Danger Lurks On Dixie
Traffic controls for two dangerous sections of Dixie Highway are urgently needed, according to Undergraduate Student Government.
Study of traffic conditions at two critical sections of the highway was conducted as part of the USG safety assessment program.
In a letter to Metropolitan Dade County Government, Stu Bloch, USG president, urged:
• A traffic light or cross-over bridge ; be placed at the access to Breedings Drug
Store opposite the men’s dormitory area. • A delayed light system be placed at the crossing of Dixie and Miller Dr. to allow students to cross protected from cars turning into the federal highway.
Both recommendations received unanimous approval of the USG Council, after considering families living in the housing area and women occupying 'the twin girls’ dorm units.
“The proposal for the two systems was passed because the Council feels a responsibility to the students and their families,” Bloch said.
Leaders Ask Support For Abolishing Fee
A special referendum has been called to determine student opinion towards the $5 parking fee.
Students go to the polls Wednesday and Thursday to express approval or disapproval of the fee and Undergraduate Student Government’s battle for its end.

Election Bill Goes To HKS
Student government officers may be picked by direct vote if President Henry King Stanford approves constitutional amendments now awaiting his signature.
The constitutional amendments provide for direct election of Undergraduate Student Government president and vice president. If Dr. Stanford gives the word, the amendments go into effect in time for spring elections.
The amendments, passed by USG Oct. 15, got the nod from the Board of Review earlier this week.
Position of treasurer will be selected by the council members.
“Treasurer’s job should be an appointed post because the duties
require an individual with special accounting skill,” said Stu Bloch, USG president.
Similar amendments were passed by USG and the Board of Review last year, but were vetoed by former President Jay F. W. Pearson.
USG plans to meet in open forum Monday to discuss the Zack-Cohan amendment limiting campaign expenses for future council elections.
The proposal, originally passed at the Oct. 15th meeting, limits candidates for USG to $35 for campaign expenses. Presidential and vice presidential hopefuls would be given a $75 budget.
“This amendment, replacing
one forbidding the formation of campus political parties, may promote slates of candidates,” Bloch said.
“It would definitely call for a I strong election board to check on all campaign expenses,” Bloch added.
Working plans for operating the proposed direct election system will also be discussed at Monday’s meeting at 3:30 p.m. in the Student Union upper lounge.

VP Action All Right
To Dr. Robert Johns, for false and erroneous statements set forth in the Hurricane Friday, Nov. 2, in a first page news story on the campus parking fee, this newspaper apologizes. The statements referred to are hereby retracted, unequivocally.
The story stated: “. . . Dr. Robert Johns (executive vice president)—acting on his own—installed the current five dollar fee.”
Since the story was published, the Hurricane has learned that this statement was wholly false and erroneous. Dr. Johns was not “acting on his own” in imposition of the fee. The fee was recommended to the Board of Trustees, which voted to impose the fee. Any and all student fees can be imposed only by the Board. At a meeting of its Executive Committee July 17, 1961, the following resolution was presented and passed by the Board:
“Resolved, That the initiation of a yearly parking fee of $5 for students of the University of Miami, beginning in the fall of 1961, be and the same is approved by this Executive Committee.”

It May Have Been All Water
Someone Lost A Coin
No student has come to the Hurricane office and said he has been cheated by one of the mechanical food servers spotted around campus.
There has been* no letter to the editor about anybody plunking two nickels into one of the machines and getting back a flush of white water. Nobody has said anything about getting nothing.
There is reason to believe, though, that one student somewhere on campus has lost his cash. He has kept it to himself.
To regain the nickels, it is necessary for him to trail to Ashe Building room 114 and fill out a note. He will state simply that he has lost a nickel or two in the stomach of a metal giant, and that he would like the coins returned.
If the Purchasing Office finds he received nothing for something, the student will see his nickels again.
The referendum was unanimously called for at the Monday emergency USG meeting.
“It will serve as a barometer for future decisions regarding the fee,” said Stu Bloch, USG president.
Voting machines will be manned by USG in the Student Union lower lounge from 8 a.m. to 9 p.m. on both days.
“The student body can best show its desire to have the fee removed by walking to a polling place rather than signing a petition,” Bloch said.
“This year 4,166 students have registered cars and we expect at least 75 per cent to vote,” Bloch remarked.
“After speaking with major organizations on campus, indications point to overwhelming support of the USG proposal,” he said.
“The voting is not confined to car owners alone,” Bloch added, “because any student may be driving a car in the future.”
Earlier this fall, Bias Herrero, law school senior, challenged USG to investigate parking fees and fines.
USG accepted the challenge and a special administration-faculty-student committee was formed to probe the complex situation.
While the committee was meeting, USG instructed Bloch and Mike Klein, students representatives, to demand an end to the parking fee.
A committee deadlock resulted. Last week Bloch and Klein presented a report to President Stanford, petitioning him to re-mpve the fee,
Stanford is now studying the report.
“The application of the student fee is under consideration,” said Stanford this week. “I am not sure that a uniform parking fee is justifiable.”
Stanford indicated he may modify the current fee for dormitory and fraternity drivers.
“I think it is alright for students to express their opinions on this matter, hut I am unlikely to change the fees this year,” he said.
Stanford said he believes the University parking fee is modest —compared to that of other institutions.
“The University needs all the income it is receiving to improve the quality of its programs,” he explained.
Council Renames Lake Osceola
Lake Osceola has been renamed by the Undergraduate Student Government Council.
The Council voted unanimously to call the body of water Student Lake.
Lake Osceola is located adjacent to the Student Union.
