Debaters Ricker, Tanenbaum Win District Match; Team Qualifies For National Debate Tournament
By ANTHONY VERDESCA
01 Tl<t Nurrican. Staff
The UM debate team is now tied for the best winning streak ever achieved in the history of the District VI Tournament (Southern US).
Winning this tournament qualifies the team to partici-pate in the National Debate Tournament in Colorado Springs (Air Force Adcade-my), the week of April 22.
Owen Ricker and Robert Tanenbaum, one of the UM teams, achieved a record of 13 winning ballots to only
three loss ballots in eight rounds of debate. Twenty-six teams competed in the Athens, Ga. tournament.
"The topic of the tournament was: should the federal government establish controls over the supply and utilization of energy?" said Dr. Frazer D. White of the department of communications.
"Each team must be prepared to fight both positive and negative sides of the argument and are judged more on their debating skill,” Dr. White said.
Ricker and Tanenbaum
were debaters in high school both receiving high honors.
The debate teams discuss such topics as the use of hydrogen and methane as energy sources plus nuclear energy, problems concerning nutrition, pollution, and the international food supply, mass transit, the railroads, trucking and technological assessment.
The team has files of "valuable” research information used in all tournaments.
‘The team carries the information with them at every tournament. We have to have
the files because we don’t know what angle our opponent is going to take,” Tanenbaum said.
There are four other team members besides Ricker and Tanenbaum. They are David Acton, Charlie McClelland, Jerry Hoffman and John Moppert.
“Each member puts in about 10 to 15 hours a week,” Tanenbaum said.
Other schools UM has competed with are UCLA; USC, where, out of 60 teams, they placed ninth; Sacramento State, where they placed fourth out of 30 teams; Seton
Hall; Northwestern University and Harvard
The team is under the management of Bunny Gillen, who is serving at UM on an interim appointment.
Every team Gillen has coached has qualified for Nationals.
Some schools UM has defeated in the past tournament are the University of Florida, Florida State University, Florida Technological University, University of Georgia, University of Kentucky, Middle, Tennessee State University and Sam-ford University.

By LYNNE SCHEWE
Of T*w Horncana Staff
No, it’s not another seven days war or an invasion from another planet. It’s just a competition between the UM Greeks called “Greek Week 74.”
Fraternities and sororities will be competing in separate divisions for points. The sorority and fraternity with the highest total cumulative points will each be awarded a trophy at the climax of the week, the Grecian Ball.
The battle officially begins Saturday. April 6, with a toga party at Tahiti Beach Ths.asrty ia not for spirit points; it’a just to help the Greeks get "psyched” info a good spirited Greek mood.
The party begins at 8 p.m.
and white togas will be the dress of the evening.
A hand will be playing for entertainment, and Jeff Jarow, Greek Week over-all chairman, said, “Some types of games in the sand will be organized, also."
Sunday is the get-tough Olympic Day, when the actual competition for points begins. On the intramural fields, from 9 a.m. to 11 a m. the Greeks will sponsor sporting events for approximately 100 children from Parkway and Kendall Children’s Homes.
The entire University community is invited to attend and participate in this part of
Olympic Day.
From 12:30 p.m. to 5:30 p.m. the Greeks will vie for the Olympic Day trophy in such events as a chariot race, 100 yard dash, discus throw, shot put, egg toss, relay race and a marathon race. Former Greek Week participants say the egg toss U "a real craok-up.”
The Rock will be the scene of the weigh-in, to be held Monday, Tuesay. and Wednesday, 9 a.m. to 2 p.m. Each Greek member will be weighed and their weight will be matched in dollars and cents by their organiza--tion.

Kohler Discusses Life In The Soviet Union
By MARCEE TAXMAN
Of TH# Hurrlcan« Staff
Dr. Foy D. Kohler was U.S. Ambassador to Russia from 1962-1966, one of the most critical periods in U.S.-Soviet relations.
Today he is a professor at UM’s Center for Advanced International Studies.
"As ambassador I was responsible for maintaining relationships with the leader-
Yearbook, Hurricane Elections
Elections for editor and associate editor of the Hurricane and the Ibis yearbook, respectively, will be held April 19. Publications business manager will also be elected.
All candidates for positions must be screened by publications advisor George Southworth, along with turning in applications. These applications are available in the publications business office, S-221 of the Union.
All candidates for Ibis yearbook positions will be asked to sign a waiver, Southworth said, acknowledging that the yearbook may not be funded. The positions would then be void.
ship and the people of the Soviet Union. I reported and evaluated what was happening in Russia,” Dr. Kohler said.
From 1947-1949 Dr. Kohler served at the American Embassy in Moscow as Counselor of Embassy, with personal rank as Minister.
"Living in Russia for seven years was quite an experience. It is a tremendous country. The people are very different than Americans. There are similarities, though, such as America and Russia both being vast continents, explored and then developed greatly,” Dr. Kohler said.
He said after World War II Russia was in bad shape. It lost many cities, villages and people. There was a food shortage and much industry was lost. The standard of living was low.
While Dr. Kohler was living in Russia, he was acquainted with many important personalities.
“I was in contact with Nikita Khrushchev when I was Assistant Secretary of State for European Affairs, from 1958-1962," Dr. Kohler said.
"I came to know him and his family well during his six years of rule — from July 1959 when I accompanied then Vice President Richard Nixon to the Soviet Union
and participate in many talks between the two,” Dr. Kohler said.
He said in 1959 he organized Khrushchev’s trip around the U.S.
"In 1962 I was appointed Ambassador to the Soviet Union in August and served in Moscow until November, 1966. At this time I was in contact with Leonid Brezhnev, who had the job nominally known as president,” Dr. Kohler said.
He said he was in Russia at the time Khrushchev was ousted in 1964.
Concerning the Middle East situation, Dr. Kohler said Russia has always hoped to gain a position in the Mediterranean. This has been Its aspiration for many centu-
ries. Its major interest is to supply the Arabs with arms, with increasing influence. Their only limit is they don’t want to have direct nuclear conflict.
Dr. Kohler continued about another present day situation — that of Alexander Solzhenitsyn.
Solzhenitsyn, a world famous Russian author, was exiled by the Soviet government after writing a book which was unsympathetic to the country’s socialist views.
Dr. Kohler said Russia is replete with exiles. The reason that Solzhenitsyn was not liquidated was because of his world-wide fame.
“Tight literary controls are found in the Soviet Union.
No one can publish without official permission. Dr. Zhivago was never published in Russia. The Soviet Union government controls all. Anything will be suppressed if it isn’t liked. Not mUch is liked If it isn’t Communist propaganda,” Dr. Kohler said.
"Russia is living under a basically oppressive government. The Soviet Union is hostile to any non-Commu-nist slate. They don’t really talk about friendships and are seeking to ease relation-ships with the Western World,” Dr. Kohler said.
Dr. Kohler said the ordinary Russian has friendly feelings although they do live by the slogan to overtake and surpass the United States.
freshman from Albuquerque, New Mexico will receive up to $40 in food and drinks at the Rathskeller for two.
Melanie and her roomate Sue Coyle of Orlando, Florida entered seven slogans in the Ketchy Slogan Contest.
When asked about her interest In the contest Melanie said, "We enjoy making up slogans for all sorts of things and when we heard about the $40 w°rth of food at the Rathskeller we didn't waste any time."
Melanie and Sue say they are aware of the energy crisia and help by limiting the use of their air conditioner and only using the lights they actually need.
The winning slogan will be used on stickers and posters explaining ways to conserve energy and how they help.
These are some suggestions for energy conservation:
• Turn off the lights in your room whether you leave for 15 minutes or for all day. You can save about 240 watts for every hour they are off.
• If you live in an air-conditioned room, keep your thermostat at 75 degrees or
turn the unit off unless you really need it. If you don’t have a thermostat set your blower switch at low or keep the unit off. Air-conditioning
is the biggest user of electrical power.
•	If you must use the air-conditioner, be sure your windows and doors are closed.
•	When using bathroom facilities be sure to turn off the water and use only what you need. Power is used to heat as well as circulate water through the building.
•	Limit your use of the elevator. Every time the elevator moves one floor, it uses 313 watts of power.
•	Save gas and walk to class. You can save money as well as energy.
•	Recycle your glass, paper and aluminum at the recycling center every first and third Saturday.
Ed Frankel, coordinator for Environment said the objective behind the contest was the conservation of energy at UM, primarily in the residence halls.
Frankel said. “Many think the energy crisis is over but it’s really just getting started.”
If anyone is starting a project for energy conservation or would like to join the Environment Club call 666-1000 or drop by the Environment office in room 244 of the Student Union.
Mini grants are available up to $100 for any worthwhile project and all that is required is a breakdown of what the project involves.
Streakers No W orry To Security Chief

Just moments after a streaker thrilled a crowd on the intramural field. Fred Doemer, UM’s director of security, discussed enforcing the law against those who insist on land-locked skinny dipping.
"We are going to be guided by complaints against streakers as far as taking action," Doemer, head of security at UM for five years, said.
If someone is offended by a streaker and the "victim” complains to authonties an arrest for indecent exposure could result, Doerner said.
"Not that we condone streaking.” Doemer said, “but we feel it is in the nature of a prank.”
Security detained several streakers in the Union F
breezeway recently. Their names were noted for use of the student personnel office.
Problems far more serious than streaking are confronted by Doemer and his 14-man uniformed police force. Deputized by Coral Gables police, campus security receives police training before going on the beat. And campus police have been effective since taking over major police duty from Coral Gables in 1970.
A few years ago. Doemer was besieged with complaints by female students of prowlers and voyeurs lurking about their dorms. Several arrests followed, almost exclusively, Doemer noted, of persons not associated with UM.
