Held Thurs. policy

A final voter registration drive will take place Thurs., May 11 to register newly qualified students for the September 12 Florida nominating primary.
A registration bus will be open from 9:30 a.m. until 4 p.m. at the Student Union circle.
The newly passed residency requirement is 60 days in Dade county. Also, students must be U.S. citizens and 18 years/of age.
Students must prove they meet these requirements.
Proof of age can be accomplished with a current UM ID card. A draft card, birth certificate, passport, naturalization papers, or a Florida driver's license can be used in lieu of the card.
The deadline for the Florida primary is August 12; therefore, students who plan on being out of town for the summer should see to it that they are registered before they leave. This is also an opportunity for students wishing to change either their cards or addresses.
The election will cover all state senators, representatives, metro commissioners, judgeships, and the Dade County school board.
Students should check up on their district boundaries as they are being rearranged. One votes only for those candidates running in his own district.
If you want any further information, call the Dade County Elections Division at 377-7501, or the SBC. office at 284-3082.
“It is our firm commitment that the adoption of this proposal would be very detrimental to the survival of the fraternity system on this campus,” Leong said.
“There was never any decision to discontinue the policy,” Dr. William Butler, vice president for student affairs said.
Butler said that it was just a recommendation which had come from the Housing Office as one of three alternatives for solving room rental deficits, but had not been acted upon.
The three alternatives are:
•	Continue the present policy indefinitely
•	Modify the policy to gradually reduce freshman moves
0 Discontinue the policy within the next year
UM President Henry King Stanford has directed the division of student affairs to conduct a study of a change in the University’s move-out policy and the impact it might create.
Dr. Stanford asked that this study will be reviewed in conjunction with a five-year study of UM fraternities and sororities which was submitted to the trustee committee on student affairs last month.
“Shortly, I’m going to appoint a study group to fulfill the charge the president has given to me,” Dr. Butlnr said. “I hope by early fall we will have the study in relating to fraternities and finances.”
The study will include the financial importance of the sororities, fraternities, intramurals and other areas of the UM community, and evaluate their contributions to the campus, Dr. Butler added.

May 5, 1972
Mr. Daniel Y. Leong President
Interfraternity Council University of Miami
Dear Dan:
//
Thank you for the recommendations from the Interfraternity Council concerning the proposal made by the Residence Halls Office that the University discontinue the policy of permitting up to 75 freshmen to move into fraternity houses each year.
The proposal to discontinue this policy was one of several al- /' ternatives submitted to the University's Budget Committee in an 7 effort to reduce the annual deficit in the operation of the University's residence halls program.
You will be pleased to know that I have accepted Dr. Butler's recommendation, readied after considerable consultation with departments in the Division of Student Affairs, that the University continue to permit up to 75 freshmen to move into fra- i ternity houses in the academic year, 1972-73. However, 1 am directing that the Division of Student Affairs conduct an in-depth study of the impact, including but not limited to financial considerations, which an alteration of the University's fraternity move-out policy in 1973-74 would have upon the campus. The study is to include appropriate recommendations for University policy in this matter as well.’ Also, I am asking that the study be / reviewed not only by the administration but also by the Board of 7 Trustees' Committee on Student Affairs in conjunction with a review of the Greek System Report, a five-year study of University • of Miami sororities and fraternities. This study was submitted to the Trustee Committee on Student Affairs only last month.
f
I have never doubted the importance and value of the fraternity system to the University's extra-curricular programs. I have said so or. many occasions, both ir. oral statements and in written communications. I have deplored the trend of declining fraternity! membership established in recent years.	J
Of far more importance than the freshman move-out policy to the welfare and survival of the fraternity system on the University of Miami campus is the attitude of students toward the fraternities.
As was brought out in our meeting with IFC, the more fundamental r
problem is why students do not join fraternities in sufficient f numbers to permit them to meet their financial obligations.
This is not said in any means of criticizing the fraternities, but rather raising the issue that everyone of us who believes in the survival of the fraternity system, including the non- / i fraternity student leaders, must face. After the banquet the other night, during which the new student government leaders / were installed, I suggested to the new leaders that the best thing they could do to assist th^ fraternity system would be to join a fraternity, if they were not already members.
I know, Dan, that the fraternities will want to cooperate fully with the Division of Student Affairs as it conducts its in-depth study in the months ahead. Finally, I can assure you that your recommendations will receive the most serious consideration which is due them.

At UM Campus
Since 1926 when the citizens of Coral Gables first marched in celebration ot the opening of UM, the University has continued to be a young, dynamic, progressive institute of higher education.
Forty six years later, UM is the south’s most distinguished independent University, and will soon be celebrating Bi-Centennial Anniversary in 1976 — 50 years of growth.
By 1975 the campus should look like this map, a city of high rises, plazas and complexes. When completed, the new additions to the present campus will include:
