Miami Hurricane, July 13, 1962

              Changes To Come From Study
(This story is the result of an interview with Dr. Stanford which the entire editorial staff of Hurricane attended at the invitation of the president. —The Editors.)
Dr. Henry King Stanford, new UM president, presented himself to students as a man who is “extremely student conscious.”
He believes in lunching in the cafeteria with a group of students, taking time out of his busy schedule to see student representatives in his office and, in so doing, exchanging ideas with them for the betterment of the University.
Dr. Stanford is concerned about student morale and a lack of spirit. He plans to set up informal talks with student leaders to help answer any questions before they become disputes.
Answers to specific questions concerning problems will have to wait until he becomes more familiar with the situations, Stanford explained.
“Right now I still have to satisfy curiosity, he said. “People want <o know what I look like.”
Although new and still not completely acquainted with the University, Dr. Stanford has many ideas for advancement.
“The first thing we need, and need badly, are new facilities for science,” he said.
“Of course I am hopeful that we can expedite the Student Union,” he added. Then comes the science building.
Other areas which he hopes to make improvements in soon are the residence programs, the Institute of Marine Sciences and the Medical School.
Concerning the closing of the Foreign Center, Stanford admitted that he was not familiar with the reasons for this, but added “we ought to have some center.”
He also mentioned that he would look into the reasons for the early closing of the Soda Shop and investigate the possibilities of keeping it open longer in the evenings.
Although not having been associated with schools with prominent athletic programs, Stanford said he has no plans to de-empha-size sports at UM. But, he does intend to raise the academic standards.
“We must have a place in the academic sun to match the subtropical splendor,” he concluded.
Walk Softly; Carry Salt...
If your friends start coming up to you today and start throwing salt over your left shoulder don’t be surprised. It is only an attempt to keep the devil at a distance— today anyway.
It is that time of year again. Friday the 13th. And this unlucky sign carries a double whammy since it is founded on a modern belief.
Friday the 13th is the most common of all bad luck symbols. The number 13 is unlucky because it relates to those seated at the Last Supper and because Friday was the day of Christ’s crucifixion.

Bomber Wing Tanks may soon be built into a dock used by students to anchor boats in the Student Union lake. Earlier this week two B-47 wing tanks were sent here from the Homestead Air Force Base. The pontoons—24 feet long— are now on the lake banks and will be used by Norman “Chink” Whitten to build the boat dock.

Proposed New Bowl Doesn t Excite Gus

The fighting Hurricanes may hurl passes just off the Palmetto Expressway if Miami Commissioner Joseph X. DuMond’s proposal to build a new Orange Bowl is passed.
The proposal to tear down the present stadium and build a new one seating 70,000 near the Palmetto By-pass has received an informal O.K. by Miami commissioners. He suggested a 100-acre site between Tamiami Trail and N.W. 20th St.
DuMond referred to the old structure as an “architectural monstrosity and source of constant problems, parking and otherwise.”
Gus Comments
Coach Gustafson who noted that the University now pays the highest rent of any university for use of a stadium — over $1,000,000 — said that he would “rather see UM build their own stadium on campus seating 50,000.
“The day of the big stadium has passed; they’re getting to be white elephants,” he explained.
“Of course,” he continued, “I’m in favor of anything that will improve the University’s athletic program.” But he didn’t say whether he preferred remodeling the Orange Bowl or building a new stadium.
“If a new one were built,” he proposed, “it should have the front seats at least 10 feet above the playing level, with cross ventilation and an improved lighting system.”
Legal Aspects
City Attorney Robert Zahner who is looking into the legal aspect of the proposal said that there are several legalities that still must be considered.
The commission is looking into the possibility of obtaining a federal planning grant for the proposed construction.
The new Orange Bowl would be built with $4 million from sale of the present site, plus $2.2 million from bonds under the DuMond plan.

The elusive $16,647 profit due the University of Miami from the post season Liberty Bowl game against Syracuse in Philadelphia was finally received by UM officials.
The money, raised by Philadelphia’s Liberty Bowl Committee was the final payment of Miami’s share from last December’s football game.
Miami’s total share of the receipts amounted to $48,-786. Syracuse was due to receive an equal amount but the UM athletic office did not know if Syracuse had been paid.
The final payment came just before the July 1 deadline which had been set for settlement. If the money had not arrived the matter would have been turned over to the National Collegiate Athletic Association.
Last month the Liberty Bowl Committee said it had run out of funds and was trying to borrow money on next December’s gate receipts.
George Gallet, UM sports publicity director said he did not know where the Liberty Bowl Committee had raised the money. "And I'm not going to ask any questions either." he added.
Drawings by architect Robert M. Little, tentatively approved, provide for a three-story building with room for expansion and an extra two floors.
New Marine Research Lab Duplicates Sea Conditions
Included in the drawings is a two-level bookstore seven times larger than the present one. The first floor will contain gifts and clothing. Textbooks will be stored on the second level.

The third floor is to hold 13 partitional meeting rooms and four offices. The building will be air-conditioned.
A room for viewing television, a music library with listening rooms and a lounge with space for table tennis is planned.
The front of the Union will be converted into a mall when the center of Miller Road is removed. The two ends of the street will have traffic circles.
A new post office, swimming pool with sun deck, bowling alleys and billiard tables are also in the plans.
The present outdoor terrace vyill be enlarged to accommodate dances and school functions.
Architects have drawn up plans for a new $470,000 marine research laboratory in which sea life can be studied under artificial conditions.
The Controlled Environments Building will be located near the Institute of Marine Sciences. Construction is scheduled to start in a few months, according to Dr. F. G. Walton Smith, institute director, and is being financed by a $200,000 National Science Foundation grant and by private sources.
Scientists plan to duplicate conditions of the seas or create new environments. Complex instruments will record the specimen's reactions.
Research is expected to reveal why fish migrate, their system of navigation and why they prefer different bait at different times.
Facilities will let scientists
regulate temperature, salinity, oxygen and cloudiness of the water in tanks used in the building. The structure will have space for sea-water tanks so that the live specimens may be harmless-
ly taken from the ocean.
The Institute's facilities will be open to other University departments including psychology, zoology and physiology.

Dr. Robert Johns, executive vice president, said he had received a letter confirming the payment from Jack Harding, UM athletic director.
Harding is on vacation and could not be reached for further details.
Censorship Rule Out?
The Board of Trustee rul-* ing that all news releases I be cleared by the UM Public , Information Office is being | reconsidered.
The ruling, which drew 1 strong complaints of censorship from students, faculty and local press, will probably « be changed during the sum-’ mer, said Dr. Henry King 1 Stanford, UM president.
