King Sings In USG Concert
Roger Miller, the “King of the Road,” who will appear on the UM campus tomorrow evening, was awarded six Grammy Awards last week by the National academy of Recording Arts and Sciences.
For the second year in a row, the 30-year-old songwriter-singer made a clean sweep of the Country and Western portion of the Awards.
Drop Courses By April 1
Friday, April 1, will be the last day on which a student may drop a course at UM without the risk of having the course counted as credits attempted in his academic record, according to Associate Registrar John Goonen.
Grades of WP or WE will be awarded for all courses dropped after next Friday. Grades of WE will count as credits attempted but not as credits earned and will be figured in the student's semester and cumulative averages.
Students desiring to drop a course should report to the office of their academic deans.
G. W. Smith, Registrar, issued yesterday, this notice to ail draft-eligible men students:
Information concerning the Selective Service College Qualification Test will be available at the office of the registrar on and after Monday, April 4, 1966.
Dr. Stanford To Review Tenure Case
In statements to the Miami Herald Wednesday, UM president Dr. Henry King Stanford defended the right of students to petition administrative officials on matters concerning faculty tenure.
“Any serious expression of student interest in an academic matter such as tenure,” he stated, “will receive from me the serious attention it deserves.”
Dr. Stanford’s remarks were prompted by the recent decision by the University not to grant tenure to Dr. Barry Hersker, an assistant professor in the Marketing Department, and the petition sponsored by UNITED asking that Dr. Hersker be retained. He stated that he had received a copy of the petition containing 800 to 900 signatures.
Dr. Stanford also said that he is reviewing the question with other University officials and added that “The students are entitled to a definite reply from me, and I do intend to give them one, probably in the next few days.” Dr. Hersker has recently been appointed Miami advisor of the fashion industry by Mayor Robert King High, who railed Dr. Hersker “one of the best-known experts in the fashion marketing field.” He has just completed a study of women's garment manufacturing and will report to the City in three weeks.
The UNITED petition cited Dr. Hersker’s “continuing academic achievements” and stated that his loss would be an “obvious error” on the part of the University. It was presented to Dr. Stanford on March 14.
Five of the awards were given for his self-written and recorded “King of the Road” single.
Miller, who will highlight the USG presentation of the Ford Caravan of Music tomorrow evening, has also been honored by the Music Operator’s Association of America with the Favorite Record and Favorite Entertainer Awards for 1965.
He recently signed with one of the national television networks for a weekly television program next season.
Sharing the spotlight with Miller tomorrow evening will be the Good Time Singers, who are currently appearing in their fourth consecutive season with the Andy Williams Show.
Tickets for the special program are available in the ticket office of the UM Student Union for $1.50 apiece.
“The regular funds provided for the USG Entertainment Series did not provide for tomorrow’s special concert,” explained USG Entertainment Chairman Si Johnson.
“There are a limited number of tickets available for the concert, and for this reason we would encourage those who want to attend to purchase their tickets as soon as possible,” concluded Johnson.

Petitions Available Today For USG, Class Offices
Petitions for all USG offices and three representatives for each class are available today in the Student Activities office.
Each petition must have 5% of the class for which a person is running and each petition for USG must have 5% of the entire undergraduate student body. Candidates are reminded that they may run as a slate for each class election or as an independent. Candidates for USG may also run as a slate or by themselves. When filing for election, candidates will also receive a election code describing in detail what they may and may not do.
USG elections will be held April 21, 22, in the lower lounge of the Student Union. Students will have to show their ID cards to vote and there will be six
machines to ease long lines.
At the last meeting of the USG council, a resolution was passed initiated by freshman president Jeff Tand calling for a cross walk overpass on S. Dixie Highway. The council, after investigation, will report its findings to the Dade County Commissioners for study. The council also passed a resolution calling for a referendum for the abolishment of cars for freshman beginning the fall of 1967.
USG hopes that students will support this referendum and vote for it. The lack of parking space facilitates the need for such a motion. The administration hopes that the students will take the initiative and vote in favor of the referendum.
A WS Will Elect Five To Central Council Offices
Associated Women Students, the women’s governing body of UM, is holding its Central Council elections next Wednesday, March 30, from 9:00 to 11:00 p.m. Separate election boxes will be placed upon each floor of the Residence Halls.
The offices to be filled consist of the five top elected offices upon Central Council. A single slate of girls has been placed upon the ballots. While a large number of petitions for offices were received, most were not qualified according to the Dean of Women’s medical and scholastic standards.
The AWS candidates for Central Council are Lonnie Molov, President; Marjorie Shapiro, Vice-president; Jane Jones, Corresponding Secretary; and Marianne Busky, Treasurer. The candidate for Recording Secretary is yet to be announced.
Although there is only a single slate, the girls eligible for office must constitutionally be duly elected by the women students.
Public Forum Cancelled By Candidates
A Public Forum between gubernatorial candidates Scott Kelly and Miami Mayor Robert King High to be held at the University Tuesday evening was cancelled suddenly last week when the Freshman class was informed that the mayor had made a previous commitment on that date.
The Forum, originally the idea of Freshman class president Jeff Tand, was arranged and coordinated by USG and Tand.
The Forum was at first planned to have Gov. Haydon Burns along with the other two gentlemen but when the Governor refused the Freshmen’s invitation it was changed to a two member forum.
A distinguished panel of area newsmen including Ralph Ren-nick of WTVJ, Dick Knight of| the HERALD, Clark Ash of the NEWS and Dr. Thomas Wood of the UM Government Department were to appear to question the men.
When High backed out, it was decided to sponsor a coffee with Sen. Kelly but due to uncontrollable circumstances this too was cancelled.
“It should be pointed out however,” said Tand, “That Sen. Kelly was the first to accept and we are grateful.”
Commenting upon elections AWS President Joanne Roberts remarked, “We have 130 girls actively participating in AWS in elective and appointive positions. I feel that the present slate of candidates is the most qualified and most dedicated and has displayed the perception necessary to run an organization of this complexity and importance.”
