Tofs 'Olympic Day'Highlights Greek
By KATHY WILSON
Of Th* Hurric.n. SI.H
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, but 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
present, 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 torch-
lighting.
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 Petiprin — Alpha Tau Omega
and Sue Bishop — Delta
Zeta, Irene Gurri — Kappa
Kappa Gamma, Shelly Who!
— Sigma Delta Tau, and Mi-
chele Wagner — Alpha Epsilon Phi, the winners of the
elmination 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,

"Greeks Come Together"

IFC Hostess tryouts will
be held from 1-4 p.m. on
Thursday in room S233 and
241 in the Student Union.
"Any girl can try out for
IFC Hostess," Akacki said,
"they don't have to be in a
sorority or going with a fraternity guy. Every girl is welcomed."
Also on Thursday, the Panhellenic Workshop and Banquet will take place from 4-9
p.m. The banquet will be
held in the 730 dining hall
and every sorority woman is
expected to attend.
On Friday night, open
house campus parties are
scheduled along the row.
"This will be a good time
for someone interested in the
Greek system to go over to
the row and see what's happening," Akacki said.
After the Olympic Day on
Saturday, the Panhellenic
Association will host the
Grecian Ball at the Fountain-
bleau. The overall Greek
Week winners and the spirit
trophy winners will be announced. Entertainment will
be provided by Wayne Cochran and the C. C. Riders.

Daniel Santos L-stuls Demonstration
. . . in front of career planning office Tuesday
Al   Mini-Rally
Movement Protests
CIA Recruitment
By Iris Horowitz
Of Th. Hurrlcin* 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.
Fred Doerner, head of
campus security, met the
demonstrators at the doorway of the office and informed them that the CIA
agent had a tull schedule of
interviews, so they would
have to move away from the
door and stop creating a disturbance.
that foreign policy," the petition read.
"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 its 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."
Butler replied that "...
the University reaffirms its
policy that every student has
the right to receive career information and to engage in
interviews with prospective
graduate schools and employers without interference
from any who would choose
to protest their campus visits.
Response
Poor For
Evaluation
Faculty Poll
Now Underway
By BARBARA WOODEN
Of Th* Hurrican* StaH
"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, aa 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 tha
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.

'Environment' Club Gets $650
By MELANI VAN PETTEN
Of Th* Hurrican* Star!
The Student Activity Fee
Allocation Committee voted
Wednesday night to give
$650 to Environment, and
tabled a discussion of COISO'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 ley Christmas for
the Tf) fall semester.
Stll  >rVHss
. . . 'no action*
By JOHN REILLY
Of Th* Hurrican* 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
hoc 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 KLEINDIENST
Hurrican* Ntwi Edttcr
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 Gennett 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 full-
time 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 the
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.
