Law May Allow Construction Of Fieldhouse
Car Space for Fall
Soon it may be possible to find a parking Bpace around UM.
Once the bulldozers and lumberjacks are through rearranging the parking lots, there will be about 800 more spaces on and around campus.
According to Mattew Borek, Physical Plant Assistant Business Manager, 400 of the new spaces will be in the "academic areas," and 400 in the dorm areas.
• ••
How many of the additional spaces will be for students and how many for professors and other school personnel is not yet determined.
After the work is completed, the trees now being removed will be replanted. The Landscaping Service assures us that there will be trees around the parking lots, so ardent conservationists need not worry.

The Florida State Legislature, by recently passing the Higher Educational Facilities Law, may have paved the way for the construction of UM’s long sought after fieldhouse, according to finance department chairman, Dr. William Heuson.
Funds would be acquired through the sale of tax-free bonds, issued by the proposed Dade County Educational Facilities Authority. The law provides for one such educational authority for each county, to finance both public and private university construction.
"If such funds are acquired, they will most likely be used to construct a new dorm or a parking structure,” said William McLaughlin, UM business manager.
Heuson suggested that the new structure be a fieldhouse -dormitory combination which could house students and serve as a convention center for visitors.
"The fieldhouse - dorm package would be income-producing, and thus would fit well into the municipal bond plan.”
Arguments in tavor ofthe fieldhouse are quite numerous and the basic
argument against it is lack of funds. Since UM is in need of student housing. Heuson suggested that combining the two structures would be the most effective way of solving both problems.
"In times of high building costs one frequently ha* to think in terms of multipurpose structures rather than single-purpose structures, in order to achieve maximum utility of space,” said Heuson.
At this point, acquisition of these funds is still only speculation. The Dade County Educational Facilities Authority has yet to be formed. But once the Authority is created, either by the County Commission or a Dade citizens’ petition, details could be resolved and the bonds issued.
A tax-free municipal bond is a debt acquired by a city or state to pay for schools, roads, hospitals or any other public works. Revenues or other income from the project are used to pay the interest and debt.
Investment banking firms bid on the bonds and absorb the risk of sales to Investors. The income received by investors is free from federal income tax.
McCoy Appointed To Replace Halloran
William McCoy, assistant Dean of Men, was appointed coordinator for the Fraternity System last week.
His plans include a program to present the fraternities in a "positive light” for the incoming students.
McCoy will be meeting with all the fraternity pres-
idents and with Tim Meany, IFC president to formulate fraternity plans for the Fall.
McCoy explained that a new Rush program is being planned in the hopes that fraternity life on the UM campus will play a more important part for the whole student body.
Legal Action Initiated
State Attorney Subpoenas To Question 960 Incident
The State Attorney’s office has issued some 30 to40 subpoenas for questioning and investigation into the storming of the 960 Residence Hall last month.
"We are presently in the process of questioning those parties involved in the incident and will be doing so for at least another week,” Assistant State Attorney Ira Dubetsky toldthe Hurricane.
After questioning and study of a Coral Gables Police report of the incident, Dubetsky will then decide if there is enough evidence or reason to file charges against any individuals.
Coral Gables Police Sergeant Lou Mertz explained, "The case has been placed in the hands of the State Attorney’s office. If they feel there is just cause and suf-
firient evidence for a case, he will file charges. If not, then he can either drop the case or turn it over to the Dade County Grand Jury for further study.”
The Grand Jury will then have the option of serving an indictment for prosecution or dismissal of the case.
The subpoenas were issued almost one month after the Coral Gables Police re-
Tedeschi Leaves UM; Gets Grant To Study
By MARJORIE GROSS
of the Hurricane staff
Dr. James Tedeschi, widely known for his controversial activities on campus, is leaving UM.
TTie psychology professor who terms himself a majority of one, has received a $60,-000 grant and will study the social influence process of threats and promises beginning in September at the United States International University at San Diego.
Reflecting on his years at UM, 41-year-old Tedeschi said that he’s sorry to be leaving the University where he spent some of his time as a student.
Sponsor of SDS at UM until it disbanded the first time, Tedeschi has spoken out strongly against the Vietnam War and nuclear armament.
Smiling Tadaschi
"I was about five years ahead of my time in voicing opinions about Vietnam in 1963,” said Tedeschi, who has been quieter this year.
"Now I feel that popular opinion is on my side and
Fall Student Body Highly Diversified
UM is a diverse melting pot for students from 50 states, one territory and 67 foreign countries, commented George Smith, UM Registrar.
Florida, of course, is first in the number of students, 6,185. The next three leading states are: New York, 1,716; New Jersey, 969; and Pennsylvania, 622.
The top three foreign countries represented at UM are Cuba (students on F-visas ), 40; Canada, 30 and China, 22.
The one territory, Puerto Rico, has only one student attending UM.
Total figures on each class last September were: Freshmen	3,223
Sophomore	2,210
Junior	3,258
Senior	2,451
U nclassified	1,251
MEN	10,914
WOMEN	6,235

Smith explained that there will be a slight increase of new students this Fall.
"And once the new state university is finished there will be a pull-out of many local students, but it should not hurt UM because 70-80 per cent of students admitted are from out-of-state.”
Smith also mentions that most students from Florida go to Miami-Dade Jr. College for the first two years
and transfer over as juniors to UM.
The UM faculty is made up of many noted scholars such as Frederick Fennel, conductor, and Foy Kohler, former ambassudor to the Soviet Union. The UM faculty numbers 952 with 73 per cent of them holding Doctorates. The faculty comes from 49 states and 74 foreign countries.
There will be 17,500 students attending the University this Fall — some 2,400 are incoming freshmen.
my voice is not needed as much.”
Tedeschi, who has advocated "universally friendly overtures” toward Communist nations, said that any organization wishing to pursue basic changes should be allowed on campus as long as it operates legally.
"A university should not attempt to suppress any voice. Communists should be given a chance to speak. It’s a good thing for people to 'see their irrationality.''
Tedeschi has said that he is "militantly militant.”
"Everyone should be militant about something. I’m militant on behalf of the truth.”
One of Tedeschi’s concerns has been discrimination in athletics at UM. Several years ago, he wrote a letter to Dr. Martin Luther King asking him not to give a lecture here because of discrimination against black athletes.
"This was probably my biggest misunderstanding with the administration. They thought I didn’t care if I harmed the University. That’s not so — my biggest concern has been to benefit the University.”
Tedeschi admitted that at all times UM has allowed him to do his own thing.
"I’m disappointed, not mad at the University,” said Tedeschi.
"When I became a professor, I wanted to help the University develop.”
Now with two black athletes on the football team, Tedeschi said there have been definite changes, but UM still has a long way to go.”

UM Co-ed Rates Honors
Owen Williams, UM’s entry in the Miss Black America of Florida contest, injured her leg two nights before the pageant but carried off two honors.
She won the swimsuit competition and was chosen Miss Congeniality by the other girls in the contest last Saturay.
"I’m very happy and grateful, but I’m even happier to get back to a normal life again and especially my work,” said Gwen.
"The friends I made were more important than any title 1 might have won.”
port was turned over to the State Attorney on July 18. . . .approximately six weeks after the lobby of the 960 complex was Invaded by "30 to 40 angry Blacks, at least two of whom are believed to have been armed.”
The assault of 960 on July 1 was apparently sparked by an incident which occurred early in the morning of June 26, two days earlier, between two black youngsters and a white couple returning to the dormitory.
Two nights later, after another flare-up of the same argument, 35 to 40 Blacks stormed into the lobby ofthe 960 complex to apparently head for the tower and the football team with whom the argument had been sparked.
The group was led by an
unidentified male armed with
a shotgun.
No actual conflict arose and the Blacks retreated from the building after threatening an on-duty advisor who had picked up a telephone.
Names of the subpoenaed were not released to the Hurricane.
