but these needs are growing each year. <• Below is a listing of all organizations that received funds this year and the «nount of the general fee hich they received.

Dorlon who says he feels he ‘has been more involved in USG than at least two of the other candidates,* has a slate including Dave Halberg for vice-president and Neil Carver for treasurer. Claiming that a strong argument against USG is its ‘second floormanship,’ Dorlon said he would keep key people stationed around campus to give him an accurate assessment of student wants if elected. The slate’s plpn for staying in touch with the students includes monthly meetings in the residence halls to hear recommendations and gripes about student government. Admitting that their pledge to expand the 3-3-3 Committee into a University Senate is ‘sort of idealistic* Dorlon said ‘there are things that we can’t implement, but we hope to at least give a push in that direction.' The Dorlon slate gave mild praise to the current USG administration. “I think Mike Abrams has done a fair job this year. He just had certain failures in communication,” Dorlon said. “One mistake he made and we won’t,” Halberg said, “is that when recommendations are made to the administration, dates have to be set.” “That’s what the Day of Conscience did.” “If you are hostile to the administration, their alternatives can become limited,” Carver said. “You can’t circumvent them.” "I don’t think the administration is so dog-headed that things can’t be worked out,” Dorlon said. NON-VIOLENT DEMONSTRATIONS AS STUDENT PROTEST: “I don’t think they’re that successful . . . only as a last resort,” said Dorlon. “Like with the Merlin Curry incident, students didn’t really know what was going on,” he said. “The Day of Conscience is the first time any sort of protest has been tried. “When the administration gets more conditioned to these protests, they can plan their responses and the method will be less effective.” “The way they are effective,” Carver said, “is to give the University a bad name. We don’t want to jeopardize the University’s name- We want to seek a degree at a respectful university.” COMMUNITY RELATIONS: The Dorlon slate has a plan for a “Career College” which would take students in Continued on Page 3 Continued on Page If Candidates At Forum A special University Forum has been called for tonight by Director Dr. Shepherd Faber in hopes “of providing USG presidential candidates with the opportunity to directly present and defend their platforms to the student body.” “We are planning to allow cross discussion and debate among the candidates themselves as well as between the panel and a u d I e n c e,” Faber ex-1 plained.

[iiiiiii[iiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiia Election Special Shapley Supports Interest Groups; Will Turn USG Into Confederation If elected, presidential candidate Greg Shapley plans a program which he feels will turn USG into a confederation o f interest groups. Shapley, a junior English major, feels that the “other candidates seem to be leaning heavily toward a federation type of student government where campus interest groups would in fact lose their autonomy under a vastly stronger executive branch.’’ High on the priority legislation list is the establishment of a constitutional convention composed of representatives from every student organization which in turn would come under the new constitution’s purview. The slate, including sophomores Pete Hill for vice president and Stacy Homstein for treasurer, is promoting the establishment of a standing committee of international and American students "to Shapley study and promote better understanding and relations between these groups,” and the creation of a younger more competent security force. Shapley said that the funds for the construction of the fieldhouse, the overhead parking space, lighting systems for the baseball field and the rathskeller, have already been allotted, so he can insure that these four programs will be accomplished. CLOSED MEETINGS: “We’re responsible to the people who elected us,” says Pete Hill. “The students deserve to know what’s going on, especially if it concerns them.” STUDENT DEMONSTRATIONS: “I favor only nonviolent, respectful demonstrations of student opinion,” said Shapley, “and only then with the support and consent of the majority of the student body represented in such a demonstration.” ADMINISTRATIVE RED TAPE: “If there was a clear majority of favorable student opinion on the issue and the administration had turned down all other avenues of student communication, it would be my job as the students’ representative to orga- Continued on page 3 Four Voting Booths Around Campus USG elections this Thursday and Friday will find voting machines in four locations around campus. Booths will be set up in the lower lounge of the Student Union, the Memorial Building Breezeway, the Great Lounge in Mahoney Hall, and the Recreation Room in the 1968 Complex. Voting hours will be from 9 a.m. until 4 p.m. on both days and all students must have their ID cards with them in order to vote. USG Council decided on the location of the bo^hs in their weekly meeting before Spring Recess and voted to place one more booth than last year in the 1968 Complex “in order to catch as much of the voting population as possible.” Election results will be announced simultaneously at Student Union Patio. The annual Banquet will be held this year at the Airport Holiday Inn and is open to all interested students. Tickets are $6.50 per person and must be purchased in advance from the student activities office on the second floor of the Student Union building. THE HURRICANE is conducting a poll on USG Elections for this Friday’s issue. Pollsters will be asking students: 1 ) Are you going to vote ? 2) What is your choice for Presidenty Vice - President and Treasurer? 3) How are you voting on the referendum ? Y asserts Platform 4Different Jim Yasser, the second candidate to announce in the USG presidential race, is running on a 25 plank platform which he says “has no point which is so utopian that it cannot be accomplished or the greatest substance of it effected.” The slate, composed of Yasser, Marty Weinkle, vice-presidential candidate and stu Weiss, candidate for treasurer, Is standing on a platform which emphasizes due process, revision of academic procedures, and selective service reports and guarantee a stable four-year tuition and housing fee. Yasser described his platform as “different.” “Obviously, the most complex platform issues and the most difficult to resolve are the financial ones,” Yasser said. “The co-op bookstore and the stable tuition are more difficult, but we won’t forget them. “Unfortunately, there are a lot of this year’s issues we still have to wind up," Yasser said. The Abrams administration received a concerted round of criticism from the Yasser ticket. “Mike Abrams is a very sincere person,” Stu Weiss said, “but he is incapable of providing leadership for undergraduates. “If it weren’t for members on the council, his high point would have been at least mediocrity,” Weiss said. “His administration has had no effectiveness,” Weinkle said. Yasser, who was instrumental in the creation of a students rights’ commission, stressed the need for a smoothly operating commission where “the president works with it.” His plan for a new disciplinary system includes a court of peers. “We don’t see any competency or relevancy of administrators,” Yasser said. CONSTITUTION: "We’re trying on paper to devise some sort of umbrella • . . a broadly structured constitution. We need to maintain the automony of certain groups like Panhellenic and IFC which are socially oriented groups,” Yasser said. “We would like to see the governing of student life, such as residence halls in a consolidated student government.” The proposed constitution has evolved during the past few weeks as a battla point The three agreed that acceptance of the Constitution would “pave the way for everything else we have to do.” Yasser, who was chairman of the constitutional convention, said “this Is going to taka a year to get through, regardless of what some reactionary leaders hava to say.” AFRO- AMERICAN Continued on Page 3 Weinkle Ufi»* Collins Offers Change Joe Collins, a sophomore who isn’t satisfied with the communications between USG and the administration, has announced his candidacy for USG President. “I’ve seen the necessity for change in student government at UM and want to do something about it,” Collins said. Collins’ platform consists of a Three Point Alliance that will link securely together the student body, student government and the Administration in regard to all social, academic and financial affairs. “I feel that for the past two years, the President of USG has been ineffectual,” Collins said. “But I’m not for the complete cleaning out of student government There are many changes that must be made but they must start from the top.” Collins feels that the main problem is a lack of communications. "The students do not have direct communication with student government Continued on Page 3 Collins Class Representatives Included On Ballot Class representative selection will be included in the USG balloting tomorrow and Friday.
