Paul Krassner, editor of The Realist and one of the founders of the YIPFIE movement, characterized the Vietnam War in his speech Monday night by saying. "A lot of liberals are against the war only because we’re losing it.”
He began his lecture by saying of UM, “This is one of the most surrealistic places I’ve been in.”
Krassner went on to describe the founding of YIPPIE. In December of 1967, he, Abbie Hoffman, and Abbie’s wife Anita were in South Florida on a vacation. They began talking about what to do at the Democratic Convention in Chicago. From their desire to exemplify an alternative life style emerged the Youth International Party (YIP). “It was a party in the sense of balloons and ice cream,” said Krassner.

“The Chicago trials were like a circus. Judges were racist

“We knew the Democrats and Republicans wouldn’t be around in a hundred years and all we wanted to do was speed up the evolutionary process.”
According to Krassner, YIPPIE wanted to avoid the “hang-ups" of modern political parties. “YIPPIE’s only position paper was the Kama Sutra.” he said.
For such activities, Hoffman, Jerry Rubin, and
six others are now on trialln Chi<{aj;g^h dmrges of
conspiracy.	^
“The atmosphere of the trial is like a circusT judge is a racist,” Krassner said. He went on to out-» line plans for the November March on Washington including a march to the steps of the Justice Department to say “Stop Political Trials.”
Commenting on the use of marijuana by U.S. troops in Vietnam, he said, “I think we’re in Southeast Asia to protect the crops.”
His basic philosophy has gone from “Why?” to “Why not?”. He said he views the Revolution as Life against Death, although he said, “I’m not emotionally ready to carry a gun.”
Asked what his long-term goals were, Krassner replied, “Survival."

The Report of the Committee On Class Attendance Policy .Violations was submitted early Wednesday to USG President Jim Yasser and the USG Council by Attorney General Louis Tripoli and Deputy Attorney General Sal Behar.
The report itemized the' types of complaints that spurred the investigation and gave the Committee’s recommendations in regard to violations. In addition the Report contains results of the survey recently conducted through the Hurricane which revealed students feelings in regard to attendance policy.
Among the findings of the Committee were that certain professors contradicted their announced attendance policy without notice, or ignored their previously established policy.
Other practices exposed are those of assigning daily homework assignment thus necessitating daily class attendance, deciding border line grades on the basis of class attendance, and the refusal by some professors to allow for excusable absences.
Some professors have been giving cuts to students who are more than ten minutes late to class, and in some cases any daily class cuts are computed as failing grades when the students average is figured.
The committee lists 27 professors as offenders in addition to citing the entire departments of History, Engineering, and Education, as being “unfair or unusually harsh with regard to class attendance practices.”
A complete list of the professors accused of violations has been submitted to Dr. Sofen, Chairman of the Academic Petitions Committee. Dr. Sofen and Dr. McHenry, Chairman of the Faculty Senate will “contact these professors and resolve the problems of class policy at once.”
The Committee’s recommendations to Yasser suggest

that he write each of the professors involved requesting that their attendance policies be “restructured to the satisfaction of both professor and students,” and should they fail to comply, that they be given a poor rating in regard to ‘attendance on the next faculty evaluation poll.
The Committee’s recommendations to the USG Council “that a class attendance policy be drawn up in consultation with members of the faculty to evaluate once and for all the problems which have arisen and to provide the students and the University with a standard, uniform, consistent, concise, attendance policy."
The Committee’s Survey of student reaction to the UM attendance policy showed that there was overwhelming student opposition to the taking of attendance by the university. Eighty-seven percent of the students responding to the poll felt that taking attendance is not part of the University’s responsibilities.

“There hasn't been an election code approved and we just can’t operate until we have one,” said USG President Jim Yasser.
Lynn Siegel, a member of the newly-appointed elections commission, called for the postponement “in order to insure maximum efficiency and order.”
Her resolution brought

Members of the committee include: John Dohm chairman, Elliott Messing, Ira Pollack, David Selby and Jim
Yasser.
Parliamentarian Murray Cohen said the Doerner security program has been questioned extensively by the Faculty Senate and MRHA.
“They have raised many of the same questions as USG,” said Cohen.
Council tabled a series of resolutions proposed by Ira Pollack calling for the adoption of a USG committee system and a set procedure for presenting bills to council.
If accepted the resolution will initiate rules, finance and appointments committees.
The proposal will be discontinued on page 2
loud disapproval from freshman hopefuls in the gallery.
“Why can’t you come up with an election code already and stop talking,” said a freshman running for council.
In other action a resolution allowing the three elected orflcers to take as few as six credit hours per semester was accepted by a vote of 5-2-1.
The bill if approved by the administration and accepted as a USG constitutional amendment will enable officers to get the proper financial remuneration for 15 credit hours.
If the president takes six credit hours one semester he will receive tuition payment for nine credit hours at a later date.
The bill also states that the president cannot succeed himself in office.
“I don’t think the executive branch can do a good administrative job and carry a full academic load at the same time,” said sophomore representative John Dohm.
Yasser said the responsibilities of the job of president make it Impossible for him to be a good student and officer.
Council also passed a resolution asking the University not to take action on the proposed deputized campus security force for at least two weeks in order for a USG Ad Hoo comriiittea to

Rick Butler is the 26-year-old coordinator of the committee. He meets often with the representatives. Meetings are held once every two weeks on one of the seven campuses.
