Dr. Armin H. Gropp, UM vice president for academic affairs and dean of the faculties, will step down from his post July 1, 1972 for reasons of health. He will remain at UM as director of the office of institutional research and as a professor of chemistry.
The duties of the vice president of academic affairs and dean of faculties, “are the responsibilities for the operation of all academic affairs except medicine and nursing, and the review of all academic appointments Including medicine and nursing,” Dr. Gropp explained.
As director of institutional research. Dr. Gropp explained, "it’s an internal system in which figures and data are collected to aid in the operation of the University. There has always been a division, just no director."
Dr. Gropp, 56, joined the University in 1964 as dean of the graduate school and a year later was appointed to the vice presidency and dean-ship. He came to UM from the University of Florida where he had been assistant dean of the College of Arts and Sciences in charge of the college's graduate studies and research programs.
A physical and analytical chemist by profession, Dr. Gropp Is a consultant to the research laboratories of General Motors, DuPont and other industries where he did research on the problems of corrosion and electrochemistry.
Dr. Stanford said since the responsibilities of the cabinet position have expanded since Dr. Gropp accepted the post in 1965, he has decided to name two persons to handle the dual positions.
Named vice president for academic affairs was Dr. Carl E. B McKenry, former director of the Center for Urban Studies. Dr. John A. Harrison, dean of the Gradu-ate school will become dean of the faculties.
Both will begin working with Dr. Gropp so as to facilitate the transition.
Commenting on his term in office, Dr. Gropp said, “I’ve enjoyed a number of things accomplished at the University, the expansion of the liberal arts program into the University College system, the establishment of the Faculty Senate of academic affairs, the great number of graduates in special programs, and the establishment of a Sigma Si chapter on campus.
Looking towards the future, “I’m hopeful for the establishment of a Phi Beta Kappa chapter on campus, and the continuing improvements in the academic programs. This is the way we have to go," Dr. Gropp said.

Poll
Trustees Delay On Referendum
Many Dread Registration: Always A iHecOrdeaV
By ERIC BALOFF
Of Tlw Nurrlcan* Staff
With registration behind us, this week’s poll attempts to evaluate student feelings toward this sometimes hectic ordeal.
Here’s how it went:
Did you have any registration?
YES	NO
58%	23%
difficulty during
UNDECIDED
1*%
Apparently, the accelerated pace of registration caught up with many UM students.
“Everyone was running around, there were millions of forms to fill out, and nobody knew what was coming off. I was completely lost,” said one UM coed.
On special request, we polled the following questions for the Open Door program.
Are you familiar with the Open Door program?
YES	NO	UNDECIDED
74%	19%	7%
large majority of students were
aware of the Open Door program although many admitted knowing little about it.
Do you think the Open Door is a worthwhile organization?
YES	NO	UNDECIDED
60%	21%	19%
And now sports fans, for those of you that have been following the Commissioner Bowie Kuhn (Baseball) and Commissioner Pete Rozelle (Football) controversy over which sport is number one, here is what the UM student body feels about the subject.
FOOTBALL 67%
BASEBALL 22%,
BASKETBALL 8%
HOCKEY 2%
OTHER 1%
Although the Harris Survey and the Gallup Polls may have biased themselves by conducting their polls just days before the Super Bowl, it is evident, that on this campus, their results were accurate, since this poll was taken after the conclusion of both football and baseball seasons.

The UM Board of Trustees will act next Wednesday on the December Student Body Government referenda which was passed by the students by a 4-1 margin and unanimously endorsed by the UM Student
Senate.
The students, at that time, voted in favor of requiring SBG executive officers having to demonstrate financial need before receiving any form of financial
remuneration. They also
‘•No-Fault* Fan Is Enforced
Under a new Florida stale law, every student who drives a car, must have “nofault insurance,” whether he owns the car or not, if it is in the state for 90 days or more.
If a student is driving a car which is registered in another state and in another person’s name, it is up to the person whose name the car is registered under to supply the no-fault insurance. Every car must be covered," William F. George, Southeast regional director of financial responsibility said.
George said that if a student does not fully understand the mandatory no-fault insurance law, that he could come to the financial liability office, at 1350 N.W. 12 St., room 332, where any questions will be answered.
Advanced Registration System Scheduled For Next Spring

7096 students registered during the first two days of registration with what seemed to many students to be less confusion and shorter lines.
George Smith, head registrar said, “registration went better than it had in previous
years.”
Smith said, the advisory committee on registration and scheduling is planning to go to an advanced registration system by the spring of ’73.
"I’m optimistic that we can come up with a plan that will satisfy the needs of most students. It will satisfy the student who can prepare. The present system satisfies best the student who can best argue their way in,” Smith said.
Advanced registration was held for the 532 registration workers this spring, the workers were pre-advised in early January and their coupons were pulled for them.
Smith said that the only problems arising from pre-registration were: 1) students who registered and changed their minds between the time of advanced registration and when the kits were handed out, and 2) departments changed their offerings after advanced registration.
"No advanced registration system can work unless you have a firm class schedule set time,” Smith
student requests would be fit into a class schedule.
“Two drawbacks to this system are that students only want certain professors and
professors only want to teach at certain times,” Smith said.
“I feel that a lot of students and faculty take advanced registration and more or less worship the word. It will solve some problems and will create others,” Smith added.
Sydney Weisburg, assistant registrar, said shorter lines this spring resulted from a greater distribution of
students over the three days.
“Rather than having a heavy first day and mopping up the second and third, students were evenly distributed to avoid long lines in the LC building and the library. It looked like it was light and moved faster,” Weisburg said.
Weisburg felt students registered according to the amount of credits they had as of September 1971. Students with 60 credits and over registered Monday, 20 to 60 credits registered Tues-
day along with new freshman, and students with 0 to 20 credits registered Wednesday.
One registration worker said many courses were closed before registration opened because of pre-advising and departments pulling coupons for their own students.
“Some courses like sociology 300 with Aldrich were closed before registration opened due to the departments pulling coupons,” one student said.

voted to revoke the $3.00 student activity fee field-house fund allocation and reapportioning it to:
•	The Board of Publications (Hurricane, Ibis, Truck). . .$1.00
•	Radio station WVUM. . .$.30
•	The development of a professional legal aid program . . .$.45

•	The voter registration and electoral infor-m a t i o n programs , . .$.05
•	$.45 to be permanently deleted from the student activity collection
The referenda concerning the allocation of $.25 to the SBG contingency fund, and the question of freshmen resident students being permitted to maintain cars on campus were both defeated.
Also passed were two questions concerning the extension of regular library hours until midnight, and the initiation of a 24-hour study center in the library for the two weeks prior to, and including the week of final exams.
The initiation of the fieldhouse fee was voted on last spring by 1279 students with the approval of the Board of Trustees, and according to Vice President of Stu-d e n t Affairs William Butler, it will take trustee action to eliminate it.
The funds are needed for the continued operation of WVUM, and the Hurricane, which will cease publication March 21 without additional funding.
If the Board approves the results of the referenda, funds will be made available immediately.

Patio Test
Here at UM where both semesters are summer, scholarly work isn’t always a breeze. Here we have two UM students vienng for the top grade in the “Marathon Patio Sit-
ting and Endurance” test. Actually, Breezeway 412, the catalog designation tor
this senior level course, should be at least a 3 credit course instead of a noncredit elective, since many UM students spend three or more hours per day in preparation for this important examination.
SUMMON Gains Important Victory
By KINGSLEY RUSH
Of Th« Hurricane Staff
UM’s SUMMON program gained an important victory during semester break when the administration granted a waiver of the “one credit-only course per semester” rule to students participating in the program.
Another SUMMON request to waive the 16 credit limit and allow SUMMON students to take 18 credits, was postponed for the Board of Director’s approval.
SUMMON’s director, Norman Manasa, hailed the faculty members who were responsible for the credit-only waiver.
“I am grateful to the faculty senate and the two faculty committees that approved the waiver. It will be a tremendous boost to the program,” he said.
The waiver allows a student to participate in the SUMMON program even If he Is registered in another credit-only course for the semester. SUMMON may oniv be taken for credit-only.
Previously students were ineligible to take SUMMON If they were taking another credit-only course.
Manasa expected an increase in eniollment in the community service program because of the action taken by UM officials.
“We’ll get more people this semester. Before students wouldn't sign up for SUMMON because they would save their allowed credit-only course for a diffi-
Norin Manasa
. . . victorious
cult course they had to take. Also freshmen were required to take English Composition for credit-only, so this will be the first semester they will be able to take SUMMON,” Manasa said.
On Jan. 19 Manasa made a formal request of UM President Dr. Henry King Stanford to also waive the 16 credit limit for SUMMON students. This would have allowed students taking a full 15 hour load to additionally take SUMMON without paying a charge for excess credits.
Stanford Informed Manasa that he wouid call a spev.ai meeting of the Budget Committee and have a decision before spring registration.
Last Friday the Budget Committee met and according to Dr. Stanford, discussed the excess credit waiver. He then informed Manasa that it would require a vote oT the Board of Directors to allow the waiver.
No decision will he made that will affect the program until next fall.
