HEP (High School Equivalency Program) students and faculty met in a closed meeting Tuesday morning at the 1968 auditorium to discuss the students’ grievances, including the dismissal of two HEP students.
The students had marched into UM President Dr. Henry King Stanford’s office last Monday to protest the dismissal of the students.
Stanford told the group
that he could do nothing about the situation unless It was first taken to H. Noval Jones, director of the program and Dean Berry, of the School of Education.
“Everything was a misunderstanding," said Fidel Gomez, president of the HEP Student Council. “The com-plaining students didn’t know what was going on. but the meeting informed them and everyone left satisfied.”
Pat Griffin was dismissed from HEP after breaking rules. Kenneth Mencey was dismissed because he has a full time job which is against the program’s policy.
“Kenny has the job because he owes a lawyer $500 and he must earn the money,” said Otis Kitchen, vice-president of Miami Black Arts. “He is only two points away from passing his GED, but now he must leave the dorm and his new environment will not be conducive to studying.”
“I feel that other grievances were not gone into at the meeting and students appeared to be satisfied because they were afraid the program would be abolished if they spoke up,” Kitchen said.
HEP, a government program was started at UM in August, 1968. Students from underprivileged homes as far away as Texas, are given the chance to get a degree equivalent to a high school diploma. Room and board is given to the students, who must live in UM dorms. They also receive a weekly $10 stipened.
Cohen Calls Meeting Of Cabinet
Temporary USG Attorney General Murray Cohen, yesterday, was scheduled to hold the year’s first USG
I Cabinet meet-•	the
B purpose of evaluating the Lju. j i functioning of Wf&'l	USG so far.
The meeting -	; was called on
Wednesday by i Cohen, who at the same time COHEN	submitted his
resignation from USG should President Jim Yasser refuse to allow Cohen to call the meeting or "in any way interfere with its functioning.”
“I am calling the meeting because 1 feel it is a necessity,” Cohen commented.
In his letter of provisional resignation to Yasser he told the USG head, "Normally I would agree with you that it is the prerogative of the President to call a Cabinet Meeting.
“However, in this case what is best for the operation of Student Government and in turn for the students must be more important than the prerogatives of your .office,” he said.
Yasser told the Hurricane that he had no intentions of firing Cohen, but that no Cabinet meeting would be held.
He had previously fired Attorney General Lou Tripoli when two weeks ago he attempted to call a Cabinet meeting on his own authority.

Stanford Joins UM’s Gadflies For An Informal Talk Session
UM Frat Asks For Blood
By BARBRA FIELDS Huriicano Copy Idltor
Zeta Beta Tau fraternity is extending an open invitation to blood donors on the UM
campus.
Any organization, Greek, social or interest in the University is invited to donate as r uch blood as they can and possibly win a 6’ rotating trophy.
Mount Sinai Hospital is sponsoring the drive and is donating the use of bloodmo-biles at any time for any organization ^hat requests one. '.
“The objective is to challenge all UM organizations’ Greeks and social to give the most pints of blood to the drive,” said ZBT brother, Andy Carver last week.
Carver, a transfer student from George Washington University in Washington, D.C.. explained how the idea was first proposed.
"It was the idea of ZBT President Paul Brown. At first it was to be part of Homecoming, but we felt we could get more people into the act as a separate drive,” Carver said.
“ZBT wanted to show that the fraternity system could get together and do some-thing constructive,” he added.
The drive begins Monday, November 24 and terminates on December 12. Any organization interested in donating blood can call Dave Schui-man at the Mount Sinai Blood Bank at 532-3611, Ext 3307, or Andy Carver at 666-4017.
“This is going to be an annual thing,” Carver added. "An individual's donation enables him to get blood from any bank in the world for the best of his life,” he added.
“A running account of each organization’s activity will be broadcast and published by local media.
Tempo Had A Problem
By IRIS HOROWITZ
Hurricane Rtsortor
Tempo magazine had a delay in distribution because of publication difficulties. The magazine was planned for November 12, but appeared November 19.
The initial problem was caused by a break down of the printing presses by their publisher and when the employees had to work overtime, they reportedly procrastinated in printing the Tempo.
According to Mary Fiksel, editor of the Tempo, the employees objected to the use of the poster stating "Wanted-Jesus Christ." Organizations such as the Crusaders for Christ and the southern student’s Baptist Association use the same poster; however, Tempo was called an "anti-Christ" magazine by the employees.
“The magazine has come a long way. A talented, dedicated staff is working together to give the students a great magazine," Mary said.

UM President, Dr. Henry King Stanford, was the guest panelist at the informal session of the Gadflies Tuesday night. Dr. Stanford discussed his views regarding the financial situation of the Uni-
versity, the Vietnam war and Moratoriums, and various campus problems.
"The main responsibility of the University President is leadership, if one can define that; not of command, but of enthusiasm. Also, to promote good will,” he stated. “It’s a
complex office, that’s why people leave it so soon."
President Stanford has been with the University for eight years and stated he has no pians to leave.
A student asked Dr. Stanford what he felt were the main reasons for campus disorders. He replied, “It is the impatience of students in
Moon Rocks On View
By HARRY VISHKOFF
Of Tho Hurricane Staff
Moon rocks, brought back by astronauts on the Apollo 11 mission, will be on public view Tuesday, Nov. 25, at 8 p.m., in the Flamingo Ballroom of the Student Union.
Doctor Sidney W. Fox, professor of biochemistry and director of the UM’s Institute of Molecular Evolution, will be speaking on “Lunar Sample Analysis and the Origins of Life.”
This will be the first time that »the rocks will be shown to the public in Florida.
Doctor Fox is the principal investigator under a National Aeronautics and Space Administration grant to study samples from the moon for evidence of molecular evolution.
"While landing men on the moon and returning them to earth was a very impressive achievement," said Dr. Fox,” the big steps for the scientists will be the studies that will lead to a better understanding of the universe.”
securing change on campus.”
When questioned about the financial operations of Slaters Food Service and why a report of their activities could not be released to the entire student body, but only to special organizations such as USG, Dr. Stanford replied, “The reason for the secrecy is an oral agreement between Mr. Cohen and Slaters because the UM is getting a better deal than other universities.”
Another student added that there is a survey underway between Saga and Slaters board plans with the intention of eliminating sophomores and juniors from the mandatory plan.
Dr. Stanford also discussed the south campus of UM and its relationship to the main campus. He explained that the land is not owned by the University, but is leased from the government and is used by the medical school for various research programs.
The high prices of the book store, money for sports grants in aid and the building of a new field house were questioned.
Dr. Stanford was asked to relate his views on the Vietnam situation and the two Moratoriums. “The two Moratoriums were carried out in an orderly fashion on this campus, in fact I wrote Marty Weinkle and commented on the manner in which they were carried nut. In Washington, it was reasonably orderly although people took matters into their own hands here and there,” he stated.
“I’m confused about the war in Vietnam. I don’t believe all the United States has to do is play dead and the problem is solved. Wrongs must be righted in the world, we can’t just yield to the world," he said.
A new room visitation policy recehed full student support early this week as USG and AWS endorsed an MRHA proposal to extend hours and areas of visitation i n the men’s r e s i d e n ce halls.
The policy, in effect, would permit women students in the living areas of men students between the hours of 2 p.m. and 2 a.m., Sunday through Saturday inclusive.
“Our proposal has been approved by every student organization concerned and will now rest solely in the hands of the Administration.” MRHA President Mark Krasnow has stated.
We feel that it is wrong to deny resident students the rights and privileges that would be theirs had they chosen not to attend college, he said.
“The right to entertain guests in private is extended to people in all walks of American life, with the exception of enlisted members of the armed forces, students in some college residence halls, and criminals in prison . . . and even these are changing,” the policy points out.
We will be working under a new philosophy of on campus residence, Krasnow explained.
The new proposal states that “what the resident students are asking for, in effect, is their basic right to privacy.
"We believe that the mission of a modern University should be to prepare its students for meaningful roles in the society of which we are a part.”
The policy proposal was created after inquiries were made to the student body, the resident advisors, a random sampling of parents, a national housing survey, and
Proposal
Endorsed
USG Council unanimously endorsed MRHA’s request for an extension of visitation privileges in men’s residence hails, Monday.
The visitation proposal calls for permitting women students to visit men’s living units from 2 p.m. to 2 a.m. every day of the week.
It states that women must be escorted to and from the room they are visiting and all students involved must observe dress regulations at all times.
The proposal also gives each floor or house permission to vote on restricting its visitation privileges in any way.
The request will be submitted to the administration.
Council also voted to accept Pete's Bailbonds Service for the new USG bailbond program.
The new program provides for payment of single bonds of up to $2000 and will operate on a $10,000 budget.
consultation with University legal counsel.
According to facts presented in the proposal, almost seventy per cent of universities polled by a national housing survey (approximately 262) had a bedroom visitation policy.
An attempt to establish a room visitation policy first began last year when an evaluation of lounge visitation revealed a general student desire for a more extensive visitation program.
An informal MRHA committee was established over the summer to discuss ideas of how such a policy would be implemented and the present proposal is a result of the committee’s findings,
Krasnow told the Hurricane that he expects to present the policy to Dean of Students. Dr. Nicholas Gen-nett on Monday.
“What I am hoping is that it will be handled in the same manner as was the issue of search and seizure — on the authorization of the Director of Resident Student Development, Joel Rudy.
“As I see it, room visitation is no greater an issue than search and seizure and if it becomes such, it is by an overactive imagination and not by substance,” he said.
SAFAC
Increases 5Cane $
In a five to four vote, thè
Student Activity Fee Allocation Committee (SAFAC) voted to appropriate an additional $12,768 to the Miami Hurricane, raising the activity fee allotment to slightly under five cents per issue of the campus newspaper.
The decision, which will raise the 'Cane fee allocation from 70 cents to $1.28 per student each semester, was made after a two and a half hour debate over what amount should be granted to the campus paper from this year's five dollar Student Activity Fee increase.
Hurricane Editor Larry Snyder and Business Manager Craig Gorson had requested $18,600 from the committee to cover both increased printing and operational costs.
This was the fourth such increase granted to SAFAC this year. In earlier decisions, Tempo, the university magazine, was allocated an additional 7.5 cents per student ($1650); the UM yearbook. Ibis, was granted 43 cents ($9,460); and USG received an additional 32 cents per student ($7,040).
The figures are based on an estimated 22,000 students paying the activity fee of $50 each semester.
The committee also discussed the idea of hiring a SAFAC auditor for the purpose of keeping track of Student Activity Fee Allocations.
A motion to hire such an auditor was tabled until the next meeting, which will be held Tuesday at 8 p.m.
