On March 14 voters will be going to the polls to voice their opinions to their respective parties. There are 11 Democratic and three Republican candidates running in the Florida primary for their party’s presidential nomination. There are also numerous amendments, recalls and ordinances being voted upon.
For the past several months, candidates have been campaigning in Florida attempting to brings many voters to the polls as possible. Florida’s primary is an important one because of the large number of seats the state holds on the electoral college.
It has been given a greater importance this year because the Democratic Convention will be held on Miami Beach in August.	*	*	*
Tuesday will be the first opportunity for 18-21 year olds to vote in a state primary and this has drawn candidates to UM.

John V. Lindsay, mayor of New York City, and holder of the ‘second toughest job in America,’ will be at the Rock Monday, at noon, in pursuit of America’s ‘toughest job.’
Lindsay, formerly a Republican, is now running on the Democratic ticket in Tuesday’s Florida Presidential primary.
The mayor of “Fun City” has taken his campaign to the people in hopes of winning his party’s nomination for President.
Billed as the nation’s spokesman for cities, Lindsay wants to build new urban housing, believing, “if we lose the cities, we lose the chance to realize our best hopes.“
national student political block.
Those eligible UM students who voted Tuesday, voted on reprints of the official ballots concerning both candidates and issues.
The remaining votes for the Presidential candidates went to: John Lindsay - 36, Hubert Humphrey - 22, George Wallace - 18, Henry Jackson - 17, John Ash-brook - 9, Paul McClos-key, Jr. - 9, Vance Hart-ke - 1, Eugene McCarthy - 1, Wilbur D. Mills - 1, and Sam Yorty - 0.
The results on the UM campus for the issues were as follows: 210 students favored an amendment to the Constitution prohibiting forced busing and guaranteeing the right of each student to attend the appropriate public school nearest his home, however, 256 students voted in favor of busing.
In favor of providing an equal opportunity for quality education for all children regardless of race, creed, color or place of residence and oppose a return to a dual system of public schools were 424 students, 30 students opposed this.
Those against an amendment to the Constitution allowing prayer in the public schools numbered 312, in favor were 146.
There was an overwhelming majority of students that voted in favor of the two pro-posed Constitutional amendments.	The
amendments were; proposing a revision of the Judicial Article of the Florida Constitution and proposing an amendment to Article Seven of the Constitution of the state of Florida by adding Section 15, permitting the issuance of revenue bonds to establish a fund to make loans to students.
Howard Zusman, SBG treasurer, who organized “Project 7 of March” on the UM campus, commented on tlje straw pri-
mary, “I was a little disappointed in the turnout, but I feel that the reason for the low turnout is the fact that publicity for the project began only this week when it should have	begun a month
ago."
Results from two other	Florida	schools
proved to be similar to UM’s	results.	Florida
State University and the University of Florida both chose McGovern as their top choice in the straw primary.
At Florida State University the results were as follows: McGovern -38%,	Lindsay - 14%,
Muskie - 13%, and Chisholm -10%.
At the University of Florida in Gainesville; McGovern - 29%, Muskie - 26%, Lindsay - 12% and Chisholm - 7%.

Parks For People Committee Urges Citizens 4 Green'

By IRIS HOROWITZ
Hurricina AiMCiata Editor
The Parks for the People Committee urges citizens to “think green” on the March 14 ballot by voting “yes” on the Parks Bond Issue.
The bonds will provide for $39,890,000 to be used for acquiring land and developing new and existing parks.
The city of Miami has been divided into three areas; community north, community south, and downtown.
The Miami River marks the division between community north and south. Downtown is the area south of the East-West Expressway connecting with the MacArthur Causeway, east of Interstate 95 and north of the Miami River.
The present park system consists of 57 parks ranging in size from tot lots to large community facilities. All neighborhoods in the city of Miami are not served by parks of adequate size, function or location.
“I’m asking for you to invest in the future of your city; March 14 is a very important day in the life of Miami, a day that allows you to decide whether you wisl) to pre-
serve land for recreational use or abandon it to other uses,” Miami Mayor David Kennedy said.
According to the People’s Park Committee, parks would mean that the city would be a more attractive place to live, work, shop, or visit. Also, it would prevent a complete encirclement by the “highrise monsters” presently taking over our horizon.
Park development would include, aside from purchasing and landscaping the land area itself, irrigation, park furniture, additional basketball and tennis facilities, lighting, play equipment, shelters, and community buildings.
“You can make Miami a safe and healthy place for our families to grow by seeing that it has the best parks system possible,” said City Commissioner Rose Gordon. “It is vital that your neighborhood have the parks where children can play safely.”
Each planned park area has a certain amount of money which will be allocated for that particular area. The City Commission has declared that the funds established for each park will be used only for that park.
According to the People’s Parks Committee, the cost of voting "yes” for the proposed bond
issue will cost a Miami homeowner only $10.50 per year.
Increased valuation of downtown property because of downtown park expansion will offset this cost and most homeowners will not have to pay any of the bond obligation, in all probability.
The March 14 bond issue is a general obliga-
tion bond, which means that the city of Miami’s credit supports the issue. Bonds are units of a loan provided for the city by investors who earn an annual tax exempt interest on the bonds they buy.
The city hopes to sell $39,890,000 worth of these bonds paying some five per cent interest. The bonds mature in 1991.

Shirley Chisholm, Senator Vance Hartke, former Vice President Hubert H. Humphrey, Senator Henry M. (Scoop) Jackson, Mayor John V. Lindsay, former Senator Eugene J. McCarthy, Senator George McGovern, Congressman Wilbur D. Mills, Senator Edmund S. Muskie, Governor George Wallace and Mayor Sam Yorty.
The three Republicans on the ballots are: Congressman John M. Ashbrook, Congressman Paul N. McCloskey and President Richard Nixon.
Several important amendments are beng voted on in the primary. There are four amendments to the state constitution on the ballot.
A proposed revision of Article Five of the Judicial Article of the constitution would “reorganize the trial courts into a uniform court system: providing standards and procedures for the selection and discipline of all judges: and establishing a system of court administration.”
A proposed amendment to Article Seven of the state constitution would add a new Section 15, permitting “the issuance, when authorized by law, of revenue bonds to establish a fund to make loans to students; to be effective immediately upon ratification by the electors.”
There are three straw ballots under consideration. The Issues are: an amendment to the U.S. constitution that would prohibit forced busing and guarantee neighborhood schools, standardization of fund allocations to public schools regardless of residence, and an amendment to the U.S. constitution to allow prayer in the public schools.
A proposed charter revision in Dade County would
1)	provide the county with an elected full time mayor with a salary and veto power over the county commission
2)	replacing the present nine-member county commission with a 14-member commission having three of its members elected at large and 11 elected from the districts,
3)	a full time vice-mayor, 4) a chairman of the board of county commissioners, 4) supervisor of administration and 5) a recall procedure on voted officials.
Four county commissioners are up on a recall question pending their removal from office. They are: Earl J. Carroll, Alexander S. Gordon, R. Hardy Matheson, and Ben Shepard.
Polls will be open from 7 a.m. to 7 p.m.
