4Reopen Classes, ’ Court Orders"

By LINDA KLEINDIENST And ELIZABETH OSTROFF
Of Th* Hurrican* Staff
No matter what happens this week, classes at UM must remain open — by order of Circuit Court Judge Henry Balaban.
The decision came Saturday after a hearing at which President Henry King Stanford was ordered to show cause why the University’s classes should be closed.
Two UM law students, Arthur Cohen and George A. Kokus, filed a writ of mandamus against President Stanford last Thursday after the announcement came that classes would be closed from Thursday at 2 p.m. until Monday at 7 a.m.
A hearing was held Friday at which time Judge Balaban ordered the classes to reopen Saturday unless President Stanford could show cause as to why they should remain closed.
Cohen said that there were many law students in “full accord” with their action against Stanford. He claimed that “the majority of students are behind us.”
The two students challenged Stanford’s right to close classes because, “it would harm students, causing them to suffer.”
Cohen explained that he and Kokus both are enrolled in a course on "Constitutional Law,” taught by Dr. Clifford C. Alloway, which was scheduled to meet 9 a.m. to noon Saturday.
Alloway refused to reschedule a make-up class for the 55 students enrolled in the course, unless the university would reopen classes so that he could hold the class this weekend.
Cohen and Kokus contended that “it is President Stanford’s duty to educate, and it’s up to the court to enforce the righst of the students to get the education they paid for.”
Dr. Stanford said that his decision to suspend classes came after a series of events, beginning with the memorial service “for victims of violence everywhere.”
Headquarters at LM
8 Committees Set Up By Peace Strike South
By KATHY WILLIAMS
Of The Hurricane Staff
Many outlets for student
involvement in strike activities have been devised by UM’s Peace Strike South (the student strike co-ordinating
committee.)
“We were fumbling around with no set organization with everybody doing everything,” Bruce Goldstein, co-chairman of the publicity committee said. “So, we decided to set up committees for more efficiency.”
Volunteer students can now sign up at a table in the Breezeway to work on any of eight committees. Students are asked to leave their telephone number so that they can be contacted by the chairman of the individual committees.
The Political Action Committee is composed of two sections — City and Organizations.
The City Committee is chaired by Bernie Shapiro. Students working in this area will be canvassing, petitioning, recruiting, and phoning and sending letters and telegrams.
The Organizations Committee is concerned with contacting organizations for literature, petitions, speakers, and notifying them for interaction. Ruth Karp is in charge.
The Publicity Committee is chaired by Eric Layton, and will be concerned with informing television, radio, and newspapermen of actions on campus. They will also release press notices.
Art Lehman and Patrick Goldstein are the organizational heads of the High Schools Committee which will be working with high school students.
The Regional Coordination and Information Committee is devided into the State Committee headed by Bertha Berriz, and the National Committee is chaired by Rick Merwin.
The Finance Committee will be responsible for keeping the books, distributing money, and collecting funds from organizations. Students interested in this phase of operations should contact chairman Peter Yaffe.
The Voter Registration Committee, co-chaired by Earl DeVeaux and Barbara Clancy, is making a drive to speak with the community on an individual basis.
The aim of the committee is to register the 45-55 per cent of Dade County residents who are not registered
“I didn't regard my decision as a surrender to the hard core radicals blocking the entrance to the administration building,” Dr. Stanford said. "It was the most crucial decision facing me since I arrived at the university.”
Dr. Stanford said, “T h e faculty believed that It was confronted with trying to return the campus to peace as
quickly as possible and the Faculty Senate believed the solution was to suspend
classes.”
He also said he regreted
the necessity for the suspension of classes, but felt it would have no effect upon the completion of the students’ course requirements, as this semester includes four extra days anyway.
Chairman of the Faculty Senate Dr. Carl McKenry said that the Senate expressed concern for the best way out of a "difficult situation.” That is why the Senate recommended that classes be suspended.
Dr. McKenry said he and many other faculty members were concerned over the restlessness of the students.
They felt that a few days without classes would be a good “cooling off” period.
Dr. Stanford, however, said that the actions of the "hard-core radical group” did not directly influence his decision to suspend classes, although he did fear violence from two sources — from "non-sym pathetic” students who might attack those blockading the Ashe building
or the reaction of the students blockading the Ashe building, should the police arrive.
In announcing the decision, Judge Balaban said that the decision Was a landmark one in Florida courts for Florida universities.
"I think our meeting today has had a measure of under-

to vote in the next election.
The Campus Program Committee will be concerned with on-campus involvement through seminars, movies, speakers, teach-ins, and campus organizations. They are also involved with the continuity of the programs.
The eighth committee will be concerned with clerical work on campus. The committees will need clerical personnel to work 24 hours a day, to handle papeii work and telephones.
Committee chairmen were selected from those students who had shown extreme interest throughout the week.
"We’re asking anyone who is interested to contact either the people in the breezeway or the USG office to become involved," Goldstein said.
No Guns For Guard Chief Says
WASHINGTON — (AP) — National Guard headquarters has authorized all states to use National Guardsmen as watchmen, without loaded weapons, to guard against arson and other possible violence against armories during the current tense period.
A message from Maj. Gen. Winston P. Wilson, chief of the National Guard Bureau, to the state guard headquarters gave this permission for special paid duty as watchmen until next Monday.
Wilson said, “The mission of such personnel is to provide warning and call for assistance from established police agencies, and not to repel.”
He directed that such watchmen "not be permitted to carry or fire loaded weapons, or take any police action,” adding:
“It should not appear that a military guard has been established at facilities within civilian communities.”
Spokes me n said the Guard bureau’s action does not constitute an order but carries authority to spend federal money for this purpose. Technically, the men will be on federal training status during the evenings and weekend while serving this duty.
Because of the threat of violence on the UM campus last week, both William Rusher, publisher of National Review, and Governor Claude Kirk did not appear here.
Rusher, who was sched-u 1 e d to speak Thursday night, was cancelled after a day of demonstrations on the campus.
Kirk was to hold a 12 hour vigil on the soccer field but called Friday afternoon to postpone his visit until another time “when the students would like to have me come and talk to them.”
His call came after members of the Faculty Senate, fearing possible disruptions, sent a telegram asking him to postpone his visit.

Students And Faculty March For Peace

March Pictures .... 7
Nearly 400 UM students, faculty members, and representatives of the Women’s International League for Peace and Freedom, marched for peace Saturday morning in downtown Miami.
The march, sponsored by the Strike Committee, originated in Bayfront Park and moved down Flagler St. to the Federal Building accompanied by parade marshals with walkie-talkies and a police motorcycle escort.
Shouting, "One, two, three, four, we don't want your f — —ing war,” “Give peace a chance,” and "Peace now!," the marchers carried their placards and banners down the thoroughfare, as aston-
ished shoppers looked on.
"We didn’t expect a great crowd; the university has been apathetic — for so long," Strike Committee, member Bruce Goldstein said. "But there are a lot of people who have gone to Washington.”
At the Federal Building the marchers settled down to listen to a variety of speakers as police and newsmen looked on.
The first speaker at the Federal Building rally was art instructor Ron Leis who said, “We didn't convince anyone by our march, but we did demonstrate that this issue is so important that we were willing to sacrifice our day for it."

Students to Vote on Nixon’s Policies
Mark Krasnow
.. . asks opinion
By MARK BERMAN

USG President-elect Mark Krasnow and his executive officers have planned a university-wide referendum for today and tomorrow so UM can take a more definite stand on its sentiments regarding President Nixon’s Southeast Asia policies.
Krasnow said the referendum would show how the university really feels, so that those who opposed last week’s protest movement cannot claim that the class halt and demonstrations were the work of a small minority of radicals.
He said the referendum would make UM different. "We don’t want our university to fall into the rut which so many colleges have fallen into, where sincere protests against the war have degenerated into a confrontation between administration and students,” Krasnow said.
It will include the following questions:
•	Are you basically in favor of, or against the Nixon administration's actions regarding the war in Indo-China?
—	I FAVOR the Nixon administration's actions.
—	I OPPOSE the Nixon administration’s actions.
•	Do you feel that it is ever appropriate for the University administration to summon outside forces (police, national guard, etc) to assist in implementation of an administration policy?
—	I believe that it IS proper for outside forces to be called.
—	I believe that it IS NOT proper for outside forces to be called.
•	Do you favor the complete abolishment of ROTC on this campus?
—	I FAVOR the abolishment of ROTC.
—	I OPPOSE the abolishment of ROTC.
•	Do you approve of the class halt called by Dr. Stanford?
—	Yes, I would FAVOR
—	No. I would NOT FAVOR
“We believe that the university must adopt the most effective way of expressing its sentiments on the current political issues, acting as a community,” he said. "We believe this method is the ballot box.”
Ballot boxes will be set up from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. in the Student Union, the Memorial Classroom Building, the 980-1938 breezeway, the loggia of the science building and the Mahoney-Pearson Complex. Results will be announced on WVUM as soon as they are known.
All members of the university community, students, faculty and administrators will be entitled to vote.
Microphones will be placed on the patio and the Rock all day Tuesday and Wednesday to encourage dialog.
people are dead, you don’t need anymore rhetoric.”
“It’s man who has caused the situation in Cambodia, and it’s man who’s going to change it,” said Rabbi Stephen Jacobs of Temple Israel. “We have national leaders who are splitting the fabric of our society.”
Ann Allen of the Women’s League said, “There is no' generation gap. We share the
grief of all of you. We are together.” She then read a letter that the League had sent to President Nixon.
English professor Arthur Phillips said, "I’m proud of the way you’re conducting yourselves. You’re not alone in this; many of your professors at the university are behind you all the way.”
Dr. Shepard Faber of the Department of Physical Science commented on President Nixon's speech. “I saw a man who finally realized that you people really mean it when you say, ‘We want peace now.’ You’re the conscience of the country!”
Law student Gary Grommet who sat in on the class halt hearing earlier in the morning called for the impeachment of Judge Henry Balaban for his alleged prejudiced handling of the case. "Balaban implied that we were going to ‘turn the asylum over to lunatics,’ ” Grommet said.
Dr. Keith Wellman of the Chemistry department said, "You’ve made your point peacefully. There is no generation gap, just people who won’t listen.”
At 12:30 the parade permit expired, and the protestors dispersed after making arrangements for a 7:00 p.m. rally, where further shut-down of classes was scheduled to be considered.

A motion to adopt the three point optional grading system recommended by President Henry King Stanford was accepted 92-20-4 at last night’s meeting of the Concerned Faculty and Administrators.
President Stanford’s recommendation came after Circuit Court Judge Henry Balaban issued an amended peremptory writ of mandamus at 2:15 p.m. yesterday. The amended writ states that Saturday’s decision ordering President Stanford to open classes should “not be interpreted as restricting the right of . . . Henry King Stanford ... to make such decisions! and policies regarding the voluntary class attendance or academic grading as he may ... see fit. . .”
Dr. Stanford has called a meeting of the Faculty Senate Council and the Academic Dean’s Council for this morning. At that time he plans to convey his recommendation on the three point system with his strong endorsement.”
The three point program:
•	Attendance is optional in all classes.
•	An incomplete, take-home exam or waiver of exam should be available when the student requests it.
•	When possible, finai grades should be awarded on work completed.
Dr. Robert Hively, chairman of the Honors Program, originated the plan with a group of concerned students.
Marty Weinkle, one of the coordinators for Peace Strike South, said that the committee will maintain its present policies, including the voter registration drive, leafletting and telegram and letter setups in the community.
Weinkle doesn’t believe that President Stanford’s statement was an appeasement.
“I’m really happy about this, because it is the first ' time that students, faculty and administrators have banded together to do something on this campus,” he said. “Peace Strike South is standing firmly behind President Stanford."
"We’re going to try to do what we can now to change this University through discussion with the faculty and administration.”
Weinkle also announced that President Stanford plans to seek audience with President Nixon to present petitions, telegrams and letters from UM students.
Chairman of the Art Department Bill Ward said that 147 universities and colleges across the country have adopted the three point program.
Another motion passed by the Concerned Faculty and Administrators recommended that no punishment be issued for last week’s strikes or the students currently being tried for their participation" in the February United Black ' Student sit-ins.
At a rally at the Rock on Sunday afternoon, President Stanford said, “If it is found that students were willfully blocking entrance to the building, charges will be pressed.”
He said that the investiga ! tion will be conducted by the Student Affairs Division.
President Stanford said that photographs were taken the day of the Ashe Building sit-in beginning at 7 a.m., at his direction.
