We did not know that the last man that asked us would be the last.” Commenting on the late dean’s death, President Stanford said, "To thousands of University of Miami coeds, May Brunson endeared herself by the code for which she stood and by the fairness with which she applied it.”
“Young women knew that there was a friend to encourage them when they were feeling disconsolate, to applaud them when they were achieving, and to reprimand them when they were erring.

Thousands of people were influenced by Dean May A. Brunson in her 24 years at UM. The Hurricane asked some of the administrators, students, and staff personnel who worked with her, and were her friends, for their personal feelings on her death.
“Dean Brunson was an advocate, and often an Initiator of change, yet she held to the eternal truths steadfastly, which provided stability within the whole concept of change.” Associate Dean of Women Mrs. Louise Mills said. “She had an orderly mind and everything she did reflected careful planning, based on extensive preparation and knowledge. Our great loss is for those in the future who will not have the

advantage we have had of her wisdom, humor, and deep affection, but we should feel very fortunate for having had our lives touched by someone so special."
Mrs. Frieda M. Apple, Dean Brunson’s personal sec-' retary for nine years, said, “Some people say that women bosses are hard to work for, but she was never hard to work with, she was the best person a person could work for.”

Miss Majone Abrahms, who worked under Dean Brunson as assistant dean of women, reflected, “I admired D6an Brunson. I learned from her, and I loved her. Others who share any of these feelings will, I am sure, feel her passing as deep a loss as I do.”
Dean Brunson was an advocate for the Greek system on campus ahd was advisor to Panheilenic. Maureen Gar-rigan, president of Panheilenic, worked with her for three years.
“After working with her so closely and getting to know her not only as the dean of women, but also as one of tbs most sweet and sincere people I’ve ever met In my life. I feel I will never meet another person like her,” she
She continued. “A lot of us feel we are just numbers at this concrete university. I feel Dean Brunson was sort of a flower growing in the middle of that concrete.”

Martin Luther King at Florida Memorial College.
The benefit will begin 8:30 p.m. at the Miami Marine Stadium.
“The Black Theatre," Nina Simone, African Culture, black musical expressions and Tuesday night's black forum are among the planned events.
“Black Culture Week exhibits some of the best talent in this area and the country,” said Graduate Assistant LaVon Wright.
“This year’s program includes top name attractions such as Sammy Davis, Jr., Nina Simone and local and campus talent,” she said.
"We have some of the best art work in this region.”
According to UM Freshman, Georgians White, the University did not put forth enough effort financially or morally to make the program really successful.
Black students agree, however, that Black Culture Week will be successful In spite of this. Most of them give credit for this to Associate Director of Student Activities, Chester Byrd.
“This is our own thing; Black students are very concerned and totally involved,” Miss Wright said-
“At least 70 per cent of all Blacks on campus have participated in preparations for Black Culture Week^ Black students who have not taken
part in anything this year (UBS, BSP, intramurals, etc) are actively involved in Black Culture Week.”
Most white students look forward to Black Culture Week because of the varied entertainment offered.
“I’m looking forward to it because I missed the one held last year.” said UM Senior Diane Dwarkins.
“You get a variety of entertainment, art, speakers and lectures on black awareness at the same time,” she said.

“I hope we can all get together and enjoy this.”
UM Sophomore, Lorrie Konopka said efforts should be made to provide more publicity for the activities.
“Many people miss them because it is not widely publicized," she said.
A complete schedule of Black Culture Week activities has been listed in the Friday, April 17 issue of the Hurricane.
For UBS Hearings On Sit-In
By MARK BERMAN
AlilttaM Htmt Sditftr
A group of UM faculty members and administrators has begun a campaign supporting a black students’ appeal for the right to legal counsel at the United Black Students’ sit-in hearings.
In a letter to Dean Frederick Lewis, appellate officer in the black hearings, the group is requesting that blacks be allowed to have counsel with them at hearings.
Presently blacks implicated in the February sit-in at the Financial Aid Office have the right to counsel, but outside the hearing room only.
The letter to Dean Lewis cites a statement on hearing committee procedures from the “Joint Statement on Rights and Freedoms of Students” which appeared in the American Association of University Professors (AAUP) Bulletin in June 1968:
“The student appearing before the hearing committee should have the right to be assisted in his defense by the adviser of his choice.”
The statement was endorsed by several organizations including: The US National Student Organization, The Association of American Colleges, The Association of Student Personnel Administrators, The National Association of Women Deans and Counselors and others.
According to Dr. Nancy Clasby, a spokesman for the group, interested faculty members and administrators may sign the letter by contacting her at 667-8277 or William Ward, acting director of the Art Department, at 284-3535.

SDS Gets UM Recognition
By IRIS HOROWITZ
O* Tht Murrktnt Staff
The Commitee on Student Organiza-ions voted Tuesday to accept the request of SDS for recognition on the UM campus.
It was considered an organization applying for the first time.
Last year the SDS was banned from UM campus because the group allegedly burned a coffin on November S, 1968, which was against University policy. Then the members failed to attend all but one of the hearings regarding the incident.
David Halberg, CSO chairman, said
that temporary recognition on the University campus can be given to SDS after minor details in their constitution are ironed out wih Director of Student Activities William Sheeder.
“We’re not applying for re-recognl-tion,” SDS representative Randy Shaw said. “We’re applying for recognition because we're not the same organization as the SDS that was banned last year.”
A petition stating that Union rooms would not be set up by the Student Union Set-Up Crew was presented to the COSO Committee by a Union employee. The crew feels that the SDS does not take adequate care of the Unionjacilities

making device — we’ve made people aware,” Murphy
said.
“We’re trying to guide people that do not have proper representation,” New Party member Jo Cameroo said.
