"Contrasts in Culture,” UM’s yearly two-week
festival of art, music, films, and lectures, is now underway and will continue until April 19.
“We tried to find as many varied events as possible to make sure that we’d have something to appeal to everyone at least once during the two weeks,” said Susan Strousberg of Program Council's Culture Committee, which sponsors the event.
Some of the events include music festivals, art shows, lectures, and contests. Many of the departments at UM are contributing their services to the program.
"Participation will be from the community as well as from students because it has been advertised throughout the county on the news media,” Miss Strousberg explained. ‘‘Many of the events will include local people.”
There will be an art contest in which any student can enter. Applications are available at the Information Desk or in Room 225 of the

The Muhammed Ali (Cassius Clay)-Rocky Marciano Superfight highlights UM Program Council’s “Contrast In Culture” Week tomorrow at 2, 5 and 7 p m. in LC-130 and 140.
The February computer-match brings together two formerly undefeated heavy weights in a clash for top billing a "Champion.”
Marciano, recently killed in a plane crash, and Clay, making news for his antidraft campaign, come together for this thirteen round filmed bout.
Before Marciano's death, the late great fought top names like Joe Lewis, while Clay topped such greats as Sonny Liston.
Robert Mankus of the Chicago Tribune has called the Superfight, “one of the greatest fights you ever saw,” and one of the all-time spectacles in the world of boxing.
Program Council is also showing the uncut version of this clash on campus Sunday, April 11 at 2, 5 and 7 p.m. in LC-130 and 140 and on Monday, April 12 at 7 and 9 p.m. in LC-100 and 170.
The Hurricane Business Office is selling advance tickets today for $1.00 for students and dates and $3.00 for faculty and employees. Remaining tickets will also be available at the door.
The Superfight has been said to be a highlight in Sports History and one that has caused people to take more than a casual interest in the boxing fi^ld.

SAFAC Examines Publications’ Budgets
By MELANI VAN PETTEN
Of The Hurrlcunu Stuff
The Student Activity Fee Allocation Committee reviewed the budget requests for student publications Tuesday night, but postponed any decision in view of a possible change in the format and publishing of Tempo magazine.
‘‘The possibility of publishing Tempo as a supplement of the Hurricane and combining them financially is being discussed,” William Muff, financial advisor to student publications, told the committee.
“If the two are combined, the whole dollar package will change,” Muff explained. “The figures I have now provide for no change in present operations.”
Muff and Ibis editor Alex Bukhair explained to the committee that if the plan is carried out, the Hurricane and Tempo would still maintain separate editorial staffs, but that the financial operations of Tempo would be taken over by the Hurricane, and Tempo would possibly be distributed as a supplement of the Hurricane similar to The Miami Herald’s Tropic magazine.
"This idea is just being investigated at the moment,” Bukhair emphasized. "Nothing is definite.”
Muff told the committee that the figures on the possible combination of the two would probably be available in time for the next SAFAC meeting.
Muff also told SAFAC that the projected publications’ budgets gave very little leeway. ‘‘These are very tight, honest budgets, and will provide about the same products as this year,” he said.
“The publications could certainly use more money tlnn this, and I can’t emphasize that enough," Muff commented. “I would like to see them have enough to experiment with different styles

and use of color, and to raise stipends.”
Several committee members questioned the idea of raising stipends. Director of Student Activities William Sheeder pointed out that some members of the student publications staffs work for salaries that are “pathetically low when compared to the minimum hourly wage.”
USG President Jim Yasser suggested that SAFAC should hear from the individual editors of the three publications before making any decision.

Acting on a proposed resolution written by USG President, Jim Yasser, and adopted by the USG Council, UM President Henry King Stanford and his Cabinet rejected the motion by voting not to seat a member of the student body on the President's Cabinet.	i
The original resolution asked that the President of the Undergraduate Student Government or his designee be made an ex-officio, non-voting member of the president’s Cabinet with full speaking privileges.
The resolution went further and asked the UM President to appoint a representative to the USG Council who would be made an ex-officio, non-voting member with full speaking privileges.
“Colleges are continually being run as businesses,” commented Yasser upon receiving a memorandum from Stanford saying that there would be no student representation on the President’s Cabinet. “This is Standford’s corporation —-but I think he would do better in a different business," he said.
Yasser’s resolution given to the Cabinet stated that students are responsible for the very existence of UM and as such were naturally interested in the decisions made concerning it.
“The interests of the University and the interests of the student body are two different things,” Yasser continued. “I believe that students have the right to live and to govern. Obviously my policy is not concurrent with the University.”
President Stanford and the UM Vice Presidents would not comment as to why they voted to keep the President’s Cabinet closed.
“I am an unimportant obstacle at this point,” said Yasser as his term of office grows shorter. “They are going to wait for the elections and hope some lackey gets in.”
President Stanford’s cabinet is composed of the four University Vice-Presidents: Dr. Armin Gropp, Academic Affairs; Dr. William Butler, Student Affairs; Eugene Cohen, Financial Affairs; and Charles Estiil, Development Affairs.
Currently there are three students sitting on University policy-making committees. The students sit on the Board of Trustees, the Faculty Senate and the School Council of the College of Arts and Sciences in a non-voting capacity.

“My colleagues of the Cabinet and I have reviewed the March 2 resolution of Undergraduate Student Government which proposed student membership on the President’s Cabinet. It was the consensus of the Cabinet that student representation on the Cabinet would not he in the best interests of the University.”

8 To Be Tried For UBS Sit-In
Two IFC Proposals
Reviewed
By LINDA KLEINDIENST Hurrlcunu Ntwi editor
Members of Interfraternity Council met with the Student Affairs Committee of the Board of Trustees Tuesday afternoon to discuss the proposed IFC visitation and drinking proposals.
According to Charles Gartier chairman of the Trustee committee, the committee will recommend to the full Board that the proposal regarding visitation be implemented, providing that it coincide with the policy in the residence halls.
‘‘The committee made a few minor changes in the original proposal,” IFC President Ron Stone said. “But it will not change it to any great degree.”
The Student Affairs Committee will meet with IFC representatives again on Tuesday to study the re-draft of the visitation proposal before it is presented to the Board at their meeting that afternoon.
Gautier said that the Committee will meet with IFC within the next month to further discuss the alcoholic beverage proposal originally drawn up by Tim Meaney, the immediate past president of IFC.
"Frankly I think they’re trying to stall us on the drinikng proposal,” Stone said. “Tim did a lot of work on it and I think it’s a good one. But I am very happy that the committee reacted so favorably to the visitation proposal.”
According to Gautier the committee needs more time to study the drinking proposal, since as of Tuesday’s meeting they had not received copies of it.
“There was really nothing new to discuss on the visitation, since we have been studying the MRHA proposal for a year and the IFC policy is very similar to it,” Gautier said.

Protest Mourns Fla. Dead

UM students will join with New Party members in a two-day Vietnam Anti-War Protest April 14 and 15.
“Lack of public pressure and sentiment for troop withdrawal in Vietnam could lead to a full-scale land war throughout Indo-China,” said Bob Kunst, Coordinator with the New Party.
UM students will hold an 8:00 p.m. Candlelight Vigil April 14th, and a funeral march with a casket carrying the names of Florida dead (1,400) will leave UM at 3:30 p.m. April 15th for the Federal Building downtown. At 6:00 p.m. April 15th a rally will be held at the Federal Building with the theme, “Who pays, Who Profits."
Many speakers from all segments of the community including County Commissioner Earl Starnes, Rev. Theodore Gibson, Eric Potter, Essie Silva, UM Professor Norwood and Gladys
Taylor of the Welfare Rights Committee will speak on what the Vietnam issue means.
“We are fed up with Nixon’s war and the expanding conflicts in Laos, Cambodia and Thailand,” said Kunst. “This situation provides a perfect opportunity for Nixon to negotiate a settlement in Laos and to follow that precedent in Cambodia and South Vietnam.” he said. “The Moratorium is more important now than it has ever been before. People who were fence-sitters must become active.”
Miami, he said, spends $230 million tax dollars for the war each year. “The consumer Is paying through the nose and there’s no end in sight,” said Kunst.
“It would take $150 million of these tax dollars alone to provide an acceptable’ educational system here,” he said. “If we spend this much money when we need 50,000 housing units and the level of poverty is so high, maybe we can understand what’s happening.”

USG Council for approval because of a lack of a quorum at Monday’s scheduled meeting.
Council will vote whether or not to include the referendum at its next meeting on Monday.
In a resolution to Council, Yasser said that the University "has not properly fulfilled its obligations to the American society in providing educational facilities and opportunities for disadvantaged and minority group members."
“It is the University’s public contention that financial inadequacies prevent the fulfillment of these responsibilities,” he said
If Council approves of the referendum students will vote on the measure April 21 and 22.

At Dean’s Office Feb.

The University Disciplinary Hearing Committee will meet Monday to hear the case of the eight students charged with violating the University Policy on Mass Assembly and Demonstrations in the United Black Student’s sit-in at the Dean of Men’s office Feb. 19. There have been no new developments since the Hearing Committee granted continuance for the case at the first hearing on March 19.
The hearing for the eight students, John Bailey, Barbara Clancy, Earl DeVeaux, Bernice McDade, Walter Mitchell, Bill Pratt, Bob Roile, and Jimmy Zillinger, is considered a test case for the Mass Demonstration Policy.
Bruce S. Rogow, assistant professor of law, Dr. Min-nette Massey, former dean of the law school, and Dr. Thomas A. Wills of the law faculty said that the procedures for the hearings are ob-scurred with irregularities.
The Hearing Committee granted continuance on questions of: the right to jurisdiction (question as to whether the Disciplinary Hearing Committee was the correct committee to hear the case); the denial of counsel in the hearings; a challenge to the committee members for cause (question as to whether the members expressed a pre-judged consideration); and how and who determined the seriousness of the offense.
Rogow will present and argue the same points at a pre-hearing of the committee on Monday.
The pre-hearing, which is not provided for in any University Policy, was granted to Rogow by the Hearing Committee Chairman Dr. James Vadakin of the economics department.
Many of the policies and procedures of the committee are open to interpretation by each of the factions involved.
“There is a wide difference of opinion on the policies between the Dean of Men’s Office and the advisors of the charged students,” Assistant Dean of Men Ronald Kaszu-ta, the investigator of the case, said.
“The University discipline structure is not meant to be all that legal, or all punitive either,” he said, “The question has arisen in this case if the policy should be structured in a more legal vein."
Bill Pratt, one of the eight students charged, described some of the legal ambiguities he believed were contained in the policy.
“First of all, nobody has said what a disruptive demonstration is; we want a clarification of charges," he added, “as it is now. three people could walk into a waiting room, and if the secretary had to stop what she
