Blood Drive Disappointing
By KATHY WILSON
04 Hi» HlrrktiM sun
Only 150 pints of blood had been donated by UM students for Timmy Stroback, the 12-year-old hemophiliac, by noon yesterday. With only 4 hours remaining in the three day blood drive, hopes for reaching last year’s total of 375 pints are all but shattered.
“I’m really disappointed in the lack of participation up to now,” Ed Ackacki, chairman of Greek Week said. “Making a commitment to such a worthy cause and not following through can only reinforce the beliefs of some, that fraternities are not relevant.”
*	’C- ♦
Involvement in other Greek Week activities was not as disappointing. A crowd of fraternity men and sorority women congregated at the rock Monday night to see Tom English of Sigma Phi Epsilon win the Marathon race and to light the torch that officially started the week.
After the torch lighting Dee Ann Allen of Delta Gamma and Tom Shrader of Pi Kappa Alpha were named Greek Goddess and God. The pair was voted to reign during the week by UM Greeks on Friday and Monday.
College Bowl finals, held Tuesday attracted an enthusiastic audience to watch the finalists answer questions ranging from trivia to analytical geometry. Eric Petiprin of Alpha Tau Omega won the fraternity division and Michele Wagner of Alpha Epsilon Phi won the sorority division. Petiprin beat Bill Bot-tiggi of Sigma Phi Epsilon by one point.
Fraternities and sororities competed for top honors during Skit Night on Wednesday. Those involved were Sigma Alpha Epsilon, Sigma Chi, Tau Kappa Epsilon, Sigma Phi Epsilon, and Zeta Beta Tau fraternities; and Sigma Delta Tau, Kappa
Kappa Gamma, Alpha Epsilon Phi, Delta Gamma, and Al-p h a Delta Pi sororities. Points were accumulated by fraternities and sororities that had no final skits, but were there to cheer the participants on. Winners will be announced at the Greek Bail tomorrow night.
Today is Tag Day for the Panhellenic Leukemia Drive. Sorority women will be stationed on campus collecting money from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. Last week, 480 canisters
were distributed to stores throughout Dade County, and these will be collected today.
According to Lorrie Lifs-chin, chairman of the drive, the philanthropic project is going very well. “All the girls worked really hard on this project, and we’re expecting to get a lot of money from it,” she said.
Tomorrow morning, 200 children from Dade County children’s homes will be the
guests of the Greeks for Olympic Day. Some of the Miami Dolphin football play-e r s and personnel from WFUN will be helping the Greeks entertain the youngsters.
Games and field events for the children and the sorority and fraternity members will highlight the day. The intramural Department is cooperating in setting up and coordinating the events.
Wayne Cochran and the C. C. Riders will entertain
the Greeks and their dates at the Fontainebleau Hotel tomorrow night. At the Ball, hosted by Panhellenic, Greek Week overall and spirit winners will be announced.
The Interfraternity Council Banquet will end the week's festivities on Sunday at the Four Ambassadors. Scholarship and outstanding fraternity awards will be given out. Also presented will be the IFC Awards of Merit for service to the IFC system as a whole.

Counseling Center Planning New Services
WINN MAN By FRAN TARADASH
Of Tho Hurricano Staff
“This is a step outward for the Counseling Center,” said Howard Winniman, associate director of Student Activities, speaking of the new counseling service for students to be located in the student union.
Winniman said that for several months he and Dr. Alan M. Rockway of the Counseling Center have been interested in establishing a new kind of counseling service. They decided to plan a unique type of counseling
Bailbond Runs Into Problems
UM’s bailbond program ran into difficulty Sunday night when USG President J i m Yasser had to furnish bond for a student because the bondsman couldn’t be reached.
“Pete Peterson, the bondsman, was out of town and had someone covering for him who wasn’t, very good,” Yasser said. “When Pete gets back, we’re going to have a talk with him.”
The student arrested Sunday was charged with carry-I n g a concealed weapon. Since the bail bond service began, 12 students have taken advantage of it, most of them charged with traffic violations, petty larceny, and loitering.
“There’ve been no dope busts so far,” said Yasser, .“but I think Pete’s smacking his lips waiting for about forty people to get arrested in a riot here.”
Deputy Attorney General Ira Pollack and Murray Cohen, who formerly held the position, chose Peterson because, "he seemed to be the best of the ones we spoke to.”
that would be available to students in the Union.
“We plan to be as unstructured as we can . . . We will be able to see kids who just want to rap with a psychologist or someone else interested in their problems," Rockway informed.
The service will be set up next to the office of the Director of Intramurals in the lower lounge of the Union. Winniman said a series of paneled doors will be set up to insure privacy.
“We’re not even interested in names and will be as absolutely informal as possible," Rockway said.
According to Rockway, the counseling service will he staffed by at least 2 people at all times. Staff members will be clinical psychologists and some graduate students in psychology, working toward their doctorates.
Rockway said that any real difficulties would be referred to the counseling center, a community agency, the Health Center or dorm personnel, depending on the situation. He also added that other campuses have similar programs and that they seem to be very successful.
Winniman cited the fact that the idea for the counseling center was "conceived of and planned out of the lower echelon working up, instead of the top working down.”
Counseling will begin on Monday night and continue every week until the end of the semester. Sessions will be held on Monday through Thursday from 7 to 10 p.m.
Rockway said that students can always come into the Counseling Center, Apartment 21, at any time. The Center is staffed with five full-time psychologists.
Both organizers hope that students would realize that all contact would be strictly confidential and no records will be kept.
Winniman said a phone will be installed in the near future and that students will be able to just “call up and talk” if they wanted.”
Winniman thinks that a proper name for the center is “The Friendly Ear” since the service will be located near
the Eye.
Grad Degree Requests Due
All students expecting to receive a degree in June 1970 must make application for graduation in writing no later than March 16. No applications will be accepted after this date. If you have not already filled out this form, please do so at the

Dr. Le Lecture In Doubt
By BARBARA WOODEN
Of Thu Humean» SUM
Dr. Timothy Leary, the “high priest of pot,” may have to cancel his St. Patrick’s Day lecture at UM — he was sentenced to 10 years in jail Wednesday for smuggling marijuana from Mexico into the United States.
Ted Elwell, chairman of the USG Lecture Series, which is responsible for Leary’s lecture here, has been in contact with Richard Fulton, Leary’s agent in New York.
“In a conversation with his agent on Tuesday he (Richard Fulton) promised to contact me on Wednesday, to let me know whether or not Leary’s appeal was successful or whether or not he will be entirely out on bail,” said Elwell.
Defense lawyers have already served notice of appeal. Leary was taken to Santa Ana, California, immediately after the trial.
“I don’t think it has any bearing at all on the type of speaker he is,” said USG President Jim Yasser.
The administration has already submitted a policy on a guest speaker review board to the faculty senate for a vote. Yasser has contacted President Henry King Stanford requesting a copy of the policy.
In sentencing Leary, to his ten year sentence, U.S. Dis-t r i c t Court Judge Ben C. Connally called Leary a “menace to the country” who “openly advocated violation of the law.”

Scheduled For Tonight
Tour Of Dade Jail Planned By6Concerned?
UM law students and ‘Citizens Concerned About Prison Reform’ will tour the Dade County Jail, 1321 NW 13th Street, led by Chief Sand-strum, Chief of Jails of Dade County, tonight at 7:30 p.m.
'Citizens Concerned About Prison Reform,’ recently formed by Richard Freer, a teacher and psychologist, is comprised of physicians, attorneys, reporters, and stu-dents who are indignant about what they consider abuses and neglect in penal
institutions.
“Although such people as Ramsey Clark, former Attor-n e y General, psychiatrist Karl Menninger, the Defense Attorney’s Association and the Miami Jaycees have previously called for correction of jail conditions, the bureaucratic hassles have invariable precluded any tangible improvements from occurring,” Freer said.
Freer said overcrowded courts, slow bonding procedures and delays of trials
COSO Studies USG Control

The Committee on Student Organizations met Tuesday to discuss the extent of USG control over undergraduate and graduate student organizations.
The legality of USG President Jim Yasser’s demand for the resignation of three student members of the committee and the privileges that graduates who are members of undergraduate organizations may receive, were also discussed.
William Sheeder, director of Student Activities, said graduate students ara “free to use the Student Union and receive the same privileges as undergraduates.”
Committee member Pete Yaffe cited the sys-

tern employed at the University of Michigan which has both recognition and registration for student organizations similar to a proposal drafted by COSO. Yaffe said the system, as he observed it, was a “better working procedure and more efficient when under student government control.”
Yasser raised the question of whether or not authority should be delegated directly to the student and not to an administra-
tive organization in the case of a student organization. Yasser said the basic right of students is to organize themselves.
Commenting on the proceedings, Dr. Nicholas Gennet, Dean of Students, said, “There are seven or eight issues floating around at the same time ... The committee doesn't know who’s on the committee.”
The proposed Student Body Government referen-
dum was also discussed. Yasser said he does not expect graduate students to accept the constitution and that he does not see a graduate and undergraduate senate in the near future.
A resolution was introduced to the committee by Pete Yaffe which resolved that “the current members of COSO form a standing committee of USG Council including 6 members of the Council elected from the Council, and the Director of Student Activities." The proposal also states that “operating policies and procedures of the Committee be subject to the approval of USG Council, USG president and the vice president for student affairs.”
The proposal was tabled until after Easter vacation.
lead to appalling overcrowding of jails and injustice.
All students who are curious about the daily policies and physical facilities of the Dade County Jail, which contains 950 inmates, are welcome to visit the institution with the group.
On Sunday evening there will be a follow-up meeting at the Center For Dialogue, 2175 NW 26th Street, to discuss the experience and to draw up a report to be submitted to various political representatives, officials and media. Subsequent tours to other penal institutions in southeast Florida are planned.
Objectives of the ‘Citizens’ group include the scrutiniza-tion of rehabilitative, nutritional, recreational and educational programs; and to publicize basic institutional deficiencies.
“Snap out of your extravagant self-indulgence to remedy some of the appalling atrocities that take place every day in jails,” Freer urged.
“Nightmarish violence, senescent boredom, homosexual attacks, harrassment and beatings by guards, not to mention arbitrary, unjustified arrests by police cannot be condoned by responsible and sensitive people,” he added.

System Is ‘Not F’ To Women
By MARK BERMAN
Annum N»w* Editor
USG Council adopted a resolution Monday calling for the immediate abolition of all dormitory curfews for women students.
The document, authored by Barbara Hirsch, USG Secretary for Women’s Affairs, states that an “institutionalized curfew system denied the individual the opportunity and right of decision-making” and is discriminatory to women.
Although Associated Women Students received administrative approval for the abolition of weekend curfews for freshman women, week-day curfews are still in effect for first semester freshmen. Second semester freshmen women will be off weekday curfew beginning the first summer session of 1970.
Council, however, voted down two resolutions concerning women resident policies because representatives felt action on the bills would infringe upon the jurisdiction of AWS.
One of the defeated bills called for the enactment of a women’s residence hall visitation policy on March 15, the day men's hall visitation begins.
The other resolution urged a halt of the March 12 AWS elections until AWS changed its constitutional policies on eligibility for running for office.
The resolution stated that all women residents in good academic standing should be eligible to run. It says that the present constitution stipulates that in OTder to run, a woman must he an active member in AWS decision-making and must receive the approval of the Dean of Women, AWS advisor and AWS Central Council.
In other action Council set a date for spring council and executive officer elections for April 21 and 22.
Women Students May Appeal
The new appeal procedure for women students set up by the Associated Women Students Board of Appeals will go into effect Monday, March 9.
Any woman student who seeks to appeal her case must make an appeal within 48 hours of her original hearing, then contact a resident personnel and fill out the judicial board request form. She will then be notified of the time and place to report.
Women students may make an appeal on the grounds of an unfair hearing or a severe punishment. Presiding judge Bonnie Forman, 2nd Vice President of AWS, ard other judges will take part in appeals workshop, Friday, March 6, at the Dean of Women's office. ^
