^President Stanford said he had mo objections to ^outsiders’ at the concert.... I don’t even recognize the word.’
—Joan Baez
‘We WILL	concetf in March on the soccer
field,” SBG President MaJfrtj^yio# staled. “All this simply underscores the need to have co^ffts oh campus, where we can be free from censorship by the out§i/e community.”
The March concert will be administered by an ad hoc committee consisting of one representative from Financial Affairs, three from Student Affairs, two faculty members, and six representatives and a chairman from SBG. The committee will be subject to the approval of the SBG Senate.
The administration is presently being officially informed of the SBG resolution.

When asked what she thought of the difficulties with UM’s concert series, Miss Baez replied, “I think you should all leave school. If it were up to the students, we’d be having the concert on the soccer field or wherever, but the students obviously have nothing to say about it. It’s ridiculous to stay here when there’s life going on and work to be done outside.”
At their final meeting last semester, the Student Body Government Senate passed overwhelmingly a resolution stating that the first concert in March would be on the soccer field. President Henry King Stanford refused a request that the Baez concert take place there, though Miss Baez would have agreed to that location.
“We’ve been told that no matter what we do, there will be no more concerts on campus,” Krasnow said. “I suspect it has something to do with the Coral Gables City Commission. We will have the March concert on the soccer field, and if the administration doesn’t choose to participate, we’ll go ahead on our own.”
Bill Lizewski, SBG senior senator, has contacted the American Civil Liberties Union for investigative and legal consultation. Bill Hoppe, a lawyer for ACLU is presently acting upon the request.
“My first goal in this situation was to get Miss Baez back in the Marine Stadium. Unfortunately there was a time problem.
“At least we can hope that through the ACLU; this form of indirect political censorship will never be leveled at UM students again,” Lizewski said.

Police Start Towing Off
Cars Left in Fire Lanes
By JUDI SULLIVAN
Hurricane Reporter
UM police and the Coral Gables Police Department have begun towing parked cars from the fire circle by the Student Union and other fire lanes on campus.
Sergeant Lou Mertz, Coral Gables Police public relations officer, said the recent towings resulted from cars parked in the fire lanes, hampering fire operations at the 960 dormitory fire on November 22. Prior to the fire the police department had been receiving complaints about the illegally parked cars from students, faculty and visitors.	‘
Campus security is concentrating on parked cars without decals. The university has a computerized list of consistent
parking violators and security officers will continue to tow away these cars.
To retrieve a car that has been towed away, it is necessary to go to the Coral Gables Police Station and show proof of ownership. The police will issue a release to be taken to the towing service.
Cars are taken to an auto service garage, where a $15 towing fee is charged.
Campus security officers have been issuing municipal court summons instead of university tickets. Fred Doerner, director of campus security, said this is because of the past ineffectiveness of university tickets.
Ticketholders may appear in court or pay a $10 fine. If the ticket is ignored by the holder, city police will take action.

President Henry King Stanford has expelled a UM student for his role in a blockade of the Ashe Building May 7, 1970.
president, who was attempting to enter the rear entrance of the Ashe Building.
Sophomore Jose Rodriguez was found guilty by a three-man disciplinary hearing panel of “participating individually and in concert with others in the material disruption of the normal and legitimate conduct and procedures of the Ashe Building.”
The three man hearing panel, consisting of one faculty member, one student and one law professor concluded that Rodriguez engaged in “non-violent disruptive protest and in one instance, violent disruptive protest.”
“I wouldn’t consider that violence,” he said.
Under the new disciplinary procedures the findings of the panel were certified to President Stanford for determination of penalty.
As a result, he was expelled by the president in accordance with the new Student Disciplinary Procedures, adopted Sept. 1.
Rodriguez was accused of taking a violent lunge at the
During the May 7 incident, Rodriguez was intercepted by a UM security officer.
Rodriguez told the Hurricane he had no intention of touching President Stanford.
Rodriguez, who was represented at the hearings by an attorney, entered a plea of mitigation and met with Dr. Stanford Sunday before a decision was reached.
In a letter with his deci-

Registration Goes ‘Smoother
Three others enrolled this year, but there was not enough positive identification to sentence them.
By JOHN REILLY Hurricane News Editor
Registration for the spring semester ended Wednesday with an undetermined number of students enrolled.
UM Registrar G. W. Smith said official figures on the enrollment at UM will be available this weekend.
“We used to schedule most of the students on Monday and Tuesday and leave Wednesday as a mop-up day,” he said. “This semester we programmed the students evenly over the three day period and it seemed to produce shorter lines and less confusion.”
“We aren’t going to make any exceptions this semester,” he said.
Smith said the determining factor in when a student
Smith said the flow of students seemed to be smoother this semester than several of the previous semesters.
Smith emphasized that the last day to change credit only courses is tomorrow at 12 noon,
starts registration is the number of credits the student has earned and not his grade point average.
Because the number of students was distributed evenly over the three day period some students were allowed to start registration early if the LC building was not crowded.
The charged students were scheduled to go on trial in county court in November, but the Executive Committee of the UM Board of Trustees asked President Stanford to drop the charges with the State Attorney’s office.
The reason for their request was that black students involved in a February, 1970 sit-in at the Financial Aid Building were being tried in criminal court while the May demonstrators were to be tried in county court.




The confusion resulted from a new state law, which changed jurisdiction of such cases from criminal to county court.
going to get polluted just from people swimming in it,” Flipse said. “That’s why swimming pools have to be chlorinated. The water can be pretty dirty and unaesth-etic, but if there don’t happen to be any disease germs in it, it’s not necessarily dangerous.”
Before he could determine the penalty for Rodriguez President Stanford said he mulled over the situation.
“But the aspect which concerned me most was the panel’s finding of violent disruption,” he said.
“I did not attempt to re-try the case ... I took the opinion of the three-man tribunal.”
The law states that all “natural public bathing places” must be operated under a permit. No such permit has ever been issued for Lake Osceola. Environmental Health Consultant J. D. Echoff also pointed out in a memo to Flipse that the lake is consistently polluted beyond the legal safe swimming level, and recommended that the lake be used only for ornamental purposes.

President Stanford said he had “enough confidence” in the system and was convinced that enough evidence was mobilized so that the panel made the right decision.”



Rodriguez said he didn’t think the panel had enough evidence to find him guilty since the facts were “questionable.”




He feels he might have been singled out because “there were more than 2,000 people involved.”
