Chief Pounces On SDSer Invading Ashe With Gun
By TIM MURPHY
Of Tit» HtMTiC»«» *»«f»
Friday morning a UM student walked up the stairs in the Ashe Building. There was nothing unusual about this student as he passed the Registrar’s office other than one thing — under his arm was a paper bag with a muzzle of a machine gun sticking out the top.
One alert secretary promptly called Fred Doermor, ex-FBI agent who was recently named UM ‘head’ of Security. Meanwhile the student met up with SDS member Pete * Yaffe. The two waited for fellow SDSer Bob Weinberg.
Weinberg never showed. The two, puzzled by Weinberg’s delay, had to abandon the mission. At ■ least they thought they did — the 1 ex-agent had spotted them and was on their trail.
Doermor followed the militants” over to the Student Union.
There, the agent was able to question them as they stopped to rest in the breezeway after the chase.
“Hi! What’s in the bag?” nonchalantly asked the ex-FBI man.
“Why?” snapped Yaffe.
The security man repeated his question, and the “militants” asked his identity.
Doemor introduced himself and the armed students handed over the concealed weapon.
The ex-agent examined the contents of the bag — a toy machine gun.
"This looks exactly like a Thompson sub. Have you ever seen a Thompson sub?” asked Doermor sheepishly.
According to Yaffe the gun was to be used in a photo stunt at the Ashe Building involving Bob Weinberg. The stunt was a photo assignment for the Hurricane. Yaffe is a member of the paper’s photo staff.

Butler Changes Ruling On Soph’s Suspension
By MARK BERMAN Of Th» Hurrlcan» Stall
A petition bearing the signatures of 2,131 UM supporters of academic credit for the ROTC program on campus was presented to President Henry King Stanford last Friday.
Senior ROTC cadets, Richard Quirk and Ken Bell started the petition after Gadfly president Rocky Walters reported that out of 1935 students polled by the Gadflies, 62.8 per cent were opposed to ROTC courses with credit.
Both the petition and the poll were conducted in » week’s time.
Upon receiving the petition Dr. Stanford reassured the cadets that ROTC played a very important role on campus said Quirk.
“He was impressed with the turnout and was grateful to hear from our side," he said.
In answer to the Gadfly poll, Quirk told Dr. Stanford that a poll taken without University authority and signed in pencil is of “dubious validity.”
"There was much misunderstanding as to whether the Gadflies were conducting a poll or organizing a petition,” said Quirk.
The Gadfly grievance with ROTC is based upon its belief that ROTC is of ques-
Wike To Aid Doerner
David W. Wike, former UM head athletic trainer, will assume the post of Assistant Director of Security June 1, working with former FBI agent Fred Doerner, named Director of Security.
“My prime function will be as an administrator,” Wike said. “And I am very familiar with the administration procedures on the campus.”
Wike said the primary purpose of the newly-formed department will be “the protection of people and property.” The former athletic trainer said the specific duties of the Security department have not been determined and indicated that it will take some time to formalize the working arrangement.
“It’s a matter of taking over many administrative functions,” he said. “But we haven’t had time to determine our whole policy yet.”
Wike said he was “very impressed” with Doerner, whom he termed “very businesslike."
The post of Director of Security has been in existence for less than two weeks.
tionable academic content and therefore does not merit credit.
Quirk said that the Gadflies have narrowly defined the term academic. “We feel that ROTC is indeed an academic organization,” he said. “Under the Gadfly definition of academic many other courses on campus are not worthy of credit.”
“The word academic stems from the Greek word academy and one of the primary subjects taught in Greek
academies was military * •
.science,” said Bell. «'*■
The UM School of Engineering does not grant credit for ROTC courses. Quirk said that the reason for this is that the Engineering curriculum is very crowded, requiring 130 credits for a degree.
In a letter of reply to the Gadfly poll Dr. Stanford said, “The matter of academic credit for non-academic activities such as ROTC and the marching band was taken under advisement by the Academic Planning Committee earlier this semester.”
Part of the reason for the committee’s involvement in the ROTC question is to make UM’s policies concerning the matter uniform among the University’s schools.
President Stanford is expected to answer the poll and the petition once the committee reports its findings.
Throughout the polling period Walters emphasized that he was not an advocate of the removal of ROTC from campus. He has only been opposed to its present credit status.
During the hour-long discussion with Dr. Stanford the cadets said that the purpose of the University is to provide a liberal arts education rich in humanistic values and to provide the training necessary for future careers.
“ROTC is providing this training,” said Bell, "by

An Associate Professor of psychology confirmed today that many faculty members of the school of Arts and Sciences feel their division has been shortchanged in funds coming from the budget.
Dr. James Tedeschi said that members of his department as well as others in the school of Arts and Sciences are supporting Dean L. Me-Quitty’s efforts to gain more operating funds for the division.
“A memorandum has been circulated saying something to the effect that after over-

A decision by Dr. William Butler, vice president for Student Affairs, last week reversed a ruling of the Dean of Men’s office concerning Abraham Kalichman, UM sophomore accused of illegally obtaining and using a University meal ticket.
The original ruling by Dean Nicholas Gennett in Kalichman’s case called for immediate suspension from the university only three weeks before the end of the semester,
Kalichman turned an appeal into Dr. Butler’s office on Wednesday of last week and by Friday had a new decision on his case.
In a letter to Kelichman, Dr. Butler stated, "After careful consideration of your appeal, the decision has been made to modify the original

A unanimous petition from the psychology department and another from the department chairmen in the division was sent to administration officials recently, supporting McQuitty’s efforts.
McQuitty declined to comment on the subject.

“Therefore, instead of being suspended from the University of Miami, you are being placed on disciplinary prebation. The terms of your probation are to be defined by the office of the Dean of Mop.”
Dr. Butler said that he granted the appeal because “the original penalty was too
severe for the charges rendered.”
“I think it was the best decision that could have been handed down,” said Kalichman. “I know T w»s wrong and I’m lucky!” '’; *	/
