By MIKEY KNOTTS Horricaae Staff Reporter
Hurry! Hurry! Hurry! Step right up, folks, for the biggest, coolest, most outstanding event of the years! You don’t know what it is? Think hard. Think of shows, games, cotton candy, and lights on a ferris wheel, glittering in the night. CARNI GRAS, of course!	+
Carni Gras comes early this year, March 12 and 13, so don’t let the time slip up on you. Entries for booths are still being accepted in the Student Activities office.
Carni Gras, first held in 1955 as a project of the University of Miami Pep Club, raises money for charity. Proceeds have increased from about $2,500 the first year to about $7,000 last year.
Proceeds are divided with 60 per cent going to participating organizations to meet expenses. The remaining 40 per cent goes to the Ashe Scholarship Fund.

Friday, March 13, at 3 pm.— Meeting of all eligible candidates in the North Lounge of Eaton Hall. Sunday, March 15, at noon campaigning may begin. All posters and materials must be down by 5 p.m., March 20.
Carni Gras is most important as a student event. Chink Whitten, who has assisted in the yearly development of the event, gives all credit to the students who do everything from operating booths and games to selling tickets for the rides.
Entries this year look more exciting than ever. There will be games of skill and chance, food booths, features like the Playboy Club, Little Vegas, and a Coffee House.
Showtime is 7 pm. both nights. In the event of rain, Carni Gras will be held over until Saturday, March 14.
Barry Goldwater, is scheduled to speak at the University of Miami next Wednesday.
Sponsored by the Undergraduate Student Government Lecture Series, Dr. Kirk will talk on “The Anatomy of Collectivism,” at 4 pm. in the Great Lounge of the women’s dorm.
Said by Archduke Otto von Habsburg to have probably the best mind in America, Kirk is the holder of six university degrees, including a doctor of letters from St. Andrews University, Scotland.
Dr. Kirk has been a senior fellow of the American Council of Learned Societies, a Guggenheim Fellow, and has received re-search-grants from several foundations.
Called one of America’s leading intellectuals by Time and Newsweek, Dr. Kirk was the founder of the quarterly journal Modem Age, and is now the editor of the University Bookman.
He has spoken on nearly a hundred and fifty American campuses, and is the author of many books, including The Conservative Mind, a widely read treatise on political theory, and A Program for Conservatives, later released in paperback and re-titled Prospects for Conservatives.
UC Course RequiresNo Attendance
An experimental program to determine if required attendance has any affect on accomplishments in Natural Science 102 classes is now in progress.
One section out of the four Natural Science classes has voluntary attendance procedures. Attendance is taken but not enforced. In the other sections, the regular University College attendance rules prevail. If you have three cuts, you receive a warning letter. You are dropped from the course if you have seven or more cuts.
One of the many objectives of this program is to find out howl this experimental class will rank grade-wise in comparison with the other sections that have compulsory attendance. The final results will not be established until the end of the semester.
According to Natural Science instructors Dr. Curtis Delchamps and Dr. Shepard Faber, roughly two-thirds of the experimental class attend the daily non-com-pulsory lectures.
An old student union, a signed contract, and Dr. Henry King Stanford will be the stars of today’s groundbreaking ceremonies for the new student union at 4 p.m.
The $2,326,000 contract was officially signed earlier in the week by Eugene E. Cohen, University of Miami treasurer.
The signing climaxed an involved series of legal delays which began early last semester and were solved at the Metro Commission meeting with the final approval of the ground plat for the union.
“We have proceed orders to begin construction on Monday morning,” said Tim Dakin, project manager of the Miami branch of the Gust K. Newberg Construction Company. This firm is the same one that built the old student union.
The building schedule calls for completion within 300 calendar days, which should coincide with Homecoming Week.
The construction company has posted a 100 per cent performance bond guaranteeing the finished job in the time specified, explained William F. McLaughlin, UM assistant to the treasurer.
A $200 a day penalty payable to UM will be imposed on the construction company for each working day used past the limit. Permissible extensions include such factors as hurricanes or strikes.
The Newberg Company, which has its main office in Chicago, is known for the construction of the new Miami Herald Building and the original Orange Bowl.
Architect for the multi-million dollar union is Robert M. Little of Miami. He has designed other buildings on campus including the 730 dorm.
An additional contract was signed with Edward Don Company for the built-in kitchen equipment.
The groundbreaking ceremonies, to be held in front of the old union, feature President Stanford, James Blosser, former USG president, and present head of USG, Mark Clasby.
In the interests of student safety, the footbridge over the creek between Eaton Hall and the old student union will be blocked off beginning Monday, March 2, as will be the entire construction area.

AS A PUBLIC SERVICE for our skeptical readers, we present photographic evidence that the last hurdle before starting
construction on the new union has been cleared. All that remains now is for the old to come down and the new to go up.
