              Students Nabbed On Dope-Threat (^H'àrgeij

A 21-year-old UM sophomore was arrested last Friday night for possession of marijuana.
The Metro Vice Squad was conducting a search of a trailer owned by Wally Rustia, 33, at 14701 NE 6th Ave., when UM student Charles J. Bassoline and 21-year-old Paul Terry O’Feldman arrived in Bassoline's car, which contained the marijuana.
According to Vice Squad Lt.
I jury Fcingold, his department raided the trailer after a two-week stake-out. In it were 51 heroin fixes and 5.000 narcotic pills.
Police speculate they might have been part of the cache stolen from the S and U Drug Store, 14763 NE 6th Ave , earlier this month.
If Bassoline is convicted, he might be subject to a five-year term in Raiford, the state prison.
Lt. Feingold pointed out that
possession of pep pills, marijuana and narcotics is a felony and can carry at least a one-year term in Raiford.
He adds that he has found “more smoking of marijuana than use of the others" on the UM campus. "We have heard reports of it, but as far as we can put our finger on it, we haven't found anything."
Feingold emphasized the fact that judges aren't lenient on narcotics offenders.
A former UM student was arrested Saturday by FBI agnets for allegedly threatening the life of President Lyndon Johnson.
Paul Michael Back, 26. was reported by a friend to have said, "If Lyndon Baines Johnson ever comes to Miami, I would kill him. even if 1 had to give my own life.”
Back, who worked as a folk singer under the name of “Oz Bach." was picked up after 19-year-old Reed Trencher, also a folk singer, reported Back's
alleged comment to the F'BI.
Attorney Kenneth Dinnerstein maintains his client, Back, has committed no crime. Secret Service agents say they have found no indication Back intended to carry out his threat.
Wednesday, Mrs. Ruth Back, 46. the folk singer's mother, lashed out at Trencher, saying the accusations against her son were “a cruel hoax" which will “ruin" her son’s life.
Mrs. Back's statement that Trencher's parents, Mr. and
Mrs. George Trencher, IR33 S. W. 21st St., were former members of the Communist Party, was barked up by reports of the House Un-American Activities Committee Nov. 29. 1954.
Mrs. Back defended her son saying, “We have respect for President Johnson. He is representative of duly constituted authority.”
"My son would never threaten anybody,” she concluded.

Formal fraternity rush lor all eligible freshman men will begin 1 p.m., Sunday, Nov. I
The Freshmen Rush Smoker. prelude to two weeks of
rush parties and dinners, will be in the Brockway Lecture Hall of j the Otto G. Richter Library.
"One of the biggest questions which face men at the university is whether they should pledge a fraternity or remain independent.” said IFC president Jack Afflchach.
And those men who choose the J Greek way of life are still faced with the problem of choosing : among the many social fraterni- j ties here according to AITlebach.
"The advantages and disad- j vantages of the community living in the dormitory system as compared to living in a fraternity house can be a factor in deciding J to join the Greek system, as can ! the desirability of the social j prestige, real or imagined of the fraternity man.
“With UM affiliated units, as with most large universities, the choice depends entirely on the individual’s own desire." concluded Afltebach.
To be eligible to receive a bid at the end of the formal rush period, a freshman student must be carrying at least 12 credits and not have had any grades sent home after mid-terms.
"I cannot over-emphasize the importance of freshmen rushees going to every possible rush party during the two weeks of formal rush,” said Advisor to Fraternities Kenn Kerr.
"Unless a rushee introduces himself to every possible fraternity, he is liable to feel at a j later date that he has made a j wrong decision and he may regret it.”
Kerr cautions, however, “No rushee or qualified freshman may attend any evening meal at any fraternity house unless it is one of the scheduled rush parties listed on the IFC calendar.”
Schedules are available at Dean Noble Hendrix’s office.

In a prepared statement, Bonehill told the rouncil. ”1 have reached the point where I no longer desire to he used as the scapegoat for the ineptness of student government, especially concerning times I have been blamed for failures that I have had nothing to do with."
“The reason most often heard,” ] he continued, “is that I am trying to sabotage USG for personal reasons which seem quite obvious.

Interfratemity Council, Pan-hellenic Council, Men’s Resi-: dence Hall Association, Associated Women Students and Stu- ! dent Religious Association, would lose their seats on the Council. In place of their roting Council positions these organizations would have received non-voting, advisory positions on the President's Cabinet in USG.
The new amendment to the amendment would provide for Council seats for MRHA, AWS, IFC, SRA, and Panhellenic. as well as class representatives.
In its original form, the initial amendment was passed on the first vote by the Council two weeks ago The tenth and deciding vote was cast by USG president Lee Clifford by parliamen- j tary procedure rule.
The initial amendment had to receive second two-thirds majority vote at the USG meeting However, with the new amendment to the amendment the entire voting procedure must begin again on Monday.
“I am certain that we will j have no trouble in passing the amendment as it stands now.” i said Ron Sabo, who initiated the move to abolish the school governments in favor of class representation.
me and I think have had their opportunities on this campus jepordized.
“Whether or not personal reasons have entered into my votes I have tried to fulfill the duties that have been given me.” MKIIA president Josh Ver-naglia said Monday afternoon. “I am. of course, sorry to see Dirk resign. However, Dirk did not resign under any form of coertion and the organization (MRHA) has not been badgered at all. The reasons which he addueed me in submitting his resignation were personal.
"1 am sorry to see Dick go because although I have often been on opposite sides of the table, he has been sincere in his opposition,” said council member Ron Sabo. "My only regret is that in his final speech to the council he did not follow his own rule of not making personal attacks on the council administration.” Before making the final resignation announcement, Bonehill told council members, “I leave you with this challenge. Be your own representatives. Do not compromise your duty to your constituents for personal aggrandizement.
“Do not take orders on how and what to vote for or against because the 'machine' has promised you a spot at the next election. Stir up interest in t'SG before its fading image sinks into the depths of oblivion. Fateh rouncil member has taken a solemn oath. I think it should he fulfilled to the fullest.
"In concluding, I will always be available to help USG. Try to strengthen your position on behalf of the students. Never fail to carry their needs into execution of some useful function. We have made a slow start Now you must speed up the process of self-control the students wish so ardently.”
