The names of those involved would not be released
by the Dean of Men’s or Women’s offices. It was stated that two of the students were previously charged with violations at the Dean of Men’s Office.
The recently charged students are accused of:
•	Participating in a demonstration which materially disrupted the normal conduct of the Office of Student Financial Planning.

The Interfratemity Council proposal on alcoholic beverages was presented to the Board of Trustees Committee on Student Affairs Tuesday by past IFC president and proposal author Tim Meaney, IFC President Ron Stone, Dean of Men William Sandler and Assistant Dean of Men William McCoy.
The Committee will make recommendations today to the Trustee Executive Board which has the power to act on the proposal.
According to Dean McCoy the proposal asks that fraternities be permitted to have parties at their houses where alcoholic beverages could be served to members 21 years of age and over.
The proposal further states that the parties would have to be registered by the university and properly supervised.
“All the proposal was asking
was that the university recognize what the state of Florida allows,” Dean McCoy said. “The proposal presents a more realistic approach to the use of alcoholic beverages to students 21 and over.”
He said that if the proposal is implemented, a social standards committee of IFC would be re-instated and violations of a fraternity would be handled by the IFC Judi-c i a 1 Board. Individual violators would be heard before the Dean of Men’s office.
“I am not optimistic that the proposal will be implemented on this one hearing,” McCoy said, “but it was received well by the committee and Ron did an excellent job.”
Currently, the University maintains a "blanket” policy concerning drinking on university property. Drinking, selling or using alcoholic beverages is prohibited.

the academic community to pursue legitimate educational objectives by causing the Student Financial Planning Office to be closed.
•	Participating in a demonstration during which entrance and exit routes of the Office of Student Financial Planning were blocked.
•	Participating in a demonstration which resulted in the damage or destruction of University property.
•	Not complying with requests and orders to vacate the Office of Student Financial Planning.
•	Remaining in the Office of Student Financial Planning after normal closing hours without permission.
A hearing date for the nine was not set. The University Disciplinary Hearing Committee is presently waiting for an appeals decision to be passed on the students’ right to counsel at the hearings.
The right of counsel question was raised by the legal advisor for the eight previously charged students (for the Dean of Men’s office sit-in) at their first meeting with the Disciplinary Hearing Committee in March.
Dean of the Law School Frederick Lewis, the appellate officer in the case, has not set a date for the appeals hearing.
The same hearing committee, chaired by Dr. James Vadakin of the economics department, will be hearing both cases when the decision on the appeal is made.

MRHA President Mark Krasnow received the most votes in yesterday’s USG presidential election, which remains unresolved because of discrepancies in expenditure reports and several complaints aimed at one slate of candidates.
The complaints could result in disqualification.
The student elections commission met for five hours after the polls closed Thursday and began an investigation into candidate expenditure reports and complaints.
“A lot of the commission members want physical proof for the election complaints,”
Election Commission Chairman Lynn Siegel said. “There are a lot of complaints that haven’t been resolved yet.
"This is the filthiest, dirtiest election I’ve seen in five years on this campus, and that's a quote!”
Another member of the election commission, Robert Sherman, said: “I don’t believe that any attempt, prejudicial or otherwise, was made to disqualify any one slate; and that the time involved in reaching a decision was done in the interests of a fair and impartial election.”
Sherman said that no one from the elections commission “ordered” any slate to gather campaign literature from any other slate as evidence for the complaints.
There are still three major complaints to he settled. The commission will meet at 4:30 this afternoon in an attempt to further investigate the complaints.
Unofficially elected with Krasnow were his running-mates Don Spurlock, for vice-president and Bob Drake for treasurer.
In a statement to the Hurricane, Krasnow said: “We now understand that the election commission, composed of Yasser appointees, is now engaged in a last ditch attempt to disqualify the team that the students elected and insert the ‘heir apparent’ of the Yasser administration. They claim that we circulated more literature than we declared.
“This is not true. Our receipts are substantiated by a notarized statement.
“If there are additional literature or stickers being supplied to the election committee, it’s because the other

Members of the Miami Boycott Committee will participate in a three day march on Washington, beginning today, in a protest of administration support of grape growers.
The marchers will carry with them a replica of the Liberty Beil and it’s clapper chained on their 35-mile trek from Maryland.
"This march is in protest of the Defense Department's purchase of grapes, Nixon’s support of the growers, and Department of Agriculture subsidies to the growers,” State Coordinator of the Boycott Jim O’Keefe said.
“The bell symbolizes the bondage of the farmworkers. It won’t be unchained until
the strike is settled," O’Keefe said.
There will be representatives from all over the country participating in the march.
