iHKS	Ends Support
Of UM Symphony
I.Awaits Board Of Review’s Vote
University of Miami President [enry King Stanford announced aturday that the university will athdraw its support of the UM ymphony Orchestra at the dose f the 1964-1965 season.
Dr. Stanford said he has met ith groups interested in the /raphony in the Greater Miami rer and that a great deal of invest has been expressed by lese groups in forming a new rganization to support the sym-hony orchestra.
“I am optimistic,” Dr. Stanford Dmmented, “that the Symphony Hub and other groups in the immunity, such as the Opera iuild, will be able to coalesce in ssuming responsibility for the rst rate professional orchestra lis community deserves and loult now be ready to support.” The decision to withdraw from the symphony operation was reached after careful consideration of the university’s obligation both to its students and the community, Dr. Stanford explained.
Citing educational and financial onsiderations as the bases for le decision, Dr. Stanford commented:
“Any university symphony hould serve primarily as a train-lg orchestra. While the Univer-ity of Miami has a responsibility ) stimulate intellectual and cul-oral development of the Miami rea, this responsibility must be econdary to that toward its own hidents. Normally these respon-ibilities do not conflict. In the ase of the University of Miami
UM Trustee Redfeam Dies At 79
Daniel H. Redfeam, 79, Uni-ersity of Miami trustee for 21 ears and the university’s legal ounsel, died Sunday, Dec. 22, at Joctor’s Hospital.
A native of Barwick, Georgia, e was author of two books deal-ig with the administration of /ills. A member of the Dade bounty Bar Association, he prac-iced law in Miami since 1925.
“The full measure of this man’s courage was never so dearly visible as during the last months of his tragic illness. Grateful for the fullness of his life, he remained alert and cheerful to the last,” UM president Dr. Henry King Stanford said of Mr. Redfeam.
“To his university trusteeship f more than 20 years, Daniel
Daniel H. Redfeam r ... rare dedication
tedfeam brought rare dedica-ion. Ever a foe of sham and pre-ense, he proved always honor-I ible, steadfast and fair. The uni-I rersity was privileged to have lim as a counselor as I was honored by his friendship.”
Symphony they do, and the conflict must be resolved in favor of the education of students.”
An analysis of direct income and expenditures indicates that for the past ten-year period, the university subsidized the Symphony Orchestra for better than $478,000. With scholarships, the subsidy for the period would be over $600,000.
“Much as the university desires to provide cultural leadership for the community, we are no longer able to support the financial burdens represented by a semi-professional symphony orchestra,” continued Stanford.
Revision To Be Appealed
By DAVID GREENE Hurricane Staff Reporter
Two proposed changes in the structure of Undergraduate Student Government were sent Mon. day to the Board of Review for approval after passage by the USG Council.
The faculty-student committee will decide on an amendment to strengthen the office of USG president by electing president and vice-president together on a slate.
A second amendment before the committee provides for separation of the president and vice-president from the legislative council with a council - elected
chairman presiding over that body.
The combination ticket of president and vice - president will also be used for school government elections, according to the first amendment This move would replace the old system of putting the runner-up of the presidential race into the vice-presidential slot, a plan which required campaign rivals to cooperate in harmony—often with little success, according to USG president Mark Clasby.
Both amendments are favored by Clasby who expressed the hope that the members of a separate council would be stimulated to initiate more programs
and be more active in the government.
At Monday’s council meeting a resolution by council representative Richard Bonehill to submit the amendments to a referendum at the next student election was defeated by a vote of the council.
Bonehill, who opposes the amendment for the separation of the executive and legislative branches of the government, said
Look Who’s Laughing!
Some people find the hurricane curiously refreshing. Two of our old fans, UM President Henry King Stanford and Ath-lectic Director Andy Gustafson are intro-
ducing newcomer Charlie Tate, head football coach, to the pleasures of the press.
Since his arrival on campus, Tate has received quite a few introductions and has made a number of his own to the coaching staff. If you care to meet Charlie yourself, see the story on Page 12.
$7 Million Aided In 1963 Research
New High Projects
At the end of 1963 University of Miami researchers were working on 345 projects backed by $7 million in funds. The work ranges from the arts to medicine, engineering, and marine technology, according to Dr. Eugene Man, coordinator of research for the university.
This figure represents an increase in funds of 10 per cent over 1962 and Dr. Man predicts the university should show an even greater increase in research activities in 1964. This is due to an increase in funds coming to UM from federal and private sources.
Measured by the amount of invested money the university now ranks among the top 50 research colleges and universities in the United States.
The range of the research projects, which employ 175 persons classified as principal researchers and possibly twice that number of assistants, extends from the arts to the sciences.
A breakdown of the funds received shows this:
—	Medicine — $.2 million,
—	Marine research — $2.1 million,
—	Arts and sciences — $380,-
000,
—	Engineering — $135,000,
—	Others — $450,000.
The University of Miami is committed to developing a greater research program and a broadening of the graduate programs, said Dr. Man.
At the close of 1963, the university ranked about 45 in the nation in research dollar volume, and continues to grow each year.
In addition to science, the UM Graduate School recently received another $2,000 scholarship grant from the Woodrow Wilson National Fellowship Foundation.
UM was awarded the funds because it is one of 71 U.S. and Canadian institutions where Woodrow Wilson fellows are studying.
Robert Hunter, doctoral candidate in psychology, is currently UM’s only Wilson fellow enrolled.
The grant will be used to assist other graduate students to pursue studies leading to teaching on the college level.
In analyzing the sources of UM’s research funds, Dr. Man pointed out that 87 per cent came the U.S. Government, 1.1 per cent came from the state and local governments, 8.5 per cent from private foundations
and 3 per cent from commercial sources.
Of the 2000 colleges and universities in the United States, about 200 receive some form of federal assistance.
Grant Given Research On Birth Defects
A new lead to causes of certain birth defects has been advanced by a University of Miami investigator.
Dr. Cassimer T. Grabowski, associate professor of zoology, will continue his research under a renewal grant of $18,450 from the National Foundation — March of Dimes. The award was announced by Dr. Werner Baum, vice-president for academic affairs and dean of the faculties, and Basil O’Connor, president of the National Foundation.
Dr. Grabowski has been studying the development of chick embryos in eggs with the aim of obtaining some informa-on birth defects in humans. He discovered that if the chick embryo is given either too little oxygen, too much protein, too much salt, or even totally foreign substances, it may develop “edema.”
This is a condition where the tissues swell up and blister because of the retention of too much body fluid. This swelling and blistering may produce a wide variety of birth defects because they interfere mechanically with the growth and development of the tiny and delicate organs of the young embryo.
Prevention of edema may be possible because Dr. Grabow-ski’s study indicates its processes can be reversed before the damage reaches the point where no healthy recovery is possible. The study revealed those embryos that cannot reverse the edema either die or hatch out of the egg with deformation. This means that if edema can be reversed spontaneously in some cases, then a way might be found to reverse it in human embryos.
that he plans to appeal to the Board of Review.
He charged that this amendment was an attempt by Clasby to relieve himself of part of the responsibility of his office.
He claims that the procedure accepted by the council for passage of amendments is not according to the “correct” interpretation of the USG constitution and, therefore, unconstitutional.
Two other amendments were considered in Monday’s meeting, of the council. One called for the appointment of the treasurer by, the president instead of the pres-. ent system of election to the third-ranking USG post which carries a one-third scholarship. It was defeated.
The other amendment — also defeated — would have provided for representation of academic clubs and groups in their respective school governments with all the organizations in a school sharing a representative in that school’s council.
The Board of Review is expected to meet at the beginning of next semester to consider adopting the new amendments.
UC Shows 13 Movies In Festival
A film festival, featuring some of the best foreign films available, will begin at the University of Miami Feb. 7, announced Dr. H. Franklin Williams, Acting Dean of University College.
The films will be shown at 7:15 and 9:30 p.m. on Fridays in Beaumont Lecture Hall, except for the first one, “Rocco and His Brothers,” which, due to its length, will start at 6:00 and 9:30.
Included in the program are such films as “The Bridge,” “Raisin in the Sun,” “Rasho-mon,” “The Mark,” “The Last Bridge,” (with a Mr. Magoo cartoon), and a night of comedy, with shorts starring Charlie Chaplin, W. C. Fields (twice), and Peter Sellers.
Season tickets for the entire series of 13 films are $5.00 and may be purchased in the UC Instructional Center Office, Merrick 111. Seats are limited, so tickets will be sold on a first-come-first-served basis.
Surf men Were Instant’ Folksingers
UM Trio Places In Contest
The Surfmen, a folk singing offshoot of the Singing Hurricanes, placed third at the National Collegiate Folk Singing Contest in Jacksonville.
Fourteen groups entered last week’s competition and only two bested the UM group — a trio from the University of Tennessee, and a group from Wake Forest College of North Carolina.
The Surfmen, as a group, were organized very hastily by Glenn Draper, director of the Choral Union at UM, when a folk music group was needed for a Northeast Command USO tour last year.
George Dykes, of Miami, a business school graduate student; Bill Brett, a senior from Cleveland majoring in busi-
ness; and Jack Long, a music school sophomore from Chicago decided to form the group.
They momentarily forgot one thing — none of them could play a guitar or banjo, a prime necessity for a folk singing group. They overcame this by learning to play the instruments in two weeks.
“We were very pleased with third place under the circumstances,” Dykes said. “Particularly since the other three groups from Florida were cut after the second round.”
The contest was broadcast on radio and video taped for national television before a live audience of 2000 in Jacksonville Civic Auditorium.
A mid-semester tour through Florida, Mississippi, Texas and Louisiana, will be held by the UM Concert Choir, under the direction of Glenn Draper.
Both a concert and variety program have been planned for the tour, which include appearances at high schools, churches and colleges.
Organized in 1960 when Draper came to the university, the Concert Choir has achieved considerable recognition through its varied performances in Greater Miami and South Florida.
In addition to performances before civic groups, the choir recorded a special Christmas program broadcast by the Armed Forces Radio Network in Europe.
