The Otto G. Rickter Library Building is scheduled to be completed May 20.
The nine-story building started over a year ago is in the final stages of completion. Outside, a facade of blue-green ceramic tile is being applied. Inside, only the flooring is unfinished.
The 75 workers of the M. R. Harrison Construction Corporation will put on the finishing touches this week and begin their part of the landscaping next week.
The parking will receive its final cover of asphalt from the Troupe Bros. Inc. by the end of this week.
According to Mr. Overholt of the M. R. Harrison Co., the only major obstacles that hampered library construction were the deliveries of special building materials such as light fixtures, ceramic tiles and stainless steel.

Myers Goes West As Dean
By MIKE MUNZELL Hurricane Assistant News Editor
Stuart Myers, adviser to the Interfraternity Council and counselor for men, has accepted the position of assistant dean of students at the University of California in Berkeley.
“I have enjoyed working with the fine young men in UM’s IFC," he said. “The experience I have gained here at this dynamically changing university has been of great value both personally and professionally.”
Myers, 30, who came to UM in July of 1960, will leave June 1. His appointment becomes effective July 1. Before taking his present position at UM, he served as assistant dean of men at Kent State University in Ohio. He had also been a social studies teacher at Charles F.

The adviser got his B.A. and M.A. degrees at Kent State, and did part-time doctoral work at Western Reserve University in Cleveland. He has served four years active duty in the Air Force at Keesler Field in Mississippi. He is married and has one child.
Since coming to Miami, Myers has worked as a liason between the administration and the IFC, the governing body of all social fraternities on campus. “During these two years the IFC has shown its maturity and with the newly elected officers, it should continue to reflect an ability to accept and carry out its responsibilities,” he said.
Former IFC president Jules Dubois, who has worked with Myers, commented, “I feel that it is regretable that UM would lose such able young men as Mr. Myers and also Mr. Campbell.”
Tom Ciresa, new IFC prexy said, “I am sorry to hear that Mr. Myers is leaving. I would have enjoyed working with him. He is an easy person to talk with and I think he did a fine job. I hope we will be fortunate enough to get another man. like him.”

Brass Loosens Strings On Dress Regulations
Late permissions, leather thongs and bermudas on Sundays will be incorporated into the UM rules and regulations for women students beginning next September.
Co-ordinator of Residence Halls Dr. Lynn R. Bartlett and AWS president Diane Nelson issued the new rules this week. The Associated Women Students Central Council composed of representatives from the hall officers, Panhellenic Council, Undergraduate Student Government and College Board drew up rules revisions which they submitted to the Dean of Women’s office.
These were referred to the upper administration where it received approval.
Women students with a 1.0 average will receive two extra late permissions, according to AWS president Diane Nelson. She said seniors and others over 21 will have an extension of one hour over this year’s 10:30 p.m. curfew.
Bermudas will be allowed after 12 noon on Sundajs and leather thongs and sandals can be worn. Rubber thongs were not passed, Miss Nelson said.
“Students are too aware of rules on campus,” Miss Nelson noted. She said that there are more Important things to worry about while in college.
“We all realize that rules are important as a part of college life, but we must get away from the feeling that the administration is fighting against the students."
Miss Nelson explained that the rules revision was a joint effort by the students and the administration.

Pi Sigma Phi Will Escort UM Neighbors
The task of showing the campus to Coral Gables residents next week has been undertaken by members of Pi Sigma Phi, a student service organization which has often been called upon to guide visitors around the University.
Since the group began working in November, it has shown the campus to high school groups, visiting parents and lecturers, and foreign students.
Members keep in touch with more than 50 faculty and administrative departments weekly and maintain correspondence with interested local groups.
The organization — which now has 20 members — carefully screens new students who wish to join. After four to eight weeks of orientation, associate members may be accepted.
Pi Sigma Phi has members who speak French, German and Spanish, in addition to English.
“This is a student service organization dedicated to the progress of the University of Miami,” said John Lowry, Pi Sigma Phi president. “It stands ready at all times to work to its fullest extent with the University, its administration and students, in fur-thuring the aims, purposes and stature of the University.”
One of the jobs the group has done is the renovation of the Student Union public address system. The members donated new equipment, installed it and repaired some of the existing equipment.
A series of tours of the University will comprise the bulk of the week’s activities. Gables residents will be escorted around the campus by members of Phi Sigma Phi, service fraternity. The organization specializes in showing the campus to visitors.
The tours will begin at the Student Union at 10 a.m. Monday and be conducted every hour until 3 p.m. A similar schedule will be in effect Tuesday, Wednesday and Friday.
Two luncheons are also on the agenda. The informal gatherings will give residents an opportunity to meet UM personnel and administration.
Dr. May A. Brunson, Dean of Women and her staff will preside at the Ladies Day Dutch Treat Luncheon at 12:15 p.m. Monday in the Student Union.
Civic leaders will meet UM administrative leaders at the I/eadership Luncheon at 12:15 p.m. Friday in the Student Union.
Special guest at the civic leaders’ luncheon will be Dr. Henry King Stanford, president-elect of UM, who will be at the University Friday, May 18 through Sunday, May 20 for unofficial and informal meetings with students, faculty, administration and trustees.
Gableites will get a glimpse of UM student activities with a concert by the UM Symphonic Band at 7:30 p.m., Thursday. The concert will be held on Ponce de Leon Blvd., three blocks south of Miracle Mile.
