Gordon Parks Explains His Success photographer, composer, director, author
Parks has also sold The Learning Tree to Hollywood and will direct the film himself. All these accomplishments, he noted, have been spurred by his conviction that “equality is best reached by personal achievements.”
Wilson Hides, director of university publications and conference co-director, was cited by Parks as “one of the great developers of my talents.” Hicks, former executive editor of Life, hired Parks as a staff
photographer in 1949.
Some of his more noteworthy assignments for Life were stories on a Harlem gang leader, segregation, and on the plight of an underprivileged Brazilian boy, Flavio. (Parks has recently written and directed a documentary film on Flavio.)
Howard K. Smith and Edward P. Morgan, ABC news commentators, will share the podium at this evening’s awards dinner, beginning at 8 pjn. at Holiday Inn.
Hoffa Evil5 - - O’Brien
“Jimmy Hoffa is essentially an svil man” James Cuff O’Brien declared Wednesday in an address dealing primarily with John F. Kennedy and labor.
O’Brien, a labor troubleshooter under Kennedy, clarified that statement by saying that he was ‘not sure Jimmy always took are of the workers as he helped iimself.”
Hoffa, much in the news lately, was criticized by O’Brien for not trying “to be a greater
man. That he saw fit to prostitute his talents is a shame.”
One of the troubles with American labor, according to O’Brien, is “that it is too American.”
“It’s a funny thing,” he noted. “Where Communists and Socialists control the unions, there is very little corruption. Communist labor leaders who were operating out of a set of convictions — an ideology — felt that they were more important than any selfish ambitions.”
UM Students Out At University Inn
A 35-year-old ex-GI finishing ip a few credits for his bache-or’s degree will not be served a (lass of beer at the University nn, whereas a 21-year-old gas dation attendant may buy any Irink the bar offers.
This is the situation under the fin’s advertised policy of refus-ng to serve any undergraduate Igardless of his age.
| Begun by the Inn’s owner and
Room, most of them under 21 years of age, and because we do not wish to embarrass anyone, we have adopted a firm policy of not serving liquor or beer to any undergraduate student. We are sure that you undergraduates, who are over 21 years of age, understand and will cooperate with us by not requesting service of liquor or beer.”
USG President Lee Clifford
In reply to a question as to the effect of automation on labor in general, O’Brien said the introduction of machinery generally weakens unions. “We are currently losing about 300,000 jobs a year in manufacturing,” he noted.
It is somewhat of a paradox. “We are put in a position where we have to resolve a problem created out of our successes,” he pointed out.
President Lee Clifford and the other members of the 1964 Undergraduate Student Government Council took their oaths of office Monday afternoon.
“I challenge you who are assuming offices today to follow the example of

Jack Afflebach of Sigma Chi assumed the presidency of the University of Miami Inter-Fraternity Council last night at the annual IFC Banquet.
Afflebach succeeds Charles Bobbitt II of Sigma Phi Epsilon, who served as acting president of IFC following the recent resignation of Bill McLaren. ♦
Afflebach, who was sworn in last night by UM president Henry King Stanford, assumes his new post during the high point in Greek spirit at UM. “I am extremely pleased with the tremendous spirit which the fraternity men have shown during Greek

He plans to work for the continued improvement of the fraternity system at the University of Miami, through a strengthened rush and pledging program as well as an intensified program designed to introduce incoming freshmen to the fraternity system at the University of Miami.

UM Law Library Going Up In World
The University of Miami Law Library is about to get a third floor as a result of a substantial gift from Miami Beach attorney and financier Baron de Hirsch Meyer.
Announcement of the gift was made by UM President Henry King Stanford who called it a “sign of forward progress as the University moves into its^~
Golden Anniversary Development Program.”
The four units now comprising the law school are named the Baron de Hirsch Meyer Buildings in honor of Meyer, a University trustee whose original gift in 1955 enabled the university to start construction of the law school complex.
“The University of Miami now has one of the finest law libraries in the United States,” said M.
Minette Massey, acting dean of the law school. “This new gift will enable us to provide necessary space for our ever-growing collection on Latin American and International Law. It will alleviate the growing lack of study space, house a faculty library and generally allow us to continue our expansion of an already-out-standing collection.”
Said Dr. Stanford: “Gifts such as those of Baron de Hirsch Meyer will help the university to make even greater strides in its development program. Such support from our friends is critically needed so the university may take its place in the top rank of universities in this country.”
The present two-story library unit, completely air-conditioned, houses over 108,000 volumes, plus almost 2,000 volumes on micro-cards.
Architect for the addition will be Robert M. Little, designer of the present buildings. Construction is scheduled to begin this summer and be completed by the spring semester, 1965.
