Controversy Centers On Stanford’s Approval
By ELAYNE GILBERT Hurricane News Editor
Inter-Fraternity Council junked deferred rush by a 13 to 4 decision at its meeting Wednesday.
But a storm brewed over President Henry K. Stanford’s need to review and approve the measure before it can be put into action by the Greeks.

MIKE KLEIN (RIGHT) SNAPS FINGERS IN APPROVAL AS HIS MOTION PASSES IFC
Since the university adopted deferred rush as official policy three semesters ago, administrators now contend that Dr. Stanford must give his consent before the measure is scrapped.
“When IFC wants to change its policy, the change must be cleared first if it is a matter of university policy,” said Ken Kerr, counselor of men.
“The IFC is the only student group that can regulate the fraternity system. But it is not the only body to control Greek policy,” Kerr said.
IFC leaders maintain that their constitution gives them the last word on rushing procedure. A statement in the

Parking fines were sliced to $3 when President Henry K. Stanford okayed the Undergraduate Student Government proposal to reduce penalties.
First two offenses will be $3 to be doubled if not paid within too weeks. Three-time losers will be sent to the appropriate dean.

$9 Million
Interama Budget Okayed
Construction of Interama— Miami’s salute to freedom—got the green light with approval of a $9 million budget to put the center in business.
This was the first two-year budget passed by the Inter-American Center Authority, according to Dr. Irving Muskat, UM vice president for research

Wording on the warning notices to be placed on automobiles not bearing university stickers has been changed to explain the fines.
The move to cut the fines was under discussion since fall, but action was halted until a trial period could be set up.
“Speed bumps were ripped up and students were adult enough not to exceed the speed limit set by law,” said Noble Hendrix, dean of students.
About 1,000 tickets were handed out to violators in October. After the speed bumps were removed, the number of violations dropped to 310.
“We decided to lower fines because the trial period proved that students would comply with the traffic regulations,” said Hendrix.
The traffic committee consisted of Hendrix; Matthew Borek, head of the physical piant; stuart Bloch USG president and Mine Klein, USG vice president.

Pacifists Move Gets Hard Time
The first political literature distributed under the Undergraduate Student Government pamphlet distribution laws were handed out Wednesday by student representatives of the Committee for Non-Violent Action.
—The law says that all literature distributed on the campus must have the stamp of permission by the student activities office.
“The Draft Law and Your Choices” is printed by a Quaker pacifist organization and outlines four responses to the selective service: combatant, non - combatant, conscientious objector and non-cooperation.
A second sheet called for negotiation with Cuba for a peaceful solution of the crisis. “Is This What We Really Want?” expresses the belief that all countries “must learn to resolve their conflicts without resort to w_ar.”_
A table set up for distribution of pamphlets in the Student Union breezeway attracted a crowd. Many Latin American students protested against the pamphlets and burned several, according to Mike Greenwald, president of the Student American Civil Liberties Union.
The material was provided by three members of the New England Committee for Non-Violent Action. Two of them were arrested earlier in the week for vagrancy after distributing the pamphlets in front of Coral Gables Senior High School.
and chairman of the project.
“We will now accept bids for building of Interama’s proposed centerpiece, a 1,000-foot Freedom Tower,” announced Dr. Muskat.
A state agency since 1953, Interama must submit the budget to Tallahassee for approval. “Details were avoided because of the difficulties of precise estimates,” said Muskat.
The budget provides for building costs, salaries, promotional work, operating expenses and a special capital-improvement contingency fund.
Nineteen Latin American countries are expected to contribute exhibits that show progress through democracy.
The Interama exhibit will be
10 times bigger than the Seattle World’s Fair.
Stone, steel and glass buildings show four areas of life in the Americas—industry, culture, festival and international affairs.
Visitors to the festival area will ride sky cars, paddle river boats and watch ^galloping gauchos.
An amphitheater with a floating stage, a concert hall and art museaums are planned for the cultural section.
Exotic and original foods from Latin America, native costumes, products, technical displays and wares will be shown in the industrial section of Interama. United States industrial complexes will also exhibit products such as steel works, and iron products.
constitution says that “IFC shall be the sole body having jurisdiction over University of Miami social fraternities and fraternity functions . . .”
“We are fighting two issues. We feel IFC doesn’t need approval to change rules on rush procedure and we also want to dump deferred rush,” said Tom Ciresa, IFC president.
Deferred rush was dropped after a long drawn-out debate on Sigma Nu President Mike Klein’s motion that the system be abolished and that all men “be eligible for rushing and pledging regardless of academic average or credits earned.”
Under the present set-up a man cannot pledge a fraternity unless he has a 1.0 overall average and is at least a second semester freshman.
During the discussion on the system, Klein claimed that “deferred rush, in effect for 18 months, has had a destructive effect upon the fraternities. Manpower has dropped at least 35 j)er cent.”
Other Greek leaders estimated that figures on dwindling chapter memberships range from 30 per cent to 50 per cent.
Another problem—brought into sharp focus during the meeting — is the money trouble of some Greek groups.
“The financial cost to fraternities has been in excess of $35,000 as a result of this rush program,” exclaimed Klein.
On the plus side, deferred rush has emphasized the importance of scholarship in the fraternity. It has also strengthened academic standards in each of the groups.
Passionate Kisses Score ‘Hot
In a field where most girls are satisfied with endless practice, Tatiana Prilutchi wanted a way to measure progress.
So she built a kissometer.
An 18-year-old junior electrical engineering major, Tatiana rigged up an electronic device that creates sparks when a couple kisses.
If the kiss is just a friendly peck, the registering wires stay cool and the words “dead fish” pop out of the machine.
For the passionate, clinging kinds, the word is “wow-wowie.” The current runs through the wires, bells ring and lights flash on and off for about five minutes.
“It’s not a gimmick, it works on solid electrical principles,” said Tatiana. She and two classmates — John Woods and Don Barachak — have been priming the machine for an Engineering School exhibit next weekend.
The kissometer will he displayed at the exhibition. Couples will enter a booth complete

with love seat, curtain — and wires. Then they kiss.
The kissometer will decide the rest.
Tatiana, from Cuba, speaks five languages fluently. They
are English, French, Spanish, Russian and Latin. “I’ve known them all for years,” she said.
She entered the university at 16 and has maintained a B average for her five semesters.
