For those of you who were not here last year, the Ashe-31 are the 31 students who were arrested in last year's tuition increase protest.
About 800 students staged a protest. They "took over" the Ashe Administration in an attempt to stop the $200 tuition increase.
l ed by last year's Undergraduate Student Body Government (US) President Susan Havey, 2000 students sat in the Ashe Bldg, demanding to see President Stanford.
Police came in and warned the protestors that the building would close at 5:30, the regularly scheduled time of closing, and that anybody who remained in the huilding after that time would be subject to arrest. About 200 people remained.
The air conditioners were shut off, the doors were locked, and no one was permitted to enter the building There were campus police and press both inside and outside the building.
At 8 p.m.. when the Coral Gables police arrived, there were still approximately 100 people remaining in the building Out of the 100 students in the building, only 31 were arrested.
Others were told that they were being arrested, but once outside the Ashe the doors were locked and the "arresting officers" walked away.
Since this all happened at the end of the year, no
one found out exactly what had become of thr Ashe -31 There had been rumors of expulsion and criminal charges placed against them for trespassing.
This is what really happened to the Ashe-31. . .
Once arrested, bail was set at $500 for each girl involved, and $100 for the guys because of a difference in the tresspassing laws between the sexes.
All of them had to remain in Florida for one week after school let out for a University hearing
The state's attorney dropped all charges and the students can legally say that they were never arrested
Within the University, however, they were each put on strict probation, which will remain on their records for one or two semesters. It will be erased from their records after they do voluntary work for the school, such as working in a day care center on campus. This will serve as a type of rehabilitation punishment, and it must be something that will be somewhat of a burden on them.
They were found guilty of violating the University’s policy on Mass Assembly and Demonstration Section B23 in Student's Rights and Responsibility handbook). They violated the restriction placed on campus demonstrations which forbids students to remain in buildings after closing hours.
Havey looks upon the protest as an “exercise of democratic rights," and she was both "proud and grate-

Students To Witness Psychometry
By JAM MARCI s

The Arthur Ford Academy, on experiential parapsychology school will present a psychic demonstration on Thursday September IS at 8 p m. for the private v iewing of 50 students.
Unlike the other parapsychology departments In t niverslties and colleges throughout the U.S., the Academy's main interest is in "doing" rather than pursuing the intellectual process of passing on information.
This demonstration will be conducted by Graduates of the Academy, who will participate with the audience in:
• Psychometry: the art of holding a personal object and seeing the owner's past, present and future.
•	Fnergy Transfers: sending energy from a distance to a predetermined part of the body that only the audience and sender know.
•	Aura Reading: reading the energy patterns that emmanate from one's body.
•	PK: directing mental energv to a person or an object in such a fashion that the person or object moves or changes.
The demonstrations will be performed by-graduate mediums of the Academy who are aware that there is more to man than his physical nature, and there Is much to be learned about the psychic and spiritual aspects of man in relationship to the cosmos.
The Academy is working with the Marine Biology I>epartment where Dr. Dan O'Dell is working on an experiment with dolphins. CI>II
and his research team will be observing the behavior of the dolphins to determine the validity of the Academy’s premise that man can communicate with, and receive communication from the soul of the dolphin.
This is a different concept of mental telepathy; for the link between man and the universe is on the soul level and not the mental level.
Recently, the Academy successfully communicated with an eight-week-old child, producing movement on left and right hands merging on mental command, as well as thought communication and exchange.
The first step in the evolution of man is to see . . the second is to experience.
Students interested in participating in thr first step should call Haves, 865-85(4, for reservations. The class is limited to 50 students.
