UM To Build Exclusive
Educational Center
By ERIC BALOFF and ILENE ENTIN
Of Tho Hurricant Stiff
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:
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.
Do you believe the present policy of Vietnamization is working?
Yes No Undecided 2%	»3%	5%
“It seems obvious that when left on their own, the South Vietnamese army it in-/erior to the North," 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.

“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 to work for them in this capacity for another year.”
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 government 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%	46%	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
»8% 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 polled 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.

The Hurricane has learned
through exclusive sourcei 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 is 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."

College Presidents May Not Censor	Editors, Shevin Says
By PAUL SWANSON
Of Th« Hurricane Staff
Last Wednesday, State Attorney General Robert Shevin decided that university presidents may not censor university publications.
Shevin’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 noted a president’s right to fuction as publisher of
Students Organize Non-Violent Vigil To Protest Vietnam Re-escalation
By COLLEEN JOYCE
Of TI» HurrktM Its»
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 n®t 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-nich, 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.

A night and day vigil near the Rock began last Thursday in an effort to gather students to protest against the re-eacalated 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.”
SBC Offers Legal Help
