              Our Pollution Problem
TALLAHASSEE. Fla. — (AP) — Every polluter of Florida's air and waters will have to get a permit regulating waste disposal if a state board approves a proposed environmental control system.
Pollution Control Director Vince Patton will present the permit system to the air and water pollution control board Wednesday.
“We're going to control anything that can be a source of air and water pollution,” he said. “The Department of Air and Water Pollution control will be the judge.”
Patton said he hopes to begin issuing permits 60
days after the board approves the proposal.
“I think it will help us move faster,” he said. “Within a couple of years we’ll have a pretty good invenotry of our air and water sources throughout the state. This will be a tremendous advantage because this is something we’ve never had.”
The system provides for permit# before new plants can be constructed and operation permits for existing pollution
sources.
Patton said permits will not be issued until a source has submitted acceptable plans for controlling discharges. Permit enforcement • will depend on the department’s regional personnel, he said.
"This is where the field people come in, in reviewing periodic reports submitted by permit holders,” Patton said.
"You have a factory out there, and they can pop in at any' time and
say, ‘Look, what are you putting out?”
Contained within the permits, he explained, will be standards stating explicitly how much of any type of pollutant can be discharged.
“If you come in and say, ‘We’re going to pour all kinds of poisonous material in receiving waters,’ we're going to say, ‘uh-uh,’ ” Patton said.
I n cases involving more exotic forms of pollutant such as fertilizers that foster unwanted life forms, the standards will involve a detailed study of the capacity of the receiving waters, he said.
" To Water Pollution
“We’re going to have to set a lot of numbers in the days, months and years ahead,” Patton said. “We're going to have to do like North Carolina did and study every body of water in the state.”
He said the department plans to hold regional meetings to explain this permit system to the public and industries.
Patton claimed that most industries are willing to abide by the system, but he said a few probably will try to evade the permits.
"I don’t know that we’U always get compliance from everybody,” he said. “You always have some strays.”

RAW To Present Concert Tonight
Bailbond Aids Two
Two UM students were the first to use the newly-approved USG Bail Bond service last week.
Charged with leaving the scene of an accident and driving with an, invalid license in Metro court, their combined fines totaled $750.
USG has guaranteed that Baiibondsman Pete Peterson can cover bail for a student not exceeding $2,000. A student must sign a promisory note to USG for 10% of the bond cost.
‘‘USG is going to get in touch with the student’s parents and get a telegram stating that the parents will assume responsibility in case their child does not appear in court,” said Ira Pollack, USG Deputy Attorney General.
USG
SBG For UM Vote
By MARK BERMAN
Assistant N«ws Editor
USG Council has approved the Student Body Government Constitution which it will soon pass on to the students for approval in a referendum.
If approved, the SBG will replace USG and will have the power to determine the student activity fee and enact regulations for student conduct, activities, student publications and organizations.
The SBG structure calls for a senate that will include representatives from every class and graduate school.
USG President Jim Yasser has invited President Henry King Stanford to discuss the constitution at a future council meeting before the student body votes on it.
“The present USG Constitution was written by the administration and gives the student body no authority,” he said.
‘This document is the most significant piece of legislation which USG has enacted since its existence at UM," Yasser said.

Of Funds
By MELANl VAN PFTTEN
Of ttea Hurricane Staff
The Student Activity Fee Allocation Committee passed a motion Wednesday night to inform the University Budget Committee that the debate team will not be considered in SAFAC’s allocations for 1970-71.
SAFAC chairman Bob Dorlon told the committee that he had apoken to Business Manager William McLaughlin about denying SAFAC funds to debate next year, and was told “SAFAC should play it as they see it.”
Last year the debate team got $4,400 from SAFAC, and asked for a 20% increase to $6,700 for this year.
SAFAC came to the conclusion that debate would not fold without SAFAC funds, and a motion was passed to inform the budget committee that debate would not be considered in next year’s allocations.

A group of unidentified UM students destroyed the "Movement Booth” Wednesday afternoon in the breeze^ way.
The students scattered and
destroyed the literature about the Abbie Hoffman conspiracy trial and Black
Panther Movement being distributed. They also pulled the National Liberation Front Flag off the wall.
Although the outbreak was brief, there were reports of mace being sprayed and property destruction. No one was seriously injured.
“The people who attacked
the workers were obviously against the distribution of our material," a Movement worker said.
"The Movement people are educated UM students that distribute radical literature and engage people in debate.
We are no threat to anyone.’’ s a Td another Movement worker.
Ron Kasula, Assistant Dean of Men, discussed the problems that the incident poses.
‘The policy of posting material on the wail no longer needs approval but UBOG is authorized to take down objectionable material,” Kasula said.
"It is doubtful that we will be able to follow through, other than gathering information, because of a lack of student identification. The Movement Group doesn't want any disciplinary action taken or investigation," he said.
Members of the Movement group jointly decided not to make a statement for the Hurricane until their officiai leaflet was issued.
The group has not decided what reaction should he published regarding the incident. They did not want one individual representing the entire group.
The group was afraid that the Hurricane editors would unnecessarily edit their material.

Language C.O. Deadline Today
By JOHN REILLY
Of TSu HufTft»uu Ifuff
Five o’clock today is the final deadline for Arts and Science students presently taking a foreign language course ■ for a grade to switch to pass-fail.
The Undergraduate Counseling service agreed with the Hurricane that the deadline should be extended until today for students who had not been informed of the change in policy. The original cut-off date was yesterday.
According to Mrs. Nancy Dean of Undergraduate Counseling, a memo was received on the first day of registration from the office of the Dean of Arts and Science to the effect that students could take their foreign language requirements under pass-fail instead of a grade.
Mrs. Dean said the reason for students not being informed of this action was due to the confusion of registration.
The decision was made by the School of Counseling and passed «town through channels but never reached the student level.
Mrs. Dean said that students wishing to change to pass-fail should report to room 210 in the Ashe Building. No fee
for the change is required because students were not Informed of the change during registration by their advisors.
According to Dr. Robert Kirsner, chairman of the foreign language department, the department was fully aware of the change in policy but they could not issue credit-only coupons if the student's adviser had not authorized It. Since many advisers were not aware of the change in policy most Arts and Science students did not take advantage of the pass-fail offer.
The University’s pass-fail interpretation applies to all courses in the University, with the following limitations:
•	A student may take for pass-fail no more than one course in any term.
•	A student may take for pass-fail no course in which a grade of C or above must be recorded.
•	A student may take for pass-fail no more than a total of 24
credits.
• A student may he restricted in the courses which he may take for pass-fail by the School or College in which he is a candidate for an undergraduate degree or through which he expects to receive certification.
•	A School or College may not restrict the pass-fail enrollment of students who are not candidates for degrees in that School or College.
