Teach-In Talk-A-Thon Begins Tuesday, Gruening To Speak
The University of Miami’s much discussed “teach in’* on the topic of Southeast Asia w ill begin at 7:30 p.m., March 11. in the New Student Union.
The “teach in,” which has aroused a good deal of controversy both in the University and in the local community, is co-spon-sored by the participating University of Miami professors and the UM chapter of Students for Democratic Society. “SDS is a
tax-free, non political organization with national headquarters in New York,” explained Dr. James Tedeschi, in a letter to UM President Henry King Stanford which appeared in last week’s HURRICANE
Dr. Tedeschi explained that the
“teach in” of the University is “not setting a precident, since 35 universities have already experienced such an event.”
“Some ‘teach-ins* have been
propagandists in nature. I want to stress that we have attempted to invite a full spectrum of opinion. I have invited the U S. State Department to send a representative to the meeting to pri sent our current policy.”
At Hurricane press time on Wednesday, there had not been any reply confirming or denying the acceptance of the State Department.
“Some of our speakers and dis-

I The president also stated that “At the S.U.S.G.A (Southern I Universities Student Government \ Association) Convention which we recently attended, we learned I that our (USG) budget does not 1 compare equitably with those of universities of similar student population.”
"For example,” ho went on, j "both the University of Florida and Florida State University have student government budgets at least twice that of UM’s.”
"Most of the colleges repres- 1 I ented at the conference,” he ad-I ded, "also have entertainment '
I funds included in fheir budgets.” Spencer also pledged support to the SDS Teach-In to be held j Mav 11. He said that USG will j

In commenting on the administrative change-. Dr Stanford said:
"While it is understandable that Dr. Baum believes lie cannot decline such a position at the nation's largest independent university. both the faculty and administration share my regret at losing a man who is both a brilliant scientist and able administrator
“The University is singularly fortunate that a man brought to us by Dr Baum has agreed to serve as his successor. Since joining us in June, 1964, Dr. Gropp has won the respect and admiration of his associates both in the administration and the faculty."

WERNER BAUM
Dr. Baum also expressed regret at leaving the University of Miami after only two years:
"The decision to accept New York University's invitation was indeed a difficult one, since 1 have found the University of Miami a most stimulating institution. In helping the University draw such competent people as Dr. Gropp, Dr. August L. Freuid-lich in the arts. Dr. William F. Lee in music, Dr. M. Robert Allen in continuing education, Dr. S. Fred Singer and Dr. Sidney W. Fox in environmental and planetary sciences, I hope I have contributed to the progress of the Univesity.
"I feel strongly that the University of Miami is well along the highway of academic excellence; I am equally certain that Dr. Gropp is admirably qualified as my successor in this administrative area.”
A physical and analytical chemist. Wisconsin - bor n Dr. Gropp, 49, earned his liachelor of arts, master of arts and doctor of philosophy, with honors, at the University of Oregon.
He started his academic career as an instructor in chemistry at the University of Florida in 1947, was assistant dean of the College of Arts and Sciences and in charge of its graduate studies and research program when he resigned to become dean of I'M’s (iraduate School.
