By MARK BERMAN
Hurricane Assistant News Editor
President Henry King
Stanford today announced
the organizational structure
of the Task Force to Study
the Governance of the University, as approved by the
Board of Trustees on May 8.
The constituency of the 20-
member task force will be selected from two categories
and will be submitted to the
Board for its approval.
Members of one category
will consist of 10 persons to
be chosen from nominees of
UM's 10 Schools and the College of Arts and Sciences.
Elections of four faculty
members and two students
from each are now underway, Dr. Stanford said.
Ten members will also be
chosen from the following
categories: three members of
the Board of Trustees selected by President Stanford;
vice presidents of the university; members of the Deans'
Council; chairman of the Faculty Senate for 1970-71; the
presidents of USG, Association of Graduate Students,
Law School Student Body,
Medical School Students
Body; chairman of the Committee on International Student Organizations; the president of the Alumni Association for 1969-70 and 1970-71
and the Citizens Board for
1970-71; the Dean of Students; and two representatives from non-academic personnel.
President Stanford will select members from these
nominees and will also nominate a chairman for the task
force.
Nominated persons not selected to the force will serve
as an advisory panel and will
also act as a resource group.
The organizational motion
approved by the Executive
Committee of the Board
states that before findings
and recommendations are
submitted to the President
and the Board, they should
be distributed to interested
groups within the university
community for reaction and
comments.
Reactions from minority
reports and exceptions from
such groups as faculty, students and administrators,
will be attached to the final
report of the task force.
After the 20-member panel
critiques the task force report, it will be submitted to
the faculty for an advisory
vote and then to the president for his consideration. If
President Stanford approves
the report it will be submitted to the Board of Trustees.
The motion states that the
task force report should be
critiqued by the panel and
voted on by the faculty so
that it will reach the President's desk by december 31,
1970.

Anti-War Protest
Interrupts ROTC
By LINDA ORMES
Of The Hurricane StaH
About 50 Peace Strike
South members marched to
the Air Force ROTC drill
practice on the Soccer Field
yesterday afternoon and carried signs saying "a positive
alternative to ROTC."
Led by Neal Roth carrying
a red, white and blue striped
flag with a phoenix emblem
in the corner, the marchers
chanted, "1-2-3-4, we don't
want your damn war."
The peaceful demoistra-
tion was called the "guerrilla
theatre" and its purpose was
"to bring some freedom to
the soccer field and to show
that people can gather for
peaceful measures," Bob
Weinberg of Peace Strike
South said.
The AFROTC cadets carried out their normal drill
procedures while the demonstrators popped balloons and
marched around the drill
area.
The demonstrators went
to the drill field after attending an hour-long conference
of UM students and II delegates from four other Florida
colleges.
The purpose of the conference, held in the International Lounge, was to inform delegates of what action UM
students have taken and also
to ask what other schools
were doing, Peter Yaffe, a
Peace Strike co-ordinator
said.
Earl DeVeaux, who is in
charge of voter registration,
said that UM students have
gone to the community areas
with the highest number of
unregistered voters to show
the people how to register to
vote.
"In the fall we will start a
voter poll to gel out all those
people who have not been
voting," DeVeaux said.
National Student Lobby
Association Co-orcii
Barbara Clancy explained her
committee which is trying to
obtain representation in
Washington, D.C. for college
students.
The committee is planning
to send 1000 students from
all over the nation to Washington for the summer to
form a steering committee.
Brandeis College has asked
that UM co-ordinate the program.
A conference will be \held
May 29th and 30th at Antl-
och College for those interested in the peace movement.
Saturday a group of GI's are
asking for student support
for their anti-war rally at Ft.
Rutger.
A nationwide women's
strike for May 27th was announced by Ruth Karp. She
said that in the spirit of
Ghandi like passive protest
for peace, the strike will call
for people to stay in their
homes for 24 hours in quiet
dedication to end the war.
A boycott against Coca
Cola has begun and the purpose is to help stop the imperialism which the company
represents, Eric Layton said.
Locally, a march from
Parking Lot Number 2 on
Key Biscayne to President
Nixon's home has been planned for tomorrow.
Weinberg has applied for a
permit for 10,000 people to
attend the peace rally.

activities, phone the headquarters at 4401.
EOPI Gift
Aids Camp
For Youth
The UM campus will be
the school and summer camp
for 200 underprivledged teenagers this summer as the
Summer Youth Enrichment
Program gets underway June
22 through August 21.
According to Norman Manasa, director of the Program, a grant from EOPI will
handle the busing of the children, food, and salaries for
student instructors.
The purpose of the program is to bring cultural,
athletic, and academic enrichment, five days each
week (9 am to 3 pm) to un-
derprivleged teenagers.
All interested students are
asked to come to the Division of Continuing Education
to fill out an application with
Hank Klein.
Students will be able to instruct academically in the
areas of reading, writing,
Spanish, math, science, arts
and crafts, drama and music.
Athletically, instructors
are needed in areas such as
swimming, tennis, football,
wrestling, basketball.
The children will also be
escorted on field trips to the
beach and local sightseeing
exhibits like the Seaquarium.
Students will be working
with the children on a ratio
of about 1 instructor to 8 or
10 children during 4 periods
each day.
"People will be working
more hours than we are prepared to pay for," Manasa
said. "Those who will respond beyond the normal
hours are the ones we'd want
to sign up."
According to Manasa, the
program is prepared to pay
$1.60 an hour, but an attempt
is being made to amend the
contract to $1.75 an hour.
Students will also be able
to work for the Summer
Youth Enrichment Program
on a part time basis if they
plan to take courses during
summer session.

UM Joins In
National Protest
By ELIZABETH OSTROFF
Of The Hurricana StaH
UM is cooperating and
communicating with schools
all over the nation in efforts
to carry-out effective protests against President Nixon's Southeast Asia policy.
Various universities are
acting as information centers
and meeting places for geographically distant schools.
At Yale University a three
day convention ended today
after students from all over
the country heard Rennte
Davis speak. The students
participated In forums and
discussion groups aimed at
outlining the objectives of
the whole movement, which
coordinators say will last
until at least the November
elections.
Option Forms Available
Sy KATHY WILSON
Of The Hurricane StaH
More than 15,000 "Statement of Intent"
forms were distributed to students on the
first day of their use Wednesday.
The statement, with which a student can
choose the option of taking an incomplete or
having his present grade finalized, came as a
result of a combined faculty and administrative meeting after the week long turmoil on
campus.
The form reads: "Because of my sincere
belief that 1 can best fulfill my academic
commitment for the remainder of this term
by service outside the classroom and under
the revised provisions of the attendance and
grading policy for the 1969-70 spring semester I elect the following option."
Ihe options are:
— "To receive the grade of incomplete
and make lt up according to the normal procedures as stated in the undergraduate studies bulletin."
— "Cease attending the class and receive the grade which I have earned up to
this date."
The student also has the option of attending his regularly scheduled classes and
taking the final examinations.
The contents of the form were discussed
at a meeting of the Cabinet, composed of
UM   vice  presidents,  the  Dean's  Council.
which is composed of all academic deans,
and the Faculty-Senate Council.
The meeting was called after President
Stanford had made his prepared statement
Monday evening endorsing the three point
option grade plan.
No professor is obligated to accept Statement of Intent forms. Consent for the option
plans is regulated on an individual student-
teacher basis.
"There is no way we can get around
this," Dr. Carl McKenry, chairman of the
Faculty-Senate, said. "There are some professors who just won't go along with this,
and nobody can tell a professor what he has
to do."
Dr. Armin H. Gropp, vice president for
academic affairs, who was responsible for
having the forms printed and circulated, explained that the form is being used for the
"student's protection."
He explained that verbal agreements between teachers and students could not be
controlled. If a teacher forgot the agreement
he might record a failing grade for a student
who thought that he had completed the
course with a passing grade.
No form will be attached to any student's personal records, but one will be included in the dean's files for a double check.
It was the general consensus of opinion
that although many students were sincere in
taking the options many were also taking
advantage of the plans to have an extra two
weeks of summer vacation.
At San Jose State representatives from schools west
of the Mississippi compiled a
list of priorities that they
would strive for in addition
to the Indo-China question
including repression in the
US, and war research and
ROTC on college campuses.
At Brandeis University
two entire buildings have
been given over to the National Strike Center which
coordinates and disseminates
information to all interested
schools.
At George Washington
University in Washington,
D.C. the National Boycott
Committee met last week to
discuss overall objectives.
They determined to continue
a boycott of the products of
the Coca Cola company and
the Philip Morris Company
which manufactures Marlboro cigarettes.
The strike against Marlboro's continues despite the
president of Philip Moris'
offer of money and airplanes
to aid the protestors.
"UM is playing an important role in this," USG Vice
President Marty Weinkle
said. "We are the leaders in
community organization for
the entire nation."
"We've been getting calls
from all ovet the nation because we have the most sophisticated community program instituted as yet," he
said. "We're also the only
national leader that hasn't
had violence  yet."
Among the techniques that
UM's Strike Committee is advising other schools of are
house-to-house canvassing,
leafleting, and the voter registration drive currently
being conducted in the 12th
Congressional District.
A state caucus met at UM
yesterday with approximately 50 representatives from
Florida schools in an effort
to "solidify the state efforts."
In addition UM will participate in a national convention scheduled for May 29-
30.

their support of President
Henry King Stanford's decision to halt classes last
Thursday and Friday by a
1600 vote margin in a university-wide referendum.

its support to Dr. Stanford's
three point option plan for
completing spring smester
class work.
Of a total 3376 votes cast,
73.9 per cent were in favor of
Dr. Stanford's class halt

votes cast in opposition.

the summoning of outside
forces, while 1779 were in
opposition.

ROTC program on campus
with 66.9 per cent In favor
and 31.1 per cent opposed.
The referendum was organized last week by the new
slate of USG officers, headed
by • president-elect Mark
Krasnow.

history, the University of Miami, acting as a community
rather than a conglomeration
of isolated groups, took a
stand on current issues,"
Karsnow said. "I hope it will
continue."

Marijuana
Suspected

A search and seizure for
marijuana was conducted
Wednesday night at 1968
dorm in the room of Robert
Solomon and Ed Zuckerman
by Assistant Head Resident
Tim Looney, Graduate Advisor George Lachat and Resident Advisor John Sanson.
An empty trash can was
removed for Investig. tion,
but Lachat said he doesn't
think marijuana will be
found.
Solomon claims that his
civil rights were violated because he feels that there was
not a probable cause to
search his room. He also
feels that his roommate's
rights were infringed upon,
because his side of the room
was searched too.
The probable cause, as
stated on the search and seizure notice, was "a strong
smell of marijuana." This
was signed by judicial board
member Terry Wiggens and
the head resident on duty,
Richard Streeter.
Lachat said that the search
was conducted as written
