mer post of associate dean of that division.

Debaters Get Sympathy; Investigation Still Sought
“Although we sympathize with your case, we have an established policy not to interfere with the decisions of regional committees.”
This is the answer the University of Miami debate team received from West Point in their attempt, with the assistance of Miami Beach Mayor Melvin Richard, to enter the National Championship Tournament at the military academy.
The UM team of Barry Richard and Neal Sonnett had been refused entrance to the Southern Regional Tournament because of

a technicality, according to Mayor Richard.
Richard awaited the decision of Barry and Neal as to the filing of a suit against the national tourney.
The boys, who have been debating since their freshman year at the university and have previously competed in the national contest, chose not to file a suit which could only accomplish a negative purpose. A suit would either enjoin the Southern Regional teams from attending the national or enjoin West Point from calling the competition the National Championship Tournament.
“I felt this would be a purely vindictive action either way and I didn’t want to do to other teams what had been done to us,” said Barry.
He made it clear, however, that a Federal investigation into the structure and rules of selection of teams for competition in the regional tournament would be sought.
“Both Senators Pepper and Holland have advised me they are looking into the feasibility of an investigation that would establish rules for the avoidance of similar problems,” commented Barry.
The main problem, he said, is that the national tournament has no team selection rules. “They simply ask the regional committee to send the top four teams to the national contest, and the regional committee can pick the teams using any method they want.”
Barry hopes that the noise they made in effort to enter the regional and national will do something to improve the debate program in all schools.
As a result of the whole affair, he expressed disappointment in the coaches and administrators he and Neal knew, respected, and could rely on if the occasion arose.
Barry, who attends UM on a debating scholarship, said, “I now consider myself officially retired from four years of intercollegiate debating.”

Dr. Stanford and Mr. Deutschman Accept Award from Mr. Gamble ... for outstanding design of the Richter Library
Income Tax Director Optimistic About Cut
The University of Miami’s Otto G. Richter Library has been named one of 16 college, public and school libraries in the United States to receive architectural awards in the second Library Buildings Award Program.
The UM library received one of five Awards of Merit conferred in the college/university category by the American Institute of Architects, American Library Association and the National Book Committee.
President Henry King Stanford accepted the award 'from Clinton Gamble, Ft Lauderdale architect and director of the AIA, in ceremonies Tuesday in the President’s office.
Mr. Gamble is currently a visiting professor at the University of Miami. He is conducting a lecture series for upperclassmen in the field of architecture. Said Mr. Gamble: “Architecture in South Florida is becoming that of a sophisticated urban arèa. We have come of age, architecturally.”
Attending the ceremonies were Dr. Archie McNeal, director of
libraries; Mr. Deutschman, representing Watson, Deutschman & Kruse, architects for the library; and Bill Baggs, editor of the The Miami News who is chairman of the Florida Citizens Committee for National Library Week, April 12-18.
The panel which made the award commented: “As intended, this large library budding, day or night, becomes the focal point of the campus. Centrally located, it successfully houses and services undergraduate and research library materials and functions. Ample provision has been made for future expansion.”
Built in 1961-62, at a cost of over $3.5 million, the library currently houses about 650,000 volumes. This is approximately two-thirds its full capacity.

Federal income tax regulations can be likened to an iceberg, Mortimer Caplin, Director of the Internal Revenue Department, declared Wednesday in an address sponsored by the Bar and Gavel Law Fraternity.^ ‘
“It’s a plus and minus situation,” he explained. “Everybody sees the minus parts, the negative ones that stick above the water. But the beneficial aspects are concealed beneath the surface.”
Caplin was optimistic about the new tax cut bill recently passed by Congress.
“The economic philosophy behind this consists of two factors,” he stated. “These two factors are rates and how much money will be raised. This year we will collect about $106 billion in tax revenue. However, even with the rate reduction just passed, the projected collections for next year will run about $110 billion.”
He pointed out that most of the savings due to the tax cut will be spent—much for business expansion, thus giving a boost to the economy. “We estimate that about 93% of the tax cut will be spent. Some will be saved, but not much.”
Greeks Ready For Big Week
Approximately 2,000 Greeks, from 30 sororities and fraternities will participate in Greek Week, which will begin with the lighting of the Olympic Torch on Monday evening, April 20, in the Eaton Pep Arena.
Included in the six day program will be a blood drive; faculty - administration - Greek dinners at fraternity houses; the annual Greek god and goddess contest; tapping for Omega, fraternity honorary; and the Inter-fraternity Ball.
Students Suspended For Quiz Doctoring
The student administered Honor Council of the University of Miami recently suspended three University College students for doctoring of already graded tests.
“The students, each in a different class, changed answers on an already graded test and claimed that their tests were incorrectly graded,” said Honor Council chairman Mark Buchbinder.
“What they didn’t know was that University College tests are now processed in such a way that answers changed after the test has been graded can be easily detected. These students committed an act of premeditated dishonesty.”
Violations of the Honor Code are brought by the students, faculty and administration to the Honor Council, which is composed of representatives of each of those three groups.
The penalties which the Honor CouneQ may Impose are: failure to receive course credit by means of a failing grade; disciplinary probation for a period of time as determined by the Council; suspension for a definite period of time; expulsion from the university.
The three students were suspended until September, 1964.
New Union — Tiles Of Fun’
Caplin described one of the principal missions of the Internal Revenue Department as doing everything possible to get compliance from the taxpayers. He pointed out as a tribute to Americans the fact that about 97% of taxes are paid voluntarily by the people.
.“This is the only country in the world that has achieved such a record,” he said.
Finally with a light smirk he noted that the department recently celebrated the 50th Anniversary of the 16th amendment (the income tax law).
“It was a very low key ceremony; no birthday cake or joyous festivities,” he sighed.
