By PAUL BARGER
Of Th» Hurrican# Staff
Folk singing and sleep-outs on the grass have been only part of the Moratorium activities that began Thursday at 12:00 noon.
There have been and will continue to be discussions on the war by professors from various departments including Economics, Philosophy, Government and Sociology.
The moratorium will continue through tonight if any desire to sleep on the grass again.
There will be folksingers singing to small groups as there will be no loud speaker systems. There will also be candlelight ceremonies in the evening, however there will be no marching.
“It will be more of a vigil type atmosphere — people will be doing more of what they want to do

rather than take part in planned activities," Marty Weinkle said.
Students will be taking part in community activities such as marches and demonstrations.
“The object of Thursday and Friday is to provide forums for discussion and education so that those who don’t know what is happening will learn and in
turn be able to teach others," USG V. P. Weinkle said.
Those who will be leading the discussions will be both pro and anti-moratorium. “Everyone is invited to join us regardless of their feeling," Weinkle said.
Also, on Sunday there will be a march at Key Biscayne by Nixon’s home.
Those that went to Washington D.C. left Wednesday night and will be taking part in the Death March which will begin midnight on the 13th and continue through the morning of the 15th. The Death March will be a situation in which each marcher, as he passes by the White House, will call out the name of one of the war dead until all the names of the Vietnam War dead have been read.
“The Vietnam Moratorium Committee on the UM is in no way affiliated with the New Mobilization Committee in Washington D.C.,” Weinkle added.

ALP Stages Rally On N. Viet Policy

Americans for a Lasting Peace staged a march and rally which began at Coral Gables High School and ended at the Rock at CM on Tuesday, Veterans Day, to show support of President Nixon’s Vietnam policv.
According to Archie Jones. Americans for a lasting Peace are united on several issues, such as “striving for a lasting peace in Vietnam, not a temporary peace.” Temporary peace could lead to a larger, more costly war and to a massive bloodbath if the Communists take over,” he added.

„Participants in the rally carried signs reading “Peace on our terms, not the enemies", "Many die for love of America", and “Peace, yes, Surrender, no”.
Jones clarified that Americans for a Lasting Peace “affect democratic change through petitions, letters, phone calls, not through massive demonstrations or
violent subversion of the democratic government."
Although the rally on Tuesday and the group of Americans for a Lasting Peace were born out of protest to the October 15 Moratorium, the committee leaders have no plans to counteract the November 15 Peace demonstration.

The UM Lecture Series has been batting only about .200 this semester as the LeRoi Jones cancellation resulted in the fourth such disappointment in five scheluled engagements.
Julian Bond has cancelled speaking engagements twice this semester, and John Birch Society Founder, Robert Welch has similarly cancelled. Only Paul Krassner has appeared as scheduled.
“The fault lies in circumstances that were not our fault,” said Ron Reshefsky, Undersecretary of the Lecture Series.
Thus far no explanation of his absence has been forthcoming from Bond, and it is presumed that Welch cancelled due to unfavorable receptions elsewhere, plus the Oct. 15 date of his engagement.
It was learned that Jones would not be present when his agent called UM and explained that Jones had informed him that an "emergency arose and he cannot appear at this time, though he does have available dates in December,” said Lecture Series Chairman, Ted Elwell.
“As the contracts stand now, it’s almost impossible

“We want to get student opinion on campus issues", said Ira Pollack, a member of the USG Election Commission. “That’s why we're including four referendums on the next election ballot.”
The four questions that will be asked of students in the referendums are:
1)	Do you approve of a $2 increase in the student activity fee for the USG concert series, which will be initiated for the spring semester, 1969?
2)	Shall the university provide the necessary medical examination, and prescribe birth control pills to university students?
3)	Are you in general approval of the university’s proposed security plan which will entail up to 12 officers with police power on the security force?
4)	Do you feel that the proposed security force should carry firearms?
Voting will take place on November 20 and 21.

Another student speaking to the crowd through the open microphone said, “I’ve seen signs stating ‘America, Love it or Leave it’ but let’s not get caught up In blind nationalism. There are problems in America, so think, 'America, Love it but Change it ”
An anonymous student warned Marty Weinkle about sensationalism in the world of communications and requested that Americans give as much support to the soldiers in Vietnam as they did to the New York Mets.
Angel Pena said, “I am a citizen of the United States. It’s my duty to expose my views in Vietnam or of our system; the proven greatest system. I want to see it exist for many, many years. I condemn black arm bands because it advocates destruction of the United States and its system.
Various Cuban students spoke about the uprising in Cuba and how Castro quelled the disturbance with communism, hence the reason for their patriotic armbands. They did not want to experience the situation raain In the United States. ^

UM May Bring Suit On Miami
By JOHN REILLY Of Th# Hurrican* Staff
Jim Yasser, preident of USG will ask the University Administration next week to start proceedings against the city of Miami because of the cancellation of the Janis Joplin concert at Dinner Key auditorium.
“If the University will not sue the city of Miami, USG will,” Yasser said.
Since the concert cannot be held at Dinner Key it will cost USG the loss of all ticket sales and an additional two to three thousand dollars in additional security and special insurance.
Yasser said USG cannot absorb such drains on the treasury. According to Yasser this is the main reason for USG asking the University to sue the city of Miami.
“I have a feeling the University will do it,” said Yasser, “it is an affront to the University, to USG and to our choice of entertainment.”
"The City of Miami was totally out of place and totally paranoid in banning the Joplin concert,” added Yasser.
“The ordinance the city is using is empty. It can be applied to any of our concerts,” said Yasser.
According to Yasser there is political pressure on Melvin Reese, the city manager,

Spectacle May Draw Thousands
By BARBARA WOODEN

The Janice Joplin Concert, Saturday night, November 15, will be no ordinary night's work for the UM Security Forces. For the past few weeks preparations have been made and precautions taken to insure that the concert will go smoothly.
A special committee was formed specifically to decide the measures that should be taken for the Joplin Concert. The committee consists of a number of students, faculty members, administrators, and is chaired by Fred Doerner, Director of Security. The committee was dubbed the Janice Joplin Planning Committee.
"Any holder of a valid UM ID and one guest will be admitted to the concert,” said Jim Yasser, President of USG and a member of the JJ Planning Committee.
The concert will be held on the UM Soccer field, a large fenced-in area on the south end of the campus opposite Fraternity Row. Students will be admitted through the gate nearest the Athletic Office.
A special force of gate people from the Orange Bowl will be anticipated to handle the larger than normal crowd.
“The gate people from the Orange Bowl are professional,” said Fred Doerner,” they know how to handle large
crowds.”
A volunteer assembly of 50 student is headed by Ira Levy, a member of the JJ Planning Committee. The students will assist the UM Security Forces in patrolling the fences.
USG Votes to Follow Phase 1

Of Tha Hurrican# Slaff
USG Council has decided to abide by and enforce all provisions of the constitution revised by Phase I last year, although it has not yet been approved by the administration.
The action was taken to clear up confusion within Council in enacting legislation.
Representatives and cabinet members have not been sure which constitution to adhere to this year — the administrative approved one, or the one accounted for by Phase I.
Council also added several amendments to the new constitution, one entire article dealing with amendment procedures and another out-

lining the duties of an appointed secretary to Council.
After a debate between President Jim Yasser and USG advisor William Sheed-er, council Included an article stating that the Director of Student Activities shall serve as USG advisor.
Yasser said It wasn't necessary to write into the constitution a section on the advisor.
He said he planned to
write a by-law concerning the advisor's role.
Sheeder said the executive was apparently trying to build fences around USG.
Yasser failed to muster enough support to withhold the advisor’s job from the Constitution and Council passed an amendment calling for its inclusion.
Council also established a steering committee Monday to represent the student body
at all meetings and negotiations involving UM food service.
The committee will include the USG treasurer and president and the presidents of AWS and MRHA or their designees.
UM has recently instructed SAGA, Inc., a national vending company, to cc duct a survey of the UM food program in response to student opinion regarding ARA Sla-
ter’s handling of food operations.
The committee will also interpret and publish the results of a USG National Food Service Survey now in progress.
A resolution calling for the elimination of all current Bookstore discounts or the initiation of equal student discounts was unanimously approved by Council at Monday's meeting.
Presently faculty and employees of the University receive a 10% discount and council feels that if students can’t get an equal discount, it should be eliminated entirely.
