USG Debates Parking, Search Policy at First Meet
Students and Officials Meet In Year’s First UM Forum
President Stanford later expressed his personal belief that the question of university governance would "hopefully be settled within the next 12 months.
"Surely, by then, we will have come to a more definite understanding as to areas of authority.” he said.
Love-In
Seeks
Peace
By Elizabeth Ostroff Of Tin Hurrlctn staff
The first Love-in ever held at UM will take place at 1:00 p.m., Sunday, September 28. in the Student Union Patio.
With the theme,
“Come on people now Smile on your brother Everybody get together Try and love one another,
right now,”
the Gadflies, who are sponsoring the event, hope to follow the precedent set at the Woodstock Music and Art Fair in Bethel, N.Y., where, despite overcrowding and lack of sanitation, a contingent of today’s youth retained the peace and a sense of oneness.
L o v e-in creator Matt Greene, was quick to add that the gathering’s purpose was, "a plea for peace not protest.”
The Love-in sponsors Ed Cahll and Matt Greene plan to have at least five local bands and some added folk singers for entertainment, although the underlying purpose of the gathering remains to unite people. “If we can get students together at the beginning of the year, we can prevent apathy later,” said Greene
The promoters also announced that if Sunday's Love-ir is a success they will plan oi holding two such happenings a month.
The promoters feel a change has come over the UM as demonstrated by the recent Byrds and Vanilla Fudge concerts. They believe this change is manifested by the student body’s growing sense of unity and of commitment.
Previously Love-ins here have been restricted to the Coconut Grove and Grey-nolds Park areas and, says Greene, “Love-ins around the greater Miami area have definitely suffered because the locations have been in places where the older generation has total control.”
“We go to this school and we have a right to be on this campus as long as we are cool about it.” Cahil conclud-

“He may turn down the request if he sees fit, but he can be overruled by the personnel dean or the director of resident student development,” he said.
Yasser said the new policy will also eliminate all forms of room entry without the proper warrant.
He also discussed his efforts to allow undergraduates to use library stacks and to reduce the cost of Zerox copies in the library.
In a letter to Director of Libraries Archie L. McNeal, Yasser asked for an appointment to discuss stack access. “Accepting that it is not feasible at this time to allow undergraduates to remove periodicals from the library, I believe we should allow them to copy pages at little or no cost,” he said.
He told USG Council that undergraduates are only
second rate students jn/the library, and that honor.^rad-uate, and law students come first. But he said that Dr. McNeal has discussed the possibility of allowing seniors with a 2.5 average to use the stacks.

Undergraduate Student % I Government President Jim S Yasser said today that his 1 office has received several
I complaints about the voluntary attendance policy.
Yasser said that all students who feel that the I policy has been misinter-I preted should contact the I USG. office.
Weinkle announced two future UM programs, a Vietnam Moratorium, October 15, and a proposed Symposium of the Americas.
The Moratorium, a part of a nationally-organized campus program, will last 18 hours with activities planned for the entire day. Throughout the day there will be open microphones on the patio for discussion of the war.
The Symposium of the Americas will bring students from neighboring American nations and other U.S. campuses to UM for seminars on World and Inter-American affairs. The program is being guided by several U.S. Congressmen.
Stu Weiss, USG treasurer, reported that work is being done to alter the academic calendar for the purpose of scheduling exams before Christmas break. He said
that the Southern Association of Colleges and Universities does not require a specified number c* veefcs per semester for university accreditation, so an earlier exam schedule seems feasible.
Weiss said that several plans are being studied far the use of the campus during the possible month-long Christmas holiday. One plan is to hold a four week winter term for independent study. Another is to lease university facilities to private companies for conferences.
Also, two appointments were ratified at the meeting:
Ira Levy was officially appointed entertainment chairman and Sal Behar, assistant attorney general. Levy has been acting chairman since Bob Haroutunian resigned the post this summer. Behar replaces Paul Dibianci, who also resigned.
without a decal, he said.
USG President Jim Yasser outlined the proposed revisions for UM search and seizure policies made by an ad-hoc Committee headed by Joey Rudy, Director of Resident Student Development.
He has asked that the committee’s proposals be accepted as an interim policy until they receive formal approval from the administration.
Yasser said that the proposed policy will “recognize and respect” the student’s right of privacy, while the present one “sympathizes” with the student’s privacy.
“The authority for search and seizure is now in the hands of the head resident, but the proposed policy will allow the student chairman of the dormitory judicial board to decide if the room should be searched,” said Yasser.

New Party Planning Strike, Draft Counsel
By HARRY L. VISHKOFF
Of Thu Hurricfiiw stuff
“If nobody does anything, there should be some fun,” said Phil Williams, a leader of the New Party of Fla.
New Party, which is just getting started on the UM campus, is organizing, among other things, a “National slow-down,” designed to paralyze universities, businesses, and as much of the nation’s industry as possible.
Speakers at the Wednesday meeting of New Party include Bob Kunst representing the national organization, Phil Williams, who is not a UM student, and Tommy Donahue, an editor for the Miami Free Press.
New Party plans for the Miami area, as discussed by Kunst and Williams, included student strikes in the high schools and the UM, work slow-downs, draft counseling, and distribution of antiwar literature.
Another speaker spoke of the need for "reliable people in the area to do draft counseling.” He spoke of the need to help people planning
draft resistance and gomg to Canada to avoid the draft.
Kunst said that New Party “wants to do away with the draft altogether.” He went on to say that the New Party position calls for “an immediate pull-out from Viet Nam, with a cease-fire policed by an international force.
“There is definitely a trend toward a third party in this
country. We ran one candidate for office in Orange County, and we will continue to run candidates if the only other choice is the lesser of two evils," he said.
Kunst stressed the need for organization of the campus group and the importance of increasing membership. The group is planning a meeting for next Wednesday at 4 pm, and urges all interested students to attend.

Plans to organize an 18-hour “Teach-In on Vietnam” on October 15, will be discussed and formulated at a meeting Monday, September 22, at 7:30 p.m, in the second floor Lounge of the Whitten Student Union.
The “T e a c h-In” was planned as a response to the Vietnam Moratorium Committee which has been planning a strike against all classes and business on the nation’s campuses for October 15, as a protest against the Vietnam War.
Tentative plans for the “Teach-In" call for live bands and the availability of free speaking time for anyone who wishes to express their feelings on matters pertaining to Vietnam and related topics.
The organizer of the Teach-In, Marty Weinkle, vice-president of USG said, “Rather than strike against the University we would rather have a continuation of what we feel the University should be — a place where students can become actively involved In issue« of today
rather than simply absorbing an education in the class-
room.
Anyone interested in assisting in the organization of the Teach-In is ufged to attend the meeting Monday night.

The many facets of Uni-v e r s i t y governance were revealed as a panel of four expressed their opinions on the question of defining authority in this year’s first University Forum held Wednesday night in the Student Union.
The panel, consisting of UM President Dr. Henry King Stanford, Faculty Senate Chairman Dr. Carl Mc-Kenry, USG President Jim Yasser and Board of Trustees member Louis Hector, clarified the stands taken by their organizations.
"The Forum is intended to open lines of communication concerning controversial campus issues, and I feel it is a necessary and vital part of this campus,” Forum director Dr. Shepherd Faber explained to the audience.
The panel was in agreement concerning a need for definite areas of authority, but could not come to a conclusion as to how and where definitive lines are to be drawn.
USG President Yasser expressed the belief that students on this campus have no voice in the majority of decisions made.
They are forced to abide by rules and regulations of which they have had little or no influence, Yasser said.
While recognizing that procedures need to be made official, Yasser expressed his belief that the question centers on lack of a cooperative spirit within the University.
Board of Trustees member Hector affirmed the necessity of defining authority.
In explanation of the Board’s jurisdiction Hector explained, “Although the Board of Trustees does hold the legal title for the University and is legally responsible for its policies and actions, it (the Board) is probably the most easily disposed of segment of University life.”
Trustees are having to rethink their role in the running of a university, he said. Hector told students that one of the major responsibilities and difficulties of the Board is attempting to go beyond the strictly business end of a university and represent a unified student voice.
Faculty Senate Chairman
Dr. McKenry revealed that the Faculty Senate Charter grants jurisdiction in almost all university-student activities to the Senate.
These broad powers are in definite need of interpretation, he said.
Expressing his personal view, McKenry told students
that he feels the Faculty Senate should not be dealing in areas with which they have no concern.
However, he defended the powers granted to the Faculty Senate on the grounds that the universities are quickly becoming businesses which will eventually leave
policy decisions to the faculty level.
Areas of jurisdiction he felt that did not belong to the faculty include allocation of student activity fee funds, the determination of room entry and search and seizure procedures, plus the regulation and administration of campus food services.

Formal Rush Is Abolished For All UM Fraternities
By LINDA KLEINDIENST
Newt Editor
Interfraternity C o u n c il voted to abolish formal fraternity rush this week.
“We voted to remove the structure of fraternity rush and open rush on an unrestricted basis for all fraternities," said Tim Meany, 1FC
UM To Receive Lunar Rocks
UM^Avill receive within the next »two or three weeks a lunar sample from the Apollo 1 Inflight for investigation by research scientists at the Institute of Molecular Evolution.
After Dr. Sidney W. Fox, principal investigator, has returned from Houston with the sample, a press conference will be arranged by the UM News Bureau.
Dr. Fox and his co-principal investigators will be present to answer questions. The container in which the sample was conveyed will be taken to the conference, but the sample will have been removed to avoid the p6ssi-
bility of contamination and for safe-keeping.
Background information as to the work of the Institute and the investigation of the lunar sample will be available, as will photographs of the investigators and some of the instruments to be used in the investigation.
In Washington, spectators lined up like they had free tickets to the biggest hit on Broadway to see lunar samples there.
Cameras ready, they shuffled along red velvet ropes, cheerfully heeding the admonishment to keep the line moving folks.
And finally, there it was. Rock under glass.
One rock. Looking like an Idaho potato that fell through the barbecue grill into the ashes beneath. Silvery clamps that might have been swiped from surgery held it up. It had its own plastic dome and the whole works was in a fancy walnut stand with a glass bubble on top.
"It’s just a rock,” said a woman. “What did you expect?” asked her husband.
What it was, of course, was the first rock from the moon to be put on public display. There it stood, in the rotunda of the Arts and Industries Building of the Smithsonian Institution — a centerpiece for all the other wofjflrous relics of the 20th
Century like the. Wright Brothers plane, t$c 1917 Jenny, John Glenn’» Friendship 7 and the sp4ce suit Frank Borman wore last Chistmas when mem, could only go around the ")noon, not land on it.
“I think It's gorgeous.” said Mrs. Henry Chamell, who planned to go bacl( to Port Angeles, Wash., “and tell everybody I saw the moon rock.” Her further appraisal: “That’s the new color of shoes at Saks Fiflh Avenue.”
And Henry Chamell “Doesn’t look like much of * rock, does It?”

president.
During open rush at the beginning of the semester, 100 pledges were signed up.
In formal rush, the rush-ees, have to visit all the fraternity houses in groups. “Both the iraternities and the rushees were not satisfied with this arrangement,” said Meany. “So, we decided to continue open rush.”
During open rush, the rushee may visit any house he wants to visit, without being ushered arbund fraternity row in a group.
IFC’s decision came on Tuesday afternoon. “The houses had considerably more rushees going over on their own on Tuesday night as compared to the groups on Monday night,” Meany said.
Meany believes that t h e more unrestricted fraternities get with rush, the better off
they will be.
The decision passed the council with a “considerable number of votes.” \
