Homecoming Tickets Keep Students In Line
The Student Union Breezeway usuatty noted for its cluttered tables, and proselytizing leaflets took on a new look this past week as mattresses, lounge chairs, and TVs lined the walls in preparation for the first sale of Homecoming tickets Monday morning.
TKE fraternity started the waiting line at 10:00 o’clock last Tuesday, and other fraternities surprised by TKE’s unexpected coup, were quick to follow.
In second place is Phi Delta Theta, in third place is Sigma Chi, in fourth place are representatives from the 1968 Complex, and in fifth place is AEPi.
The fraternity mattresses are staffed mostly by pledges while most of the volunteers from the 1968 Complex are members of the Girl’s Hall Council and the Boy’s Board of Governors.

Day Of Peace Termed Peaceful

An anonymous bomb threat received by telephone Tuesday night was the only serious incident that threatened the security of the UM campus during the moratorium according to Head of Security, Fred Doerner.
Doerner felt that there was adequate security for the moratorium, as evidenced by the lack of any serious incidents.
Doerner said he was unaware of the presence of any off-campus police. However, Hurricane reporters Identified a plainclothes Coral Gables police detective and a Coral Gables police sargeant who was out of uniform.
According to Doerner there was no specific plan for dealing with any violent outbreaks. The occurence of any violence would have been analyzed on the basis of the immediate surrounding circumstances and then appropriate action would have been taken.
While thousands participated in the candlelight march a Coral Gables detective arrested three juveniles for stealing from parked cars on the campus.
For the entire duration of the moratorium.* the Gablet
Police received no complaints or calls.
Doerner himself was “very happy that the moratorium was orderly.”
and watch the people go by, especially if you like to watch girls,” said TKE pledge Murray Foster of Belair, Maryland.
“We’re second in line, but first in spirit,” said the Phi Delt pledge Jim LaLonde.
“We didn’t think everybody else would start so early,” said Terry Solie of third place Sigma Chi.
“We’re going to ’sell’ tickets at a table set up downstairs in the dorm,” said Trish Redmond, Secretary of the Girls Hall Council. “The number of tickets we’ve ‘sold’ by 12:00 a.m. Sunday is the number of tickets we will buy on Monday,” she said.
When asked how he passed the time, AEPi pledge Paul Herman, said, “Just looking at girls.”
The Vietnam Moratorium is history. But its meaning, its impact, its results are certain to be debated for a long time to come.
Was it a new weapon to force government to respond to the will of the people? Was it a betrayal of the President’s quest for peace and the men fighting in Vietnam?
And what will follow new demonstrations planned for November and December?
There was no way of knowing what impact the moratorium had on President Nixon, whose director of communications, Herbert G. Klein, said:
“I don’t think the President can be affected by a mass demonstration of any kind. If the President surrenders himself to the point where he responds to demonstrations, then he’s not the President the people elected.”
But the Rev. Ralph David Abernathy, president of the Southern Christian Leadership Conference, expressed the attitude of many participants.
“Nixon hears us and sees us also,” he said, “If he does not see today, then we’ll come back again in November and we’ll come back again in December. We’ll be back again and again and again.”
What was the meaning of the moratorium? Those who took part in the demonstrations, those who opposed them and those who watched it and studied it — philosophers, celebrities with strong political feelings, senators, professors, government officials and community leaders — all had their own opinions.
Here are some of them gathered from around the country.
FORMER SECRETARY OF DEFENSE CLARK M. CLIFFORD:
“I think it was a remarkable manifestation of the intensity with which the American people wanted to make known their opposition to the war in Vietnam. It was vastly broader than just a student demonstration. I thought the major thrust of the effort that had such a

Nov. M-Day Plans Under Way
By PAUL BARGER Of The Hurricane Staff
Early this week there will be a meeting to finalize plans for the November Moratorium.
Plans have not yet been formulated by the National Vietnam Moratorium Committee.
On the UM campus, activities for November are not expected to be as extensive as were those for the October Moratorium, according to committee chairmen Marty Weinkle and Peter Yaffe,
The emphasis of the November Moratorium will be mainly on education rather than a day of planned protest. The activities will he aimed at Informing community members, young and old, of the Vietnam War.
Plans call for more speakers to be present at the November Moratorium.
“The National Committee

is planning a mass protest to take place in Washington D.C. on November 13 and 14, Yaffe said. The leaders are expecting a turnout of 200,-000 in the two-day demonstration.
There will be a march passing in front of the White House where the names of the war dead will he read by individuals marching past. The march will terminate in Arlington National Cemetery.
For those who so desire there will be buses available ...... ......................-
for transportation to Washington to participate in the protest. “As many buses as we can fill, we will send to Washington,” Yaffe said. Weinkle feels that the march in Washington will be a “great unifying factor” in the protests for peace.
The activities on campus will be for the thousands that cannot make the trip to the Capitol. A table will be set up in the Breezeway sometime this week with information concerning the November protest.
According to Yaffe, the emphasis will continue to be on peaceful protest. “We will not tolerate militant protest ... we have achieved more in October through peaceful protest than we ever could through violent protest," he said.
He felt that more people from all walks of life had been reached by the use of peaceful measures than could have been otherwise.
The results of the October moratorium at UM pleased
Weinkle and Yaffe, however Weinkle would still like to see what the total effect was on the nation. He felt It must have had a great effect on Nixon and Congress.
Yaffe said that the effect of the local moratorium was to “bring the war home” to the students on campus. Weinkle said “the times are changing” and that “something was needed to awaken the UM — the moratorium did it.” The moratorium was a “great awakening” according to Weinkle.
Both Weinkle and Yaffe felt that the success of the October moratorium will be instrumental in making November an even greater success. People are now no longer afraid to become involved, according to Yaffe. Weinkle said that undoubtedly more people will become involved because” there are a lot who were waiting in the background to observe how the first protest went, and who would now be anxious to participate.”

An inquiry into alleged faculty non-compliance with UM’s newly revised attendance policy will be completed within the next three weeks, USG Attorney General Louis Tripoli announced this week.
The probe which was instigated by over 75 student complaints, is being carried out by the Class Attendance Policy Investigation Committee headed by Deputy Attorney General Sal Behar.
Actions by the teaching staff which are under investigation include the practice of giving “pop" quizzes without the opportunity for make-ups, dropping students from the roll if they exceed three absences, and drawing test questions more from lecture material than from required texts.
In additoon Tripoli cited reports of professors taking roll after their departments have voted not to, or simply a lack of uniform policy among the teachers of a single department.
“The Speech Department allows three cuts but each cut after that is left to the discretion of the individual professors, thus there is no uniform policy here,” he said.
Some of the report’s findings, thus far, disclosed that some students in the Engineering Dep’t. must submit homework assignments every day. “In this way Engineering students must attend class every day. Homework assignments cannot be turned in by other students.”
A student questionnaire on class attendance policies will also be formulated and distributed by the committee.
The committee also intends to conduct a survey “to see if students who don’t go to class often, do better or worse than students who do,” he said.
The committee’s technique is to question Deans or department heads on their department’s attendance policy. Teachers are then questioned and as “some won’t cooperate, we have to go to the students,” said Tripoli.
“If we find out there are many violations we’ll go to President Stanford,” he said and added that violations of attendance policy are “disgraceful and totally unjust.”
The findings of the investigatory body will be turned over to USG President Yasser with the committee’s recommendation.
“The Attorney General’s office requests any student who believes that possible class attendance violations have occurred to please inform the student government," said Tripoli.
