Jai Alai Buffs Will By JOHN REILLY Of Mw Hurricane (faff Students graduating from UM in June woYt even have to leave the place where some of them have spent a lot of their time and money . . . Commencement exercises will be held in the Miami Jai Alai Fronton. Taking the place of such players as Mendiola, Santiago, Asis and F.chaniz II on the Jai Alai court at 2 p.m., June 8, will be 1,000 UM graduates and their guests. Bryce Dunham, assistant to President Henry King Stanford and head of commencement exercises, said graduation for the undergraduates is being held at the Fronton because Miami Beach Convention Hall was unavailable. Dunham said the Fronton was more desirable than other places considered for commencement exercises because it is air-conditioned. “I remember graduating from UM in Dinner Key Auditorium, which is not air-conditioned, and we nearly died of the heat," Dunham said. Marine Stadium was also ruled out because of the large possibility of rain in June. Dunham said every time graduation is held at the Marine stadium it rain«. Dunham said the Fronton is quite adequate for the number of people that will be at the commencement exercises. Only about 60 per cent of the graduating class attends commencement. This amounts to about 1,000 graduates being at the exercise. Since the Fronton can seat between 5,400-5,800 people each graduate will receive five tickets but they can sign up for additional ones. According to Dunham the University is not worried about adverse publicity for the school because of graduation being held at the Fronton. He said the Fronton will look like a regular auditorium because the betting boards will be taken down for the exercises. Dunham believes that once the people are inside the Fronton it will lose all aura of a gambling palace. “Some of the medical students objected to graduating in the fronton but most undergraduates didn’t seem to care," Dunham said. One UM senior who will gradu- Graduation ate at the fronton said he didn’t care if graduation was held at the Miami Sewage Treatment Center as long as he received hi* degree. Dunham said the commencement will be held in the afternoon because of less traffic problems for people attending the exercises and better parking facilities. The fronton can park 4,000 cars. For the first time this year the graduate degrees and undergraduate degrees will be split into two ceremonies The graduate degrees will be given out in exercises on June 4 in the Miami Beach Auditorium. Dunham said if anyone has any objection to the betting aspect of graduating in the fronton he reminds them that even churches have bingo.

Details on page 6. - Committee To Define UM’s Role By KATHY WILSON Of Thu Hurricunu Sluff A 12-member Commission on Academic Goals, chaired by Associate Dean of Research Dr. Sidney L. Besvinick, has been established by President Henry King Stanford. “This Commission is probably the most significant and important commission ever established at the University, for the first time we are trying to identify what our academic goals should be," Besvinick said. The Commission was charged with a three-fold purpose: to state the long range academic goals of UM; to consider the next steps in achieving these goals; and to recommend a mechanism for seeing that these steps are taken. The goals being sought Involve three categories, those for students, the society and the University. In addition to Besvinick, the commission is composed of seven faculty members and four students — two undergraduates and two graduates. Besvinick believes that the group must remain small to be efficient, but that he must have open communication with all segments of the University. Therefore, he has set up a network of sub-groups to work with the Commission in a committee system. Each of the major factions on campus, such as USG, The graduate school, the medical school and the undergraduate schools, have been asked to appoint two members to serve on six committees chaired by members of the Commission. Each committee will study a different topic from undergraduate, professional, continuing education, and extracurricular programs, and interdisciplinary centers. As sub-groups are formed, meetings of each group will be announced and anyone is welcome to attend, to speak or present a statement, or leave a statement to be read if unable to be present. The factions from the University community will also act as a critical sounding board to the positions taken by the Commission. “We want to know what the students think and what their attitudes are toward various goals and we welcome their viewpoint,” Besvinick explained. In addition to Besvinick, the Commission is composed of Mrs. Judy Cantwell, administrative assistant. Resident Student Development, and graduate student; T i m Choate, senior, IFC vice president; Dr. William Cleveland, pediatrics; Dr. Joseph Hirach-berg, physics; Dr. Clarence Idyll, RSMAS; Dr. John Jenkins, education; John Leath-erwood, graduate student in student personnel work; Lincoln Myers, resident advisor and undergraduate junior in economics; Dr. John Stewart, marketing; Dr. Earl Wiener, industrial engineering and psychology; and Professor Thomas A. Wills, law. As goals are determined, the Commission will prepare position papers on the several goals and the relationship of academic programs to them. The completion date of the project is set at January 1, 1970.

Carni Gras ’70 pulled In $13,700, 40 per cent of which will go to the Paul R. Yarck building fund. The Carni Gras Committee is requesting that this 40 per cent go to the lighting of the baseball field.

Forty-Five Meet For SUMMON By LINDA ORMES Of Thu Hurricunu Sluff Nearly forty-five faculty and administration members attended a SUMMON meeting under the direction of Norman Manassa Sunday. “I was very pleased with the turnout,” Manassa said about the meeting which was to “inform faculty and administration of the philosophy, operation and projected future of the SUMMON program.” Manassa said that the eventual objective of SUMMON is to expand to a graduate as well as an undergraduate level and to open up the program to new academic departments. Currently,a student may obtain three credits for six to eight hours work co-ordinated with a department in education, sociology or economics. This credit is on a pass-fail basis. SUMMON students have been working in migrant camps, two Negro communities, Youth Hall, Montari (a clinical and residential center), and in conjunction with the probation program. “The program provides not only assistance for the underprivileged but also an opportunity for an education of the heart,” Manassa said. Dr. Charlton Tebeau, professor of history, said that he thinks the SUMMON program would work in the history department under a course such as urban history. He said he is in support of Manassa’s goal of expanding the program. A similar meeting under the direction of Manassa will be held again for all faculty and administration today in the International Lounge at 8:00 P.M. Sammy Davis, Jr. At UM Speech ... for UBS Benefit Feb. 11 Breakfast Promotes Sammy Davis Show The kickoff breakfast to promote the Sammy Davis, Jr., benefit to raise funds for black student scholarships at UM, was host to some of the area's top businessmen last Friday. “An Evening With Sammy Davis and Friends’* is set for 8:30 p.m., April 4 at the Miami Marine Stadium. Davis agreed to do the show after speaking here in support of black student demands on February 11. At the breakfast meeting Dr. Stanford appealed to businessmen to “assist the students in assisting themselves,” by filling out pledge cards for their firms. Dr. Stanford said he had already begun his own sales drive by selling four of the $100 tickets to the chairman of the UM Board of Trustees. Students can purchase their tickets at the ticket office in the breezeway from 1 to 5 pm, Wednesday and Thursday. Faculty members can buy their tickets from 2 to 4 pm, Wednesday in Room 623 of the Ashe Building. Prices are $5, $10, $25, $50 and $100. Miami City Commissioner Athalie Range was asked to convey UM’s thanks to the Miami City Commission for voting UM rent-free use of the Marine Stadium. Ft. Laud. Lists Its ‘Don ts9 During Assistant ties and Chester the breakfast UM Director of Activi-advisor to UBS Byrd told Mrs. By MELANI VAN PETTEN Of Thu Hurricunu Sluff The office of UM’s Dean of Students has received a memorandum from R. H. Bubier, Ft. Lauderdale's City Manager, regarding “all students planning to visit Ft. Lauderdale during the spring holidays, 1970.” “I would like to take this opportunity to welcome you to our City and sincerely hope that your stay will be a pleasant experience,” Bubier begins. The following “suggestions and policies” are offered in order to avoid “unpleasantness.” “Do not come to Ft. Lauderdale unless you definitely have a confirmed housing reservation. Our policies and ordinances prohibit sleeping in cars and-or sleeping in the open. Campers or trailers are not permitted to park on the beach. If this type of vehicle is to be used as living quarters it must be parked in a trailer park specifically licensed for this purpose. “All the laws that govern the conduct of the individual will be enforced. A person must be 21 years of age in order to purchase or consume alcohol. Persons guilty of intoxication, (it should be noted that drinking in the open is not permitted) narcotics, use of false identification, or any other form of disorderly conduct and any other unlawful act will be prosecuted. Violations of the traffic code will result in apprehension and prosecution of the offender. “Parents and school officials of any and ail students arrested during this period will be officially notified. Students should be aware of the fact that persons who are arrested and convicted on any charge will have established a permanent, and sometimes criminal recotd against themselves which could have a detrimental influence later in life.” An attached memo from the Ft. Lauderdale Department of Recreation states, “We do want you to know that the students who visited Ft. Lauderdale these past eight years were well behaved, that our program is supervised by professional recreation pei sonnet and that the program has been well received by the students.” Range she had been named honorary chairman of the benefit. / “I pray that the day will come when a group of students with an ethnic background will not have to band together for a specific purpose,” Mrs. Range said when her chairmanship was announced. “We feel education Is the dynamic thing,” UM United Black Students President Glenn Fubler said, explaining the purpose of the benefit. “Education is the only way black people can change anything in the way of their situation here today.” IFC Votes Today On Measure By KATHY WILSON Of Thu Hurricunu Stuff A proposal to immediately implement an open visitation policy on fraternity row will go before the Interfratemity Council today. The action is being taken because no administrative response to the proposal was received by the 2 p.m. Friday deadline set by the Council at their last meeting. Ron Stone, IFC president, said he feels confident that the Council will pass the proposal. The policy, which calls for 24 hour visitation rights, was first proposed more than a month ago. “We’re not bucking the administration just to buck the administration,” Stone said. “We tried to go through channels, with no action resulting.” Stone has the backing of USG President Jim Yasser and the USG Council. “There’s little that I personally can do,” Yasser said, “but I will support him (Stone) vocally. It’s really going to come down to a matter of Ron Stone vs. the Dean of Men’s office.” According to Dean of Fraternities William McCoy, the visitation policy is part of a much greater issue — what is the legal status of fraternities in relationship to the University? Who should have authority to approve or disapprove IFC policy? The administration plans to respond to the IFC action this week, after the legal status of fraternities is decided by the University’s legal counsel. Hurricane Take« Spring Break The Hurricane is taking off for awhile . . . for Easter vacation, that is. The next issue of the 'Cane will be ready on Tuesday, April 7, when you can catch up on all that happened while you were gone. After that the Hurricane will resume regular publication until May 19.
