Tot’s ‘	Olympic Day ’ High ligh ts Greek
By KATHV WILSON
Of The Hurricane staff
An Olympic Day for 200 children from Dade County children’s homes will be the highlight of this year’s Greek Week, March 2-8.
The Olympic Day, which traditionally included only sorority and fraternity members, will now consist of field events for the children and the Greeks.
“It’s my opinion that the Greek system on this campus isn’t just for our own enjoyment, hut also to give enjoyment to others. Contrary to campus opinion, our interests go further than just within our own groups. With this idea in mind, we want to give these kids a day of fun,” Ed Akacki, overall Greek Week chairman, said.
Some of the Miami Dolphins are expected to be preaent, along with personnel from WFUN who will be handing out records. Slater's is providing food for a barbecue lunch.
The week will officially start with the torch-lighting by the winners of the Marathon Run Monday night.
The two-mile run that circles UM, will start and finish at the rock where President Henry King Stanford will announce the 1970 Greek god and goddess.
Timmy Stroback, a young hemophiliac from Miami, will
also be present at the torchlighting.
Blood will be collected for Timmy on Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday in the Flamingo Ballroom by Mount Sinai Hospital.
“The blood Drive isn’t just for Greeks. Any student, faculty member, or member of the community can give blood and credit it to anyone they want,” Akacki explained.
The Scholarship Weigh-In for the fraternity scholarship funds and the college bowl finals will be held on Tuesday. For the weigh-in, individual fraternity members weigh themselves and pay a penny per pound toward the funds. ■
Competing for top honors In college bowl will be Bill Bottiggi — Sigma Phi Epsilon, Frank Barnes — Pi Kappa Alpha, Neil Carver — Alpha Epsilon Pi, and Eric Pe-tiprin — Alpha Tau Omega and Sue Bishop — Delta Zeta, Irene Gurri — Kappa Kappa Gamma, Shelly Whol — Sigma Delta Tau, and Michele Wagner — Alpha Epsilon Phi, the winners of the elimination bouts held last Tuesday and Wednesday.
A fraternity symposium will also take place Tuesday afternoon in Brockway Lecture Hall. A panel of fraternity men will discuss the fraternity system in a question and answer format.
“We will be discussing our
views on what we have accomplished and what we should accomplish,” Akacki,

Daniel Santo* Leads Demonstration
... in front of career planning office Tuesday
At Mini-Rally
Movement Protests CIA Recruitment
By Iris Horowitz
Ol Tho Hurricane Staff
Nearly thirty UM Movement and SDS members rallied against the Central Intelligence Agency recruiter Tuesday in an attempt to get him off the campus. The rally began at the Rock and was followed by a march to the Career Planning Office.
The demonstrators met opposition when UM student Daniel Santos, using his own megaphone, organized an Individual “anti-demonstration” demonstration.

“These people represent subversion and everything the USA represents. They are against everything the University stands for,” Santos said.
“I’m opposed to this, that’s why I have my own demonstration,” he said.

“In addition, the CIA has tried to control and undermine the student movement in the United States through selective funding and devel-o p m e n t of organizations which would not substantially oppose the policies of the U.S. government and Us CIA.
“If the UM allows the CIA to recruit on this campus it will be concretely aiding the CIA in its operations against people all over the world.”

Response Poor For Evaluation
Faculty Poll Now Underway
By BARBARA WOODEN
Of Tin Hurrican« Staff
“So far the response we have gotten has been very poor,” said Bill Diffendiefer, USG secretary for academic affairs, when asked of the progress of the Faculty Evaluation Poll.
The polls were first made available to the public nine days ago. Since then of the 5,000 that have been picked only 500 have been returned, about 4% of the undergraduate population.
“The response has been very discouraging so far, and if this trend continues then It is doubtful that there will be a complete and comprehensive evaluation. Student Government would be forced to evaluate the professors through the classes, as was done last year. This method does not lead to an overall result which would be equivalent to the attempt we’re making,” Diffendiefer commented.
In taking the polls to the classroom Diffendiefer feels students would be cheating themselves in the long run and is urging all students to take the poll and return it completed.

The Student Activity Fee Allocation Committee voted Wednesday night to give $650 to Environment, and tabled a discussion of COI-SO’s request for $1150 until next week.
Environment originally came to SAFAC with an emergency request for $300 for the April 22 environmental teach-in to be held at UM. The group had previously come to SAFAC. with a request for funds, and were sent by the committee to Student Activities and USG, where they received $250 and $450.
During the discussion of a motion to grant Environment $300, USG President Jim Yasser said that he had “serious doubts” about allocating SAFAC funds to the group, since they were involved in an issue that was basically political.
Committee member Ira Pollack supported Yasser’s opinion, pointing out that if the precedent of giving SAFAC funds to a political organization were established, groups such as the Young Republicans and the Moratorium Committee could also ask SAFAC for allocations.

Calendar Fate Undecided
The Dean’s Council feels it is not possible for the new calendar to end the fall semester Iry Christmas for the ’70 fall semester.

. . . 'no action*
By JOHN REILLY
Of Tha Hurricane Staff
Dean Robert H. Bock, chairman of the University-wide ad hoc committee on the academic calender, said he does not think that a new academic calender ending the fall semester by Christmas can be implemented by the ’70 fall semester.
“It is too early to tell when the decision on the new academic calender will be announced,” Dr. Bock said, “but it probably won’t be until the end of the semester.”
President Henry King Stanford had previously announced he would give his decision on the new calender by March 1st.
According to Stu Weiss, USG treasurer and the only student member of the ad
ho c committee, “the only reason we won’t get the new academic calender by the fall semester is because of the University’s stalling tactics."
By stalling tactics Weiss meant the failure of the majority of the committee
to attend the first meeting on Tuesday.
“Dr. Stanford appointed people who seemed interested in the new academic calender,” Weiss said, “but if they aren’t going to come to the committee meetings they shouldn’t have accepted their position on the committee.”
When asked about the failure of the majority of the committee to be present at the first meeting Dean Bock said the members were not boycotting the meetings but had just inadvertently forgotten to attend.
According to Dean Bock the Dean's Council feels that it is not possible for the new academic calender to end the fall semester by Christmas for the ’70 fall semester.
Weiss said he felt the University will not implement the new academic calender until the students of UM show more interest in USG’s proposals and demonstrate to the University administration that the students back USG’s demands on the new academic calender.
editor Alex Bukhair argued. “If the only thing Environment did with the money was to clean up Lake Osceola, it couldn’t be spent better.”
After extended discussion of the matter and three unsuccessful attempts to call the question, the committee passed a motion by Director of Activities William Sheeder stating that Environment did come under the criteria for groups eligible to receive SAFAC funds.
A motion to allocate the requested $300 to Environment was then amended by Pollack to read $1000, on the theory that if the group should receive SAFAC funds at all, they should be wholly funded by the committee, rather than by Student Activities and USG. The amendment also stipulated that the other organizations withdraw their funds.
"I’d like to comment on that,” SAFAC chairman Bob Dorlon said. “I think Ira’s just playing games."
Yasser supported Pollack’s amendment, and announced that he would withdraw his signature from the USG allocation to Environment.
The amended motion failed and a motion to grant Environment $650, to make up for the loss of USG’s $450 was passed.
COISO’s emergency request for $1150 for International Week was tabled until next week, pending the clarification of criteria for groups eligible to receive SAFAC funds by a subcommittee.
Part Of Civil Rights Rulings
Report Due In 60 Days
By LINDA K? EINDIENST
Hurrlcant Naws Editor
A three-man team has been sent to UM by the Department of Health, Education and Welfare to determine the University’s compliance with the Civil Rights Act of 1964.
“There are HEW teams going to all state and private colleges and universities around the country,” Dean of Students Dr. Nicholas Gen-nett said. ‘‘They're interested in our employment of minority groups and our special help programs.
“ “The main aim of this investigation is to find out what the universities are doing to break the poverty cycle,” Dr. Gennett said.
Currently UM has two fulltime black administrators and approximately 125 black students.
“The number of blacks at UM is admittedly small,” Dr. Gennett continued, “but the fact is that there are very few available. What universities have to do now is to grow their own — that way they’ll break the cycle.”
The university has been required to prepare Its own report for the HEW team to study.
UM will learn the outcome of HEW’s report within 60 days. If the university is not in compliance with the Civil Rights Act, HEW will tell tho university what it must do to meet the requirements.
“If a university isn’t in compliance with the law, then it stands a risk of losing its federal funds,” Dr. Gennett said. “If we were to lose federal funds here at UM, the university couldn’t exist as It does now. We receive many federal grants, especially for our research.”
Today the HEW team Is finishing up their week of study at UM. They have visited every area of the university, including all undergraduate and graduate divisions.
