"relatively safe" — lottery numbers cannot count on
escaping induction next year.
A White House fact sheet issued at the time the
lottery was established last month offered as a rule of
thumb that men whose birthdays were among the last
122 drawn would be relatively safe from the draft.
"Anybody who can give you predictions like that,
better shine up his crystal ball," said William H. Mc-
Cachren, North Carolina's Selective Service director.
He was among those questioned in an Associated
Press survey of draft officials in ail 5 states, the Dis-

trict of Columbia and New York City, whose draft
district is separate from the rest of New York State.
The survey showed:
State spokesmen in Alaska, Colorado, Kansas and
Utah agreed, with reservations, that the high lottery
numbers in the Dec. 1 drawing were unlikely to be
called.
Spokesmen for 17 states and the District of Columbia said they did not agree.
Twenty-nine states and New York City said it was
too early to tell if the projection was valid.
Although low numbers still are more likely to be
called than high numbers, officials said variables such
aa size of draft calls, numbers and distribution of volunteers, numbers of deferments and chance geographical distribution of birthdays might cause them to call
hign lottery numbers.
Here is more information from the survey on these

For Miami's Poor Tonight
UBS
Rally
Is Held
By BARBARA WOODEN
Of Tht Hurrictnt Stttf
"Rally today, 12:00, protesting Panther Killing" read
the UBS (United Black Students) sign on the bulletin
board of the Afro Center.
And at noon on Friday the
recorded words of Malcolm
X echoed oiit across the patio to begin the rallv.
In the past 14 months 28
Black Panthers have been
killed. The two most recent
deaths of Panthers came
when the Illinois police attempted to raid the apartment of Fred A. Hampton,
Illinois chairman of the Black
Panther Party. In true resulting gun battle with police
Hampton and Mark Clark,
another Illinois Panther leader, were killed. Two other
police officers and four Panthers were wounded.
The rally was an effort to
point up what Jay Miller
executive director of ACLU
(American Civil Liberties
Union) termed "a part of a
nationwide pattern of police
action against the Panthers."
"The Black Panther Party
can never be destroyed," said
Harold Long, former president of UBS and now minister of information. "We're
here to protest the murder of
Fred Hampton and the arrest
of David Hiller."
Dismay over the Panther
.situation was not the only
grievance aired by UBS and

Proposed by SAFAC
By CRAIG PETERSON
Of Tht Hurrlctnt StaH
Although its members
distribute more than $350,-
000 a year to UM organizations, SAFAC still remains
one of the least-known,
though financially most-powerful, groups on campus.
Student Activity Fee Allocation Committee, composed
of eight students and four
non-students a year dispenses a large percentage of
the money obtained through
the $30 activity fee paid by
all full-time undergraduates.
Based on a projected 11,-
000 payments per semester
next year, the total funds
handled by SAFAC could
reach $352,000.
Details of the projected
budget include allocations of
$138,000 to sports, $96,000 to
UM publications, and some
$67,000 to various organizations including the Pep Club,
cheerleaders,   USG,   WVUM,

UM Coeds Sing Out For Big Brothers

Pike Hosts 'Little Brothers'
By PAUL BARGER
Of Tht Hurrlctnt Sttff
Santa Claus distributed presents to each of the
fatherless children at the Big Brother's Christmas Party
sponsored by the Miami chapter of Big Brothers of
America, Delta Gamma Sorority and Pi Kappa Alpha
fraternity.
Ron Stone, chairman of the party, organized the
activity that provided entertainment, food and Christmas cheer for about fifty children in the Miami area
who are involved in the Big Brother organization.
The party began at 12:30 as kids arrived and mixed
with members of Pike and Delta Gamma. "Ding-a-ling
the Clown" did his act for the kids and was followed
with a concert by the "Squiremen."
Jat*/_  ( ioward Twilley,   Carl  Nof.ian   and
Doug Moreau of the Miami Dolphins are big Brothers
and they were present at the party. Clancy spoke to the
children and then introduced Santa Clau* and his two
elves. ■
The original hippy with his hair, bodjp and wide
belt sat in a chair and passed out a gift to eaah child.

The gifts were provided by Burdine's and Children's

Sealtest, and six dozen ham and cheeze sandwiches
donated by Landshire Sandwiches, provided a lunch for
the children.

the   Carni   Gras   committee,
and others.
"Our basic job in allocating funds is to work within
quality, priorities and the
available money," SAFAC
chairman Bob Dorlon said.
Under SAFAC's direction,
a yearly recommendation
detailing funds to the dozens
of organizations is prepared,
then submitted to Vice President for Student Affairs, Dr.
William R. Butler. Butler, in
turn, passes the recommendations along to the administration's budget committee, along with his comments.
SAFAC has existed in its
present form for only three
years; until then, funds were
distributed directly by the
administration.
Available funds have risen
accordingly with the increases in the activity fees.
Three years ago, the activity
fee was $22, later raised to
the current $30.
As any other organization,
SAFAC has encountered its
problems. Anonymity, for
one, has traveled with the
group since its inception.
"Most students don't really
realize where their activity
fees are going," William
Muff, the representative from
the Division of Financial
Affairs, said.
Another problem lies in
the organization's timetable.
While theoretically designed
to be fully active by early-
Fall, the selection of new
members through the screening committee has traditionally forced SAFAC to meet
later in the year than they
would like.
"The screening committee
should select new members
in early May," Dorlon said.

Christmas Concert
Scheduled A fterwards
Nearly 400 UM students
and faculty are expected to
go door-to-door in the Miami community tonight in
the largest effort yet attempted by this University
to assist the poor. Sponsored
by Project SUMMON, canvassing will begin at 7:00
p.m. tonight and continue
until 10:00 p.m., after which
all participants of the drive,
and all other members of the
University community will
gather at the Rock for a
a Christmas concert.
Working through student
organizations such as Inter
Fraternity Council, Association of Women Students,
Men's Residence Halls Asso-
c i a t i o n, and Panhellenic.
participants of the drive will
gather on campus at 6:00
p.m. for last-minute instruc
tions and then go out to designated areas of the city.
SUMMON is a non-funded
student group and therefore
has appealed to the University for help in getting those
materials needed to continue
its work. Some items students will be knocking on
doors for are Christmas toys
for children, educational
games, blankets, boys clothing, and green stamps.
Project SUMMON has had
nearly 60 students working
the entire fall semester in
such scattered places as two
migrant camps in South
Dade, Montanari, a residential clinic and school for
emotionally disturbed children, Youth Hall, the county
jail for juveniles, and with
slum children on Miami's
north side.
"Although our work is
with the poor and hurting,
we are no missionary group,"
explained Norman Manasa,
student-director of SUMMON. "Our whole purpose is
to put our students into one-
to-one intensely personal
relationships with others
over a prolonged period of
time. In this way our people
feel the pain others know,
learn their own limits, and
therefore grow."
"That's called an education, by the way, and the
reason some of our students
get academic credit for their
And besides, we are
teaching people to read," he
added.
This drive was originally
scheduled as a Halloween
affair but had to be postponed due to bad weather.
"However," Manasa said,
"it's on for tonight, come
what may. Together we can
make Christmas better for a
hell of a lot of people, including ourselves.
"If giving is what makes
Christmas worthwhile, tonight can be all ours, both in
the streets and on the Rock.
Needless to say, everyone is
invited to come to both, or
whichever one. they can
make."

Murderer
Sentenced
To Life
The killer of a UM student
and part-time cab driver has
been sentenced to life on
charges of second degree
murder.
James Stuart Riser, 42, an
alcoholic waiter, tried to rob
21 year-old Glenn Cornelison
last April 17 and shot the
student cab driver when he
was recognized as a bandit.
Afttr the shooting the cab
struck an office building at
2977 Coral Way and the
killer fled.
He was arrested in Palm
Beach County and charged
with the crime.
Former associate dean of
men Patrick W. Halloran, in
a letter to Cornelison's parents, said Glenn's death was
a "great loss to the University of Miami."
"He impressed all of those
who knew him of his intense
desire to make a contribution
to his fraternity and the University," Halloran said.
"During these periods of
student unrest, one might
think that the typical college
student is one who would be
characterized by a less moral
and less thankful individual.
"However, it is men like
Glenn who have continually
contributed to the positive
forces surrounding us, that
makes the other students
gain the respect of their
peers. He was, without a
doubt, a young man that
characterized that part ot the
University," Halloran wrote.
