I'm sure if you all get in there and take names and room numbers

Usually the sap rises in the
spring
This year, however, it rose
in the fall — and quite a few
saps at that.
It all started Sunday night
with an explosion near the
men's nest (Barker House) on
the southernmost part of UM
main campus That drew the
flock (it also blew out some
windows and doors) and immediately a cry went up for
worms, er. feminine nylon.
And off the formation flew
lo the site of 720 dorm — the
women's eagle's nest. There
screeched for "panties"—whatever they are.
The chickadees were good
according to the dormitory
mother hens. According to the
chickadees they weren't. But
some of that might be chicken
feathers.
The un-armed scouts guarding the outside of the nest managed to root the crowd back to
the heavenly side of the campus (across the street from the
dormitory near the religious
associations' houses ) They decided to light there for a while
and watch the antics of the
scarecrows on the various nest
levels.
Soon, however, as sleep clouded their eyes and hunger tore
at their stomachs, the weary
birds launched into graceful
flight and headed for their
snuggly nests. Maybe it was
obvious they weren't going to
get anything else snuggly.
The policemen said it was
quite orderly. The most orderly
demonstration of what-ever-it-
was that they had ever seen.
Of course it was, who ever
heard of birds flying out of
formation?

attempt at a panty raid.
CLASSES CANCELLED
Bomb Hoaxer Jars UM
Administrative spokesmen and
the Coral Gables Police report
that there have been three hoax
bomb threats on Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday of this week.
All three were received by the
Gables Police Desk between 12
and 1 pjn. They were then referred to UM personnel for action.
As a result, 1 o'clock classes
in the LC building were dismiss- j
ed Monday and Wednesday and
the building was searched while
police and fire department personnel stood by. The Tuesday
call was ignored because administrators received the "alert" after the hour "set" by the the
caller for the bomb to explode
Further reports of calls cannot
be  substantiated.
"The students have handled
themselves very well in this situation.' noted Henry Sikir. Assistant Dean of Men "There has
lieen no panic, and they have !
l>ehaved commendably under
these trying circumstances."
"Panic, nothing," commented
one of many students who missed i
two consecutive Natural Science
lectures as a result of thc hoaxes.
"We just might panic soon if we
can't get some of our work done."
Panty  Raid
"There was a lot of normal
excitement, but no one misbehaved."  noted  Mrs   Corneil  Da
vidson, assistant head residence
counselor in Mahoney Hall.
"The boys came trooping
over and the girls were asked
to go to their rooms and turn
off their lights and look out
the windows if they wished. I
was on all of the floors, and
from what I saw, everyone cooperated."
The blast in Barker House resulted directly in blown-out windows and doors, and indirectly
in the Tuesday night "shakedown" search of Barker and Be-
lande houses by Housing Office
personnel. "We found all manner
of prohibited and dangerous material—firecrackers, knives, shotgun shells, spearguns, beer, hard
liquor, stolen signs and knives,"
said Housing Director James
Grimm "First offenders will be
warned, others will be referred
to the Dean of Men."
During   the   "riot"   administrators  and  proctors  collected
II) cards from the men participating. *Thus far only a dozen
or so ID cards have been turn-
in to me." said Assistant Dean
of Men  Henry  Sikir, "But  we
intend  to  talk  to  as  many  nf
the men involved as possible."
Dean  David  left  for a  tour of
Russia   Monday,   with   the   comment that "We take a dim view
of  this  sort  of  thing,   but   until
we hear all sides no disciplinary
action is planned."
Police have estimated that some
500 men were involved

week   by   the   National   Collegiate   Athletic   Association
;(NCAA) for a period of one year beginning Nov. 4, 1964,
according to Coach Bruce Hale.
The   action   against   the   team
followed   UM   violations  of   provisions in the NCAA charter governing   finances and  aid  to  athletes, and  recruiting regulations
Arrording to a telegram sent
to President Henry King Stanford by the NCAA Council. "A
representative of the CM athletic  interests provided  a  student athlete with air transportation from Miami to his home
in the summer of 196.1."
The telegram continued, "During the summer of 1963. the representative   of   the   University's
athletic interests provided the
prospective   student   athlete  with
i free board and room in his home
at the time the prospect was employed by the representative."
"UM representatives provided
the prospect with free air transportation from his job to the
area of UM so the prospect could
enroll in the summer session,"

The probationary period means
that  the UM  team may not participate   in   NCAA   championship
basketball  games or those  postseason   events   cooperating   with
the NCAA.
The decision will affect no sport
but basketball
The team is eliminated from
play toward the National Invitational  Tournament  in  Madison Square Garden, New York.
CM cagers had gone three times
in the past five years.
Coach  Hale  said  he felt sorry
for the boys  "It is an unfortunate
thing "
Although he accepted the
judgement of the NCAA, he explained, "I did not realize any
rules had been violated at the
time of the infraction."
"No games will be cancelled,
but we will not he competing
for a NCAA championship or
any event sponsored by them."
Hale added.
The statement from the administration, released through
Hale, concluded, "Thc administration of the University of Miami regret* the action of the
National Collegiate Athletic As-
•oriation The violations were
unintentional."
A UM student was suspended
this week for dishonesty during
the taking of one of his exams,
according to Tim Anagnost, Honor Court  chairman.
The student acted in violation
of section one of the Honor Code,
which describes infractions such
as the use of unauthorized aids
during the taking of an exam.
Another student taking the
same examination reported the
cheating  to the  instructor.
When confronted with the
charges, the student denied them
He was subsequently found guilty
and was cited for violation of
section two of the Honor Code -
withholding information from the
Honor Council.
The student was given an "E"
in the course, put on probation
for the rest of his college career
and suspended from thc university.
Anagnost commented. "It is
our hope that more students
will realize it is up to us to
promote a high standard of integrity   for  onr  school."
"Dishonesty may never be completely eliminated from our
school, but we can all work hard
to curb it as much as possible,"
he concluded
