              Professorship Chair Created
Students Give $50,000 For
By JACK GUARN1FJU Hurricm News filter
In a special meeting of the Undergraduate Student Council this week, students voted unanimously to accept a resolution to place $50,000 in a fund for the purpose of creating a basic endownment. The endowment will be the foundation for the establishment of "The Undergraduate Student Government Professorship Chair on International Affairs.”
The contribution by the students is the first step toward reaching the ultimate goal referred to as the “Quarter-Million Dollar Challenge.”
A $250,000 sum is the amount which the Chair committee will be aiming for in order to carry out their program.
According to Bill Frey, originator of the plan, the chair was designed to bring outstanding professionals and educators from various fields of national and international affairs to lecture at UM for a semester. Classes could be scheduled in Beaumont Lecture Hall or University College in order to accommodate as many as 2,000 students.
Professors’ salaries would come from a trust which would evolve from the success of the "Quarter-Million Dollar Challenge.”
The original principle of this fund woul i not be used—merely the interest would provide for salaries.
The $50,000 will be taken from student funds already available and not yet earmarked for use.
Bill Cornell, USG president, has announced that letters will be sent from Philadelphia "chal-leging" the parents to match the amount donated by their sons and daughters. This will mark the national launching of the "Quarter-Million Dollar Challenge” at the same time UM is in Philadelphia for the Liberty Bowl game.
The challenge will also be extended to various national foundations and community leaders.
Two students will be selected to represent the University in Philadelphia next weekend.

Undergraduate Student Government recognizes the fad that the University of Miami has emerged as the huh of both national and international academic activity.
University students feel a definite need for an expanded scholastic program which will encourage awareness and understanding of the problems and events of this dynamic age.
Realizing the need to have a better understanding of the problem which faces this and future student bodies, the students have taxed themselves in order to make this program for "International Professorship Chairs" a reality.	—Bill Frey

Un-Stickered Vehicles Will Cost You
By SHARON O'BRIEN
Monday will mark the opening of an intensive crackdown on student car owners who have not purchased parking stickers. Any un-stickered cars on campus will be towed away, according to Undergraduate Student Government and the Physical Plant.
“There are 5,600 cars on campus, and about 200 arc not registered. Since the physical plant cannot track down all of these students individually, they will tow the cars away. Students can get their cars back by calling Dean of Students Nobel Hendrix," explained USG president, Bill Cornell.
“We can't identify all these people as students, but the police have been documenting the cars by license plates,” said John O’Day, director of the Plant.

Decision Left Up
By MIKE MUNZELL
Dr. Charles D. Tharp, vice president of academic affairs and dean of faculties, sent the following memorandum to all faculty members last weekend, at the j request of student leaders.
“That students who miss classes to attend the Liberty Bowl not be penalized with double cuts, etc., for so doing if they present evidence to their instructors that they actually attended the game.
“The students also hope that no examinations will be especially scheduled for Dec. 15, 18, lit, and 20: and that if already-scheduled examinations are given, the students may be permitted to make up, without penalty, the examinations they miss because of attendance at the game.”
After the distribution of this memo some instructors changed plans, but most saw no need for alteration.
Dr. William B. Munson, UC Social Science director, stated, “I have exams slated for Dec. 15 and
For Early Liberty To Each Student
Dec. 18. There will be no makeup for students unless they have an official excuse from the dean of men or the dean of women.
“I don't consider attendance at the Liberty Bowl a valid excuse. To postpone the exams would he wholly impractical." Munson remarked.
Dr. Melanie R. Rosborough, | chairman of Foreign Languages, commented, “I have no tests planned for Dec. 15 to 20 except a proficiency exam on Dec. 16 for language majors. I never give regular tests on the week before Christmas. I’m not making an [ exception because of the football game, it's just not my policy to give exams on those days."
Dr. John I. McCollum, head of the English department, shared this practice. "1 don’t usually give tests on the week before Christmas. I had not planned any exams and I won’t reschedule any for those days. If a student cuts classes for the game, the responsibility of making up the work will lie on the individual," he | said.
The burden of decision is now
shifted to the student. The individuals who have tests scheduled will have to decide whether or not to chance failing an exam in order to support the football team.
