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.

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.

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. O’Connell, wishing to have his position in rela- 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 Student Body Government (SBG) has contracted a law firm to provide students with legal assistance. An attorney will be available on Wednesday. April 26, from 6:00 to 8:00 p.m. Appointments may be set up through the SBG office, by calling extension 3082.
