Wallace Victim Of Assail Bullets Speakers At The Rock Captivated Politically Concerned UM Student! ... peaceful /mrficipation prevailed Proposal To Limit Privileges By DEBBIE SAMUELSON Of Tha Hurrlcana Staff A proposal to limit certain academic privileges to only those students in good academic standing was sent to the Faculty Senate by Dr. Sidney Besvinick, director of Academic Goals. Besvinick suggested that students who did not have a 2.0 or better (the criteria of good academic standing at UM) be denied such privileges as the credit-non-credit system, voluntary attendance, and the late drop date. He felt that these options were still privileges which have been extended to students and had been first instituted to give students leeway. However, students now think of these privileges as the norm. Voluntary attendance was, Besvinick said, to allow a student the option of not coming to class on occasion when there was a need to be somewhere else. Bcsvinick's proposal is presently in front of the Academic Planning Committee of the Faculty Senate. Dr. Jerome Catz, chairman of the Academic Planning Committee of the Faculty Senate said that the proposal is under study and deserves consideration. He felt the proposal would probably not be considered until the fall which would allow for studies to be done by subcommittees and the gathering of student feedback. —Hurrlcana Photos by DAVID POKRES5 Crosses Symbolizing War Dead Are Placed \ear Tin' Rock . . . while students listen to speakers Approximately 1500 Students Assembled At The Rock Friday . . . to protest the war ' -:",■■ "If" s'lj "ii'i' ii.||t| ..

Stew Albert, another Yippie leader, told reporters what to expect for the summer. "We'll put on the loudest shirts that tourists can wear," he said. "This is in itself the most dramatic incident in American history." When asked what he would do in case of violence at the Democratic National Convention, Rubin replied, "Drop the hydrogen bomb." Later, he said, "on the training of non-violence — I think that should be done." In response to a question on the possibility of a draft-Kennedy movement at the convention. Rubin said that he thought it could happen. "He's (Kennedy) in a place in history where he has to sacrifice himself for the world," Rubin said. "We're not making any compromises with the system," Rubin said when asked why he supports George McGovern for the Democratic nomination. When Abbie Hoffman suggested Shirley Chisholm as a possible running-mate for Mc Govern, Rubin said, "I'm now for McGov- crn-Chisholm. That's great." Rubin said that he supports McGovern hecause he is personal and understanding, and because he wants to play one section of the "ruling class" against the other. Abbie Hoffman said that he and Rubin merely support McGovern themselves, and that their support does not indicate the endorsement of Yippies. "Yippie is synonymous with human being," Hoffman said. One of the reporlcrs suggested that the Yippie leaders were too old to lead American youth, at which point Rubin replied, "Ho (Ho Chi Minn) was quite old when he led a revolution." "We don't think you have to be young to be a revolutionary," Albert said. Asked what he would do in case of trouble from Miami's Cuban community, Rubin replied, "We'll convert them." Stew Albert suggested passing out marijuana to the Cubans, while Hoffman said, Sugar, they like sugar." When Candice Bergen, who also attended the conference, was asked if she was a Yippie or if she aligned with them, she replied, "I'm a Rent-a-Celebrity." Finally, at the close of the conference. Stew Albert said, "This year there's no offseason in Miami So come on down for the convention. Yippie!"

Jerry Rubin. Donald Sutherland, Candice Bergen, and Stu Albert joined with UM students in a non-violent anti-war protest. A number of students standing behind the podium were victims of what was thought to be pepper gas. which caused eye, nose and throat irritations and sneezing and choking. Rally organizers were quick to pass around .«iter and dampened gauze to those affected. The incident was handled calmly and the person who let off the gas was not discovered. Actor Donald Sutherland began the rally with a reading from "Johnny got his Gun," a description of a war victim's outlook on the world, and its future, under the present system. Sutherland concluded his speech with, "I'm happy you're here, very happy." Jerry Rubin spoke next, covering a wide range of topics. Excerpts from his speech included: "people can change history, it's our lives that are at stake . . . there's a maniac in the White House . . . who is going to blow us all up because of his sex problems." Rubin, in discussing the Vietnam War, explained, "Vietnam is one country . . .

"I heard about it. I wasn't here. I was at a United Fund kickoff luncheon. I had made a commitment to lead off the United Fund and I think there is no more important act in Dade County than this," Stanford told 150 people at the University Forum, held at 3 p.m. Friday. He said when he speaks, people interpret it as the views of the University and was wary of people capturing his office for one political belief. "A university should not be political, although they should welcome .ill views." Stanford said. When reminded of the controversy surrounding the United Fund last year about the use of certin funds Stanford said the United Fund is nonpolitical. Abby Hoffman, peace activist and a speaker at the noon rally told Stanford that up north people think of UM as a basket weaving school and asked him how come the biggest problem was with fraternities, referring to a previous question put to Stanford.

Miss Zain told Kubit that a study will be done of the lake by the State Pollution Board. A student suggested to Stanford that more security guards be added to the three already patroling the campus. Dave Wike, acting head of security, said that it would cost an estimated $80,000 for three more security guards. The cost would include more patrol cars, equipment, etc. Other topics discussed at the Forum were- the attack studies program, the pun basing of the Phi Dell > I heia House, the 18 ding, and the housll people during the conventions.
