Give ’Em The Needle ’ Says Coed

"G*e, it’s a shame the faculty couldn't have gotten needle«,” said one bitter coed, as «he disappointedly watched the lineup of faculty members receiving their doeea of the Cox vaccine.
Last Tuesday and Wednesday the faculty, staff, their families and those students who were not inoculated during registration, received the vaccine in the Merrick Building.
According to one physician, an estimated 24.000 received the cherry - flavored liquid at vari- i ous places throughout the city this week. Hiis brought the total of persons inoculated to more than 40,000.
Approximately 80 per cent of school children in Greater Miami will have received the vaccine before the mass experiment is concluded. It is the UM and Dade County Medical Association's goal to immunize 520,000 Dade Coun-tians under 40
“The vaccine will be offered to everyone under forty in an effort to make Dade County com- j pletely free of polio,” said Dr Eugene Flipse, director of the Student Health Center and chairman of the program.

They got it By George, they got it.
And they took it. And they ran with it.
This paraphrasing of a hit song("The Rain in Spain'Jfrom the long-run Broadway show “My Fair Lady,” might well summarize the abbreviated visit of the road company’s stars to the UM campus Tuesday.
The actors, it seems, were scheduled to visit the University, receive “certificates of appreciation” and to give a “free" performance of their talents for the students.
Two hundred students gathered around the Student Union boxing ring for the advertised show. Ingemar Johannsen couldn’t have scored a quicker knockout.
They merely took their certificates and left.
NOT ONLY didn't the stars, Diane Todd, Michael Evans and Margaret Banneman, display their wares, but they even refused to answer student questions.
“I'm sorry, hut we have to get back," was one of the star's

“I guess we tried to Ret something for nothing,” said Asst. Director of Student Activities Norman ‘‘Chink’’ Whitten.
It seems that the well-advertised flop had resulted from a call by the actors’ agent to the University, offering a free personal appearance. “They will do Cockney skits about their language

Fifty freshmen have been convicted of Dink-dodging.
“Students were chared both for not wearing their Dinks, and not knowing the required poem verbatim," reports Jerry Levy, chancellor of the Student Court.
Offenders will lie assigned various tasks to do as service for Undergraduate Association.
Drudgery is not the fate of all Dink-dodgers, however. Take the case of the female frosh who was stopped by a male upperclassman.
The coed, on interrogation, was discovered to have come from the same home town as her interrogator. Result: a Saturday night date between the Dink-dodger and the duty-doer.

The Undergraduate Association quickly snapped up the project as an adjunct to its culture series.
“They said that if we gave them certificates as 'souvenirs' to take back to England that a show will tie forthcoming," Whitten said. “The way it turned out was either the agent's fault or mine, not UA's."
"The way it turned out" was short and not sweet. "They didn’t exactly display the 'show-must-go-on' attitude," a UA spokesman commented.
IT WENT like this. The trio arrived on campus, saw the signs advertising their "skits” and “hit the ceiling." They then strode to the boxing ring, received their certificates from speech professor Dr. Raymond Van Dusen, said thanks, and left

For the first time students have a chance to make their voices heard by the faculty and administration on campus problems.
Joint conferences have been set up among students, faculty and members of the administration for the purpose of talking over campus issues.
“We felt that student opinion was not being appreciated as much as it possibly could be. We organized these conferences so we could inform the faculty and administration about problems," said Jim Blosser, Undergraduate Association president, one of the initiators of these conferences.
MEMBERS of the administration j attending the conferences are.
President Jay F. W Pearson,
! Dr. C. Doren Tharp, vice-president and dean of the faculties, Dean Grover Noetzel of the Business Scnool. Dean of Students Nobel Hendrix, Dean Paul Vonk of the new University College, Dr. Thurston Adams, director of Student Activities, and Frank B. | Lucas, assistant dean of the j School of Engineering.
Faculty members present included: Carl Selle, assistant professor of English; Dr. James C. Vadakin, professor of economics; Joseph Von Arx, associate professor of business law; Dr. Mary Flosom, assistant professor of elementary education, and William Shaw, associate professor of ! English.
"We hope to bring to the attention of this committee various factors of campus life and activity that need discussion and possible consideration or even revision of policy.” said Blosser.
The committee which has already met twice, is considering such topics as the lack of support of the honor code and honor
council in certain areas of the administration and faculty; the possibility of having a break between the end of class and the start of final exams and the semester system versus the quarter system.
“WE ARE striving to pull three diverse entities together into a

more harmonious relationship around a table where the communication between them is more direct than it has been," said the UA president.
Various student leaders from campus organizations have been attending the conferences as representatives of the student body.
"We hope by these conferences to get an exchange between students. faculty and administtation that is not possible in any other way on a campus as large as this," said Dr Tharp, who helped arrange the conferences on the administrative level.
“Students can submit topics for discussion by dropping them in the suggestion boxes around campus or dropping by the UA office and telling us what is troubling them The success of this project will be determined by student help and response in keeping us informed of campus problems.” said Blosser.
