UM To Build Exclusive
Educational Center
Student IMssent Rises
With 'Nam Escalation
By ERIC BALOFF
and ILENE ENTIN
Ot The Hurricana Staff
As the United States escalates the war in Vietnam, a
majority of students have
lost faith in the present Viet-
namization policy according
to this week' poll of 100 UM
students.
Here's how it went:
Do you believe the present
policy of Vietnamization is
working?
Yes     No     Undecided

"It seems obvious that
when left on their own, the
South Vietnamese army is in-
/erior Lo the Norlh," said one
UM student.
In light of mounting difficulties of the ARVN forces in
dealing with the protection
of South Vietnam without
U.S. support, it appears that
the Vietnamization program
has come to a grinding halt.
Massive U.S. air support is
credited with holding together whatever assemblage of
defense the South Vietnamese are able to build up.

Burstyn
Discusses
Elections
By PAUL SWANSON
Ot The Hurricene Staff
"I was elected because I've
worked hard for students at
UM for three years. I think
students have shown that
they appreciate that, and I'm
grateful for being given the
opportunity tn work for them
in this capacity for another
year."
With these words, Student
Body Government Presidentelect Sami Burstyn explained
his election.
Burstyn was elected in last
week's SBG elections when
he polled 54% of the more
than 2,000 votes cast.
In spite of the fact that
two of the three executive
candidates he ran with won,
Burstyn's vice-presidential
running mate, Kevin Poep-
pleman, was defeated by
Dennis DiMaggio.
When asked If he will be
able to work with DiMaggio
in the coming year, Burstyn
said, "I've known Dennis DiMaggio for three years. I've
worked with him in student
novernment this past year
and if I didn't think he was
qualified, he wouldn't have
been chairman   of  the Stu-

"If we hadn't started
bombing the North again, it
would have been all over by
now," said one coed.
Do     you     believe     there
should be a congressional approval  prior  to the  use of
any nuclear weapons?
Yes       No       Undecided
44% 4«% 20%
A similar proposal was
presented to the U.S. Senate
and was rejected. It is apparent, that by a slight margin,
UM students agree with the
feelings of the Senate.
"If the U.S. was attacked I
doubt the Congress would be
able to convene in time for a
vote. It would leave us defenseless," said one student.
"I think it is a relative
question: it all depends on
who is in the White House
and how much the people
trust him. I think in some
cases, I would rather see the
congress have control on
whatever nuclear power we
have," said one coed.
Do you recognize the existence of a national crime
syndicate?
Yes       No      Undecided
tw%        1%        1%
There seems to be little
doubt in the minds of UM
students as to whether or not
there is a crime syndicate operating in the United States.
Nearly every student
poilod was an undaunted believer in such a crime syndicate, with many students accrediting their new found beliefs on the recently released
film, The Godfather.
"Whever there is a free
flow of money you'll find
some Mafia involvement,"
said one student.
Would you have  liked to
have seen a more limited student government campaign?
Yes       No       Undecided
27%       64% 9%
It seems that regardless of
how hectic or chaotic student
government elections become, students generally
don't mind it. A majority of
students indicated that they
would not favor further campaign restrictions.
"It's practically the only
time students get involved in
anything, why limit that?"
asked one student.
"I think its a shame the
way a few overzealous campaigners literally paper the
campus with campaign literature. Nobody votes for a
candidate they merely vote
for whoever has the best
campaign," said one dissenter.
So it seems, as with any
perpetual motion machine,
student government, along
with its campaigns, will perpetuate.
'Most
Advanced'
In World
By MARK TARGE
Aisistant  Newt  Bailor
The Hurricane has learned
through exclusive sources
that UM will build "the most
advanced technological center for education anywhere
in the world," with a gift
from James L. Knight of
three and a half million dollars for part of the proposed
project.
Once completed, the new
Conference Center for Continuing Education will encompass within its complex:
a conference center, new offices and classrooms for the
Division of Continuing Education, a field house, and two
residence hall hotels.
Ground-breaking is scheduled for this summer, on the
site of the present Sewage
Treatment Plant, and completion is expected by February or March 1974.
"It will be the biggest phenomenon in Education today
and UM is very fortunate,"
Dean Robert Allen, initiator
of the project said.
"The idea of a center for
continuing education if a
long held concept at UM,"
Allan said, "it Is the very nature of UM to lead In this
area and make it a reality."
"We're talking to architects now, but we're working

College Presidents May Not
Censor Editors, Shevin Says
By PAUL SWANSON
Of The Hurricana Staff
Last Wednesday, State
Attorney General Robert Shevin decided that
university presidents
may not censor university publications.
Shevln's opinion, delivered to University of
Florida President Stephen O'Connell, ended
six months of controversy about the power of a
university president over
his campus's newspaper.
In spite of this, Shevin

Students Organize Non-Violent Vigil
To Protest Vietnam Re-escalation
By COLLEEN JOYCE
Of The Hurricana Staff
A group of concerned students got together last week
and organized a non-violent demonstration to protest the
bombing and re-escalation of the war in Vietnam.
A peaceful vigil was held from dusk on Thursday night to
dusk on Friday night and concluded with a candlelight meeting at the Rock Friday night.
At noon on Friday, Vietnam veterans protesting the war
spoke at the Rock and told of atrocities they saw in Vietnam.
Approximately 300 people attended the candlelight meeting Friday night. Speakers at the meeting were Jack Gordon,
who is president of the Washington Federal Savings and Loan
Association and president of Concerned Democrats of Dade
County; retired Air Force Lt. Col. John Coffey; Bill Pratt, a
UM senior; Lincoln Meyers; Dr. Zucker and Dr. Murry Binder-
man.
"Everyone that came didn't come to hear a rap about the
pros and cons of Vietnam, they came not because of something logically born from the mind, but from something born
from the heart," said Ron Belford, a spokesman for the antiwar protest.
The candlelight meeting concluded with a Memorial Service for those who have died and those who are being killed.
The service was conducted by Rev. Crowder, Rev. Mi-
nkh, and Gordon Silberman from the Hillel House.
"The beautiful thing was that the crowd wasn't to be
judged, they were very content with the feeling they had from
the ceremony," said Belford.
It ended with the crowd singing "God Bless America."
campus newspapers and
"within certain narrow
limitations" to fire an editor.
The events leading
Shevin to prepare an
opinion began with the
publication of abortion
referral information in
the UF Alligator.
Ron Sachs, former Alligator editor, published
the list in his October 6,
1971 edition against a
presidential order.
Sachs was promptly
arrested on a 104-year
old statute against distribution of abortion information and was charged
with a felony.
However, the law was
declared unconstitutional
and the decision was upheld in other cases, eventually forcing the Florida
Legislature to enact a
new law this year.
O'Connell, wishing to
have his position in rela-
A night and day vigil
near the Rock began last
Thursday in an effort lo
gather students to protest
against the re-escalated
war in Vietnam.
"The idea is just to
have people there sleeping
at night, to show their
protest," a vigil supporter
said. "There are no leaders in the UM anti-war
protests, just concerned
people. Whatever will
happen, will happen if students will get involved."
Nothing is definite concerning the future of the
vigil, but several students
who are maintaining it
said that they hope to
keep the watch peaceful,
and to keep it going as
long as possible.   .
tion to his campus newspaper clarified, requested
an opinion from Shevin.
The opinion said, in
part, that "the president
of a state university does
not have the authority to
exercise prior restraint
over the subject matter
printed in student publi-
cations, particularly
when there are no procedural safeguards of judicial superintendence and
prompt judicial review
and determination."
However, according to
Shevin, the president of
a university "does have
the authority to remove
an editor for publishing,
after being ordered not
to do so, material which
violates a state criminal
statute."
Because of this, an editor can be fired even if
the law he violated was
later judged to be unconstitutional.
Shevin recommended
that a president should
avoid firing an editor
"Prior to a judicial determination of the validity
of the statute."
The opinion clearly
gives Florida college
newspaper editors relatively full control of the
content of their newspapers, but allows a president to fire an editor for
violating "university policy and state statutes."
