line,” said Vice President for Student Affairs William Butler. “The Dean of Students role in discipline has not yet been defined.”
Assistant Dean of Men William Sandler would be asked to accept the position of Dean of Men according to Butler.
The two promotions depend on the approval of the proposal and satisfactory
agreements being reached between the University and persons involved.
Other administrative positions would also be juggled pending the Board’s decision.
“Everyone currently employed would be retained,” Butler said, “but there would be some shifts in administrative responsibility.”
Students has been under discussion by department heads since last fall when the University decided to further implement the coed residence halls’ program.
At that time two of the assistant deans were designated to assume joint responsibilities for the program on a temporary basis. This system had each assistant reporting to both deans.
The creation of a Dean of "The residence campus has
grown dramatically without personhel increase," said Butler. "The traditional walled distinctions between the treatment of men and women is not now adequate for the solutions of problems.”
Butler said that tile University is trying to move toward the elimination of double standards.
“The direction is clear,” he said. “But this doesn't mean that we will arrive at a day when we don’t need a Dean of Men or Dean of Women.”
With the creation of a Dean of Students, the University will be following the versity would be following the path that most large Universities have adopted. "In order to do away with confusion, one person must be in charge of the total operation,” Butler said.

the Round-up, and the Tra-bant. The skywheel, a giant double-ferris wheel, offers a vantage point to view the city. The Roundup is described as "a contraption that will literally lift you off your feet and put you on your hack,” which the Tra-bant is called “a ride similar to being on the edge of a spinning coin.”
Organizations entering Carni Gras have the opportunity to win trophies and make money. Sixty per cent of the money is kept by the participating organization. The remainder goes into the Paul R. Yarck Memorial Fund, which is used to purchase or build student activities objects. The tennis courts near Mahoney hall were built with this fund.
The office of Student Activities organizers of Carni Gras, are completing final arrangements for this year’s festivities and have also discovered that their publicity campaign sems to be going well. Of the 175 multi-colored, semi-psychedelic posters put up around campus, almost all were stolen within a day. ■
Trophies are given to the first and second place booths, (determined by the amount of money made) of sororities, fraternities, and independent in two divisions — Green (one booth) and Orange (two or more booths.)

Phony Press Releases Prompt Model UN To Worldly Action

Cuba invaded Paraguay, Fidel Castro was assassinated, and Warsaw Pact troops invaded Romania just to keep things lively at the UM Invitational Model United Nations conference this weekend.
All major Florida universities and seven out-of-state universities represented countries of the U.N. in a weekend of debating proposals in the General Assembly,
Security Council and Economic and Social Councils and reacting to invented press releases on world ca-tastrophies.
Soipe pf the measures passed bv the model U.N. included resolutions to dissolve the Warsaw Pact and NATO, censure the U.S. for deployment of the anti-ballistic missile system, and train agronomists for hungry nations.
Other resolutions that failed were prpposals to ad-

mit Red China to the U.N., de-nuclearize Israel, and impose sanctions against Cuba subversion in the West-en Hemisphere.
Lewis Spreling, Secretary of the General Assembly, predicted that other proposals would deal with changing the U.N. charter and con: demning any nation for territorial invasion of another.
To carry through, this weekend’s actions resolutions that are passed are sent to the annual model U.N. conference in New York and then to the U.N.
SAFAC allocates funds for the UM Collegiate Council of the United Nations (CCUN) to sponsor trips to New York and Milwaukee for about 20 members to participate in conferences.
In New York UM delegates will represent Colombia and in Milwaukee they will represent the United Kingdom.
Commenting on the contrived crises set up at different times, Murray Cohen, chairman of the Special Political Committee, said that they force the individual countries to formulate policy and stimulate thought among the delegates.
“The crises also add interest,” Cohen said.	*
A member of the India delegation from Florida Presbyterian College said that the invented crises were "absured,” while a
U.S.S R. delegate from Rollins College said they were “useful in testing the ability of delegates to cope with pressing situations.”
UM Coeds Not Guilty In Pot Rap
Two UM coeds charged with possession of marijuana February 8 were found not guilty by the University Disciplinary Committee yesterday.
The two girls pleaded no contest claiming the search of their campus dormitory room had been carried out illegally.
The hearing lasted three and a half hours.
The girls were suspended from school last week following and eight minute hearing by the Dean of Women’s office and a denied appeal based on too severe penalty.
They were granted a new hearing by Dean of Student Affairs William Butler on grounds they were denied due process.
The Residence halls program has mushroomed in the past three years with the construction of two sets of twin towers. Another tower is now being considered as to financial feasibility, and the Master Plan calls for replacing the apartments with towers.
“My job would change significantly,” Butler said, “because each of the areas under the proposed Dean of Students now report directly to me.
“It is necessary to create the position so that more attention can be given to each area.”
The Disciplinary Procedures Document currently calls for Butler to be appellate officer for disciplinary hearings. “Just who will hold this position if the new position is instated remains to be seen,” he said.

A proposal to double the social and cultural fees aliot-ed to MRHA and AWS will also be considered by the Board today.
The present allotment calls for $2.50 per student to be designted for social and cultural programming. The increase would provide an operational budget of about $45,000.

4Atlantis Can Be Found Two inches . Below Toes, Says Guru Barry Patch
By MELANI VAN PETTEN
OI TIM Hurricane Staff
Lie down, close your eyes, and project your consciousness back to your past life.
* “Where are you now?” Barry Patch, guru and “Messenger of the Great White Light,” asked his subject, who was stretched out on the ground with his eyes closed.
“I’m in Atlantis,” the subject replied in a soft, sleepy voice.
^ “What are the people like in Atlantis?”
“Very peaceful, very much in tune with each other and their surroundings. They need a lot of love.”
Thirty people sat in a circle in f an open field for nearly two hours Sunday afternoon as the subject projected his mind back to a previous existance on the lost continent of Atlantis.
Barry Patch, who organized the occasion, questioned and guided the time-traveler as he sent his mind to points two inches below his feet, six inches above his head, and finally hack to his past life on Atlantis.
"Most of us here lived on Atlantis at one time," Patch told the ( group. “That’s why we are here
now. Miami is near the center of Atlantis, and it will rise again soon.”
As the group gathered around the subject to ask questions about life on Atlantis, a girl strolled around with a washtub full of apple bread and jugs of apple cider. Patch wandered off to talk to three truck drivers who had come to investigate the gathering. They sat down to listen, looking skeptical.
“Please don’t take my picture,” said a girl with a black veil over her head and face. “I have this thing about cameras. They make me nervous.” She hid her face in the grass.
“Is there music on Atlantis?” someone asked the subject.
“Yes. It’s very soft and flowing, like a whole bunch of flutes, very much in harmony.”
“Were we ever gathered together like this when we were in Atlantis?” another inquired.
“Yes. We were afraid of' the people from the north and west. They were hostile. The people in the north were really barbarians. They had broken away from Atlantis. We
were trying to decide what to do if they attacked us.”
Patch strolled away again and began explaining his theories to a few of the spectators.
“This is the age of Armageddon,” he said "There is something in the air, and everyone is searching for it.”
Patch, who will speak at 8 p.m. In the Flamingo Ballroom tomorrow night, talked about “awareness techniques” and the “Aquarian Age,” which he says the earth is now entering.
“Our planet is undergoing an important phase in it’s evolvement,” he fcaid. “The time is coming when the earth will reunite with all the other planets, and men will communicate on a mental rather than a physical level."
One of the subjects, who traveled back to a past life in Sweden in
“When I went back to Sweden, everything was clear, and I was aware of my outer surroundings. The only thing is," he said, looking puzzled, “I’m not sure whether I was creating it in my mind, or whethers it really happened."

Secedes

McKinley House voted to secede from MRHA Sunday night citing six grievances against the organization.
The grievances include:
CLOSED MRHA executive elections fail to represent the choice of University of Miami residents.
THE SCOPE of MRHA’s "House of the Year” award tends to have a negative effect on house spirit.
ALLOTMENT OF house points has proven to be unfair hnd too subjective. MRHA has lost the points for houses three times.
ALLOTMENT OF MRHA
house finances tends to deny the residents that which is rightfully due them.
THE SYSTEM of the present MRHA has failed to stimulate sufficient organizational interest on campus.
THE MANY attempts by McKinley House to help solve these problems within MRHA have failed.
McKinley House, the fifth floor of Mahoney Hall, announced Its decision at the MRHA meeting last night.
MRHA’s reaction was not available at press time. *
