Protest: Then And Now
The second anniversary of the Vietnam Moratorium has gone virtually unnoticed. Two years ago (below) a week of protest was planned, including music groups, guest speakers and candlelight marches.
The war still goes on, but this year the protest was limited to a performance of the Mime Theatrical Company (below) which took place Wednesday on the Rock.
The mood of the campus has changed and with it, the ways of protest. The National Guard has gone into semi-retirement and the “effete snobs” and “bums on campus” have long since disappeared, leaving us with only a dissatisfied and silent minority-
Student Season Tickets Abolished

After ail was said and done, the University of Miami has sold all the student season tickets it wants to. Art Laskey, athletic business manager, announced that no more student season tickets will sold. Anyone that wants to see a UM game must pay at least $2.
Laskey admitted that his office had printed up 6,000 tickets but only allowed 4,500 to be sold. “We set a deadline two weeks ago,” he said. “And I asked athletic director Ernest McCoy, if we could extend the deadline to Thursday (last week) for the Notre Dame game. He said it was fine.
There was a discrepancy between what Laskey said and what really happened. Laskey extended that Thursday deadline to Friday. So, when a member of the Hurricane asked to get a season ticket late Friday afternoon, she was told that they were all sold out.
"Wa weren't sold out,” Laskey sid. “I just set i Friday up M lha arbitrary cut-off date and that was that. Wa

overextended our deadline so we could accommodate the crowd.”
If the windows were left open until the end of the day Friday, at least another 50 to 100 people would have bought tickets, that’s how many were waiting in line when the window was closed.
Laskey also charged that if he had brought the reduction in ticket price« from $16 to $3.50 to court, he feels he would have won the case.
“I found out later that we would have probably won that case in court because the law is so undefined,” he said. “But the University decided it would be in the best interest not to bring it to court.”
The Internal Revenue Service’s Office of Emergency Planning ruled in favor of the Hurricane’s letter of complaint charging that the UM had raised it's ticket prices in contradiction to the Nixon price freeze.
“I don't know whether we’ll go back to the $16 ticket price or not,” Laskey said. “1 know that the University is for the students, but t>e can’t run a program on S3 50 student season tickets.”
UM Wants ‘Tricky Dicky’

This week the Hurricane poll of 100 UM students begins an in-depth look at next year’s presidential election. Through the next 13 months we will continually ask UM students their opinions on the candidates and the issues.
Since the nomination of the Democratic party’s candidate is the only one in question at this time, we will initially be concerned with that race. We eventually hope to find out which presidential hopeful from the Democratic Party UM students lean toward. As conditions change and issues become clearer, we will request students to establish the effects of those changes.
By the way, we still haven’t come up with a name for our poll. If you have a suggestion or a question you would like to have asked, stop by the Hurricane Office on the second floor of the Student Union or write to: POLL, Miami Hurricane, Box 8132, UM Branch, Coral Gables, Fla., 33124.
Here's Jiow it went this week:
If the national presidential election was held today, who would you vote for?
E. MuskLe R. Nixon G. Wallace Undecided
36%	44%	6%	14%
F. Harris R. Nixon G. Wallace Undecided
26%	50%	6%	18%
With Richard Nixon having the undisputed lead in the entire race, Senator Edmund Muskie has a large lead over Senator Fred Harris for the Democratic Party’s choice. The 36% Muskie pulled compared to Harris’ 26% shows a definite advantage to Muskie at this time. In analyzing the preference to Muskie, it is interesting to note the category students changed to.
Of the students who would vote for Muskie but would not vote for Harris under the same conditions, the majority voted for Nixon. This could indicate a trend away from party politics.
It Is important to note that the poll was taken after Harris made a speech on campus last Monday. Although he is a relative unknown among presidential hopefuls, this would seem to indicate very little impact was felt from his presence at UM.
Unless he announces that he will run in the Democratic primaries around the country, we will treat George Wallace as an independent candidate.
Next week we will see how UM students feel about Senator George McGovern and New York Mayor John Lindsay as presidential material.

Pantomine Recreates Moratorium At Rock

The officer tears his rank insignia from his fatigues and joins his men who have just thrown their guns to the ground. The war is over for them.
The scene could have oc-cured in Viet Nam, but not this time.
The scene wasn’t Viet Nam. It was by the Rock just outside the Student Union.
The scene was the last from a series of acts depicting the war in Viet Nam by the Mime
The scene was the last from a series of acts depicting the war in Viet Nam by the Mime Theatre of America players last Wednesday. It was a type of protest that UM Students had never seen in the past.
Two years ago today UM witnessed a protest which ended with 7000 people participating in a candlelight procession This time about 200 students watched as the six mime players participated in the protest.
Two UM students, Steve Chaykin and Jerry Gorde, with the help of the Peace and Action Coalition presented the group. Chaykin said the protest was staged to make students aware that “there was still a war going on.”
“We thought it would be a small needle in people’s sides,” Chaykin said.
The mime group performed twice as curious students walking from classes or to the bookstore watched the thirty minute act.
Bob Capri, director of the group, said the group had never performed the protest
act before.
“We made up the acts last night. We are doing it because we believe in what we are doing," he said.
Few of the people that
watched the acts were surprised by the lack of people at the demonstration.
“Everyone is just fed up with trying to stop the war and they don't care to come to protests anymore,” Joe Liddy, a UM junior, said.
Reverend Henry Minich, who was a leader of the moratorium two years ago, said the mime group represented a new type of protest.
“There is a trend toward more personalistic feelings instead of the group activities of two years ago. I think that people would rather watch and make up their own minds then be told like they were before,” he said.
Mrs. Kay Whitten, program, director, said she felt the small crowd was due to the steps that had been taken to wind down the war during the last two years.
“You can’t bring 250,000 men back home immediately. It would ruin our economy. President Nixon is taking this and everything else into consideration,” she said.
The protest occurred as groups across the country were sponsoring rallies, teach-ins, vigils, marches, and boycotts. The activities ranged from a boycott of the noon meal by soldiers at Ft. Bliss near El Paso, Tex., to a teach-in conducted by Daniel Ellsberg at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology in Cambridge.
Other colleges participated in the nationwide Moratorium day.
Students at the University of Missouri staged a boycott of classes while a march was being held at the University of Minnesota. Rallies were held at several major universities across the nation.

The implementation of a Jewish Studios program at UM has received full support from UM officials including Dr. Arm in Gropp, vice president of academic affairs.
Gropp pledged his support at a meeting with four students representing the co-ordinating committee for the implementation of a UM Jewish Studies program.
Eventually the department will pertain to the culture aitd history of the Jewish people, and will not be a religiously oriented offering.
Spokesman for the group,
Bruce Goldstein, showed Gropp a petition signed by 1000 UM Students willing to take these courses, and said that with the number of Jewish studei^s UM has, it ii only fair th'at such a department be in existence.
So far, 14 UM professors are willing to take an overload to teach these courses.
Dr. Sidney L. Besvinick, chairman of the Faculty Coordinating Committee for implementing Jewish Studies on campus, will be working along with the students to get this through the Board of Trustees.
Before the Jewish Studies Program can become a reality is must pass through the Academic Planning Committee, the Faculty Senate, the University Budget Committee, the Academic Affairs Committee and the Board of Trustees.
“I can see no place,” Dr. Gropp said, “where this will be stopped.”
Gropp said that the committee should have no trouble with the school on this problem as they have the man-power, planned courses, and reason for the need of it on campus.
Gropp will personally take
the petition to UM President Henry King Stanford, and back the group in their efforts.
“This is one thing I think the University needs,” Gropp said.
