andidates Vie For Top USG Post
By DICK BONEHILL
Among the proposals for which I shall work in the upcoming | are:
1) Establishment of an advisory board representative of
Hinistration, students from i faculty, which will aid the iicy for students.
) Location of a central meet-place for USG meetings so t all interested students may and; allowance on the meeting •nda of a time so that any stu-it may express his ideas to the incil; and initiation of a refer-lum system in order to give dents a broader voice in their /eminent.
) A'complete re-evaluation of men’s restrictions and the mtual liberalization of existent .ulations.
;) An overall program calling less stringent rules concern-» social events: for example, awing liquor at a properly iperoned off-campus affair.
>) Voluntary class attendance
all segments of university life, university in formulating sound

Five points stand out in my mind as the first programs I would implement as your Undergraduate Student Government President.
• Surely we need a student bookstore, run by students for the benefit of students.	*♦----------------—-----------
• We need an effective student court to handle many of the problems the personnel deans are
Lee Clifford
now handling: a court that will understand and help students.
•	We must all work to improve the image of our school, not only in the eyes of the community, but among business and professional people all over the country.
•	We must once and for all solve the parking program!
•	Most important of all we must remember that we are all students of the University of Miami whether we belong to a fraternity, sorority, live in the dormitory, or commute. Only if we work together can we accomplish the things that we want out student government to do.

Human Radar Checks Speed
Stop watch-timed speed traps, oently begun in the Men’s isidence Area, are rapidly debasing the number of hot-rod-rs in that section of campus, irector of Housing, James •imm declared Wednesday.
Staffed by members of the ?an of Men’s Office, the system s resulted in over 30 warnings mg issued and one student I ited for disciplinary action.
Students exceeding 30 mph re given a warning, and those oing over 40 could have their ars impounded for one month.
“We set up four posts, using alkie - talkies for communica->n,” Grimm said. “The first ;rson would warn the second at a potential speeder was com-g, the car would be timed be-/een posts two and three and, exceeding 30, stopped at the amber four post.”
Based on charts of the time reared to pass through the traps different speeds, an accurate avel time for each car could be ^ired.
“Only students exceeding 30 ere stopped,” Gripim pointed it. “Due to the human factor iat could cause us to be a little f in our figuring, we wanted to 12 sure that they were speeding.”
Also speed limits in the dorm irea are due to be raised to 30 niles per hour soon, so those
stopped would have been exceeding the speed limit anyway.
The main reason for this was to crack down on students some way other than replacing the speed bumps. “The bumps affect all the students, not just the speeders,” he pointed out. “This way we
can catch the offenders without bothering everyone else.”
One objection to the speed bumps is that it would mean cutting off campus bus service. “This we wouldn’t want to do,” Grimm stated.

Two Feel Honor Council’s Bite
Two University of Miami stu-snts were placed on disciplinary robation for the remainder of leir academic careers by the M Student Honor Council last 'eek.
The action came as a result of tie of the students “sitting-in” >r the other during a class. In ddition to the academic proba-on, the student who arranged ie switch received an “E” in le course, according to Honor Council president Mark Buch-inder.
“Sitting in for someone, as well s signing another’s name or answering for another person in tak-lg attendance is definitely a vio-ition of the Honor Code,” said
Buchbinder. “Such a person is guilty of impersonation and supplying false information to the university. If it is necessary for a student to miss a class, and he
wishes to have someone sit in and take notes for him, he should arrange it with the instructor.” “Students must also realize the importance of keeping all books
and notes out of reach during examinations. A person should conduct himself at all times in j such a way as to be above sus-I picion.”
STILL 'DRY’
Lift Your Stein, But No Beer
There is absolutely “no basis” to a rumor currently circulating campus that drinking regulations are about to be changed, according to Ken Kerr, counselor in the Dean of Men’s office.
“There has been no request for a revision in the present drinking status; no official presentation of a proposed revision made as far as I know.”
It was rather coincidental, springing up at this time though, according to Kerr. “His rumor began circulating about two weeks ago, at just about the same time that fraternity bids were supposed to be picked up.”
Ben David, dean of men, agreed completely with Kerr on the subject. “I have heard nothing about lowering of drinking regulations.”

With Saturday’s announcement of the School of Environmental and Planetary Sciences, the University of Miami launched a “unique scientific venture” that will attempt to answer some of the most basic questions that confront scientists today.
Dr. S. Fred Singer, space physicist and currently director of the Weather Bureau’s National Weather Satellite Center, has been named dean of this, the world’s first such school.
In announcing the new school, President Henry King Stanford said:
“This unique arm of the university will be dedicated to space-age research and to graduate education of the scientists who will participate in the inevitable exploration of our planet and its neighbors.
“We are happy that a scientist of Dr. Singer’s distinction has agreed to become the school’s first dean.”
The school will be comprised of four research and graduate institutes, each carrying programs leading to master’s and doctoral degrees. They are:
•	Hie Institute of Planetary Bioscience under the direction of Dr. Sidney W. Fox, currently chairman of Florida State University’s Institute of Space Biosciences. This institute will study such problems as the origin and early evolution of life apd the biology of exotic environments, such as those on Jupiter, Mars, and Venus.
•	Hie Institute of Marine Science, already established and under the direction of Dr. F. G. Walton Smith. Researchers at the institute will continue studies of the sea ranging from microscopic organisms to submarine warfare systems.
•	The Institute of Atmospheric Science will conduct research in such areas as climatic changes, atmospheric pollution, and the earth’s water cycle. A director
will be named by September.
• The Institute of Space Physics will concentrate its efforts on cosmic rays, radiation belts, meteors, the moon and planets, and the solar corona — the sun’s “halo.” Its director also will be named before September.
The idea for a new school was conceived by Dr. Werner A. Baum, UM’s vice president for academic affairs and dean of the faculties, who left FSU last fall to assume his duties here. It is largely because of his efforts that the “bold dream” is becoming a reality.
The school will play a vital role in the economic and educational future of South Florida and its “space boom,” predicted Dr. Singer.
“Personally,” he added, “I find the opportunity to set a pattern of research and education in the environmental sciences to be one of the most challenging assignments that has ever been presented to me . . . for we have here a school which is inter-disciplinary in the widest sense of the word.
“The basic disciplines of physics, chemistry, and biology are combined here to attack some of the most fundamental problems of the world — the origin of the oceans and atmosphere, the origin and history of the earth, and even of life itself.”
Money for the school — the first to be established at UM since the School of Medicine was added in 1952 — will come from an unrestricted fund set up in 1962 by newspaper publishers James M. Cox of The Miami News and James L. Knight of The Miami Herald.
