Alpha Tau Omegas Snitch Florida State Flag
4
Florida State University is missing its school flag, and a spirited group of UM fraternity men know where it is.
A 985 mile journey, during which two members of Alpha Tau Omega fraternity forded the Swanee River nine times in a Jaguar XKE, ended last night with the presentation of the Florida State University flag to UM coach Charlie Tate.
We got the idea of presenting
the FSU flag to Coach Tate Friday morning from Terry Dunklehurger, one of our fraternity brothers, and began to execute our plans on Sunday afternoon." said Burt Holmes, one of the two self-styled "flag liberators.”
Sunday afternoon. Holmes, together with Dave Leonard, also of ATO, left Miami for Tallahassee, destination flag pole.
The recent flooding of the Swanee River due to the tor-
rential rains which were dumped on North Florida by Hurricane Dora made it necessary for the two men to literally ford the river at nine points during their round trip.
"When we got to Tallahassee we more or less cased the joint for several hours, just walking around the campus and enjoying ourselves," explained Leonard.
“Our original objective was the flag, but we were also hoping to be able to obtain the
headress of Seminole Sam. the FSl' mascot. Unfortunately that was under guard in the Held house, we were told.”
After prowling the campus for several hours, the two men spent the remainder of Sunday evening in their car.
The FSU school flag was hoisted above the central administration building of the campus around 5:30 am., according to Holmes and disappeared several minutes later.
"Once we had the flag, we
just headed for home and didn’t look back,” said Holmes.
Our primary purpose in liberating the flag was to present it to Coach Tate at the Pep rally, and encourage the team to win possession of it at Saturday's football game as sort of a permanent school trophy,” said Leonard.
“I would imagine that the implication behind presenting me with the flag is “We got their flag, now it's up to the Hurricanes and myself to get
their hide,” sfltd Tate. Tate commended the Tau’s for “(heir interest in the Hurricanes and their enthusiasm.”
"We would like to challenge any fraternity or independent organization at the University of Miami to repeat or top our recent ‘liberation’ at any of the other schools which we will play during the coming football season, especially with Georgia Tech,” said Holmes, noting that “Coach Tate really wants that game ”

Storms, Strikes Delay Student Union Progress
By PAUL SCHREIBER NarrlCMt UsL Nm Elittf
Recent storms and strikes might put the new, multi-million dollar Student Union two months behind schedule.
However, UM Business Manager William F. McLaughlin remains hopeful the Union will be ready for occupancy in February.
The Union contractors have already been granted a 40-day extension on the construction time. This resulted from two strikes and a change in plan designs.
Now under consideration by University officials is a contractors's request for a two-week extension to match time lost in a tileworker’s dispute which
was ended Monday by transferring tileworkers to another site
UM Computing Center
The dispute, between the tile mechanics who lay the tile and their helpers, began Sept. 1. The other workman at the Union site honored the picket line and walked off the job.
The problem was temporarily resolved when the tile contractors were bypassed for other aspects of the job. University officials are hopeful differences will be resolved before the tile workers return to the UM site.
The other delay, caused by Hurricane Cleo, will probably call for an additional three or four day contract extension.
“The union contractor was caught at a critical time with
both strikes—the Ironworkers strike when he was ready to pour cement,” Mcl^iughlin said.
But even with the possible 57-day delay, McLaughlin was optimistic, “I still predict the Union will be ready for occupancy in February.”
Rolls Merrily Along
UM’s Computing Center con- ] tinues to roll merrily along toward completion in November, working ahead of the strikes and walkouts that plagued the Student Union.
According to UM Business Manager William F. McLaugh- ■ lin, much of the work that held up the Union has already been! completed in the Computing Center.
For instance, the iron work had been finished before the Iron- j workers Local 272 strike. Like- j wise, the walkout of Teamsters Local 290, the cement truck drivers, did not materially affect the Center.
The five-story $1.5 million structure will house a two-million dollar data processing center on the first two floors and facilities of the U. S. Weather Bureau on the other floors.
“The contractor, through the contract extension, has that much more time to finish the job without paying the $200-a-day penalty. However, he has a large overhead and would want to complete the job as quickly as possible,” he explained.
Dominating the interior will be a glass enclosed room, housing the IBM 740 computer.
The Weather Bureau, which will move from atop the Embry-Riddle Building on 27th Avenue, is scheduled to occupy the upper three floors in mid-December.

HOMKCOMING
"'Getting The Work Done”
Major details have already been completed, and “getting the work done" is all that remains in preparation for Homecoming 1964. according to Homecoming Chairman Mark Clasby.
"We arc way ahead of schedule at the present time. Major committee work is well under way and the bands for the Homecoming Dance as well as party favors and a variety of other small but important details have all been arranged,” said Clasby.
Clasby emphasized that all campus organizations which plan to enter floats in the Homecoming parade must pay their $50 fee for the float bed before Friday, Sept. 25.
I Surgeon General on the recommendation of the National Advisory Council on Health Research Facilities comprised of | leading non-governmental sci-! entists, research administrators and others experienced in assessing health research needs.
"The confidence which the Sur-; goon General has expressed in the future development of the medical school challenges all \ friends of the University to validate this grant quickly,” Dr “We must move vigorously to raise the additional funds necessary to enable the first phase of our medical construction program to be underway bv July, 1965."
The Basic Sciences building, planned within the Jackson Memorial Hospital complex in Miami, is part of the University’s Golden Anniversary Development Program The building will cost $7,910.006 and another two million Is sought as endowment for maintenance and operational easts.
It will contain both education and research facilities for the j basic sciences of the medical | school now housed in a former employees dormitory, adjacent to ! the Veteran’s Administration 1 Hospital in Coral Gables.
"At present,” Dr. Stanford said,
1 “researchers are conducting pro-; grams under trying, inadequate I conditions due to the limitations | of space and geographical separation from colleagues. These \ limitations have in some instances made it impossible to estab-j lish research programs or to I carry out certain student research projects."
The University’s $93,000.000 ten year Golden Anniversary Development Program, announced February 16, 1964, stresses the pressing need for new science facilities on the UM main campus as well as the medical facilities.
The cost for the first buildings in both science and medicine is $15,180,000. A total cost of $36,-
843.000	will be needed to complete both the Science and Medical Centers, scheduled for realization within five years.
Donald V. Stophlet, University of Miami vice president for development, recently announced that the University may begin construction of the first phase of the main campus science building’s complex portion of the Development Fund Program before the end of the year.
“We are expecting to he able to give out contracts for the first phase of the science facilities by about the middle of December,” said Stophlet. Construction should liegin shortly after the contracts are signed.
"Building A" of the Main Campus Science Complex will be the first of the proposed $36,-
843.000	science and medical facilities which must be completed within the next five years, according to Stophlet.
