Junior Laurie Gordon Named Spirit Week Queen for 1970
By JOHN REILLY
Of The Hurricane Staff
Laurie Gordon, a junior representing the apartment area, was named UM’s 1970 Spirit Week Queen at a Pep Rally last night on the Intramural Field.
Laurie is 20 years old, has a 3.0 average and a 36-24-35 figure. She is interested in drama, piano, skiing and
acting.
“The judges felt Laurie answered the questions most adequately and had the most flavor in answering the questions like a Spirit Week Queen should,” Don Spur-look, chairman of the Spirt Week Queen’s contest said.
Last night’s pep rally will be followed up by tonight’s football game between UM and the University of Tampa.
Gary Reinhardt, chairman of Spirit Week, said F.R.R.S. will be a highlight of the game.
“F.R.R.S. will be a new experience in spectator sports,” Rich Rudner of the Spirit Week Committee said.
Rudner said that everyone who attends the game will participate in F.R.R.S. in a way they never have participated in a football game before.
“We will be looking for participation and will encourage participation from everyone in the Orange Bowl tonight,” Reinhardt said.
Reinhardt has a surprise for all spectacle lovers if they attend the game.
“We are going to have someone of unusual proportions on the crowd microphone tonight, but that is all I can say. Just come to the game tonight for the greatest time of your life,” he said.
In other Spirit Week action Cleveland House won the Frisbee contest on the 960 Intramural Field with over 360 points Wednesday afternoon.
Cleveland won over two other houses in a three-way tie.
“I would like to congratulate Cleveland house for the great spirit they demonstrated and in the way they came back from a three-way tie to win the contest,” Reinhardt said.
Leaders for the overall winner of Spirit Week include Hayes house, ZBT, TKE and Pierce house. The winner will be announced Tuesday night.
“Until then the overall winner is up in the air,” Reinhardt said.

Faculty Invited To Forum
Students, faculty, administrators or staff personal interested in “rapping about anything” are invited to the University Forum on Fridays from 3 to 5 p.m.
The forum will be held at the Botany Building which is located behind the Science Building.
Dr. Shepard Faber, co-ordi-nator of the Forum, said its main purpose is to “promote understanding and access to issues.”
This Friday Dr. Faber has asked members of the Faculty Senate and the “executive committee of concerned faculty” to attend the Forum.
The most controversial issue this week seems to be tenure, according to Dr. Faber.
“I predict we’re going to see the recommendation that tenure not be an open assignment — that it should be open to periodic review,” said Dr. Faber.
The topic of the Forum cannot be stated in advance since it depends on the group that attends the session.
It is hoped all sides of the issues concerned will be represented at the Forum.
“We suffer from too little information or misinformation. The Forum provides an opportunity for us to get the record straight,” Dr. Faber said.
The Forum will be for discussing controversial issues but also for gathering information.
Dr. Faber invites students to ask people informed on current topics of interest to participate in the Forum. If there are any questions, contact him at 284-3024.
The Forum is budgeted by the university.
“It can’t help but make for a more satisfying relationship on campus” Dr. Faber said.
“I would be happy to share the expense of getting someone to speak if anyone^has any ideas or suggestions,” he added.
“My own little corner of the campus may be too far away” but it is a very “relaxing, pleasant” spot behind the engineering building (in the Botany building).
The Forum also sponsors the Academic Roundtable held Wednesdays in the Ibis Cafeteria.
“We have the cooperation of the group over 30, it is the people under 30 who I would like to see cooperate.’

USG Council voted Monday to sponsor a peace festival October 25th to raise legal funds for seven students awaiting trial for their participation in last February’s Financial Aid Office sit-in.
The students are scheduled to be tried November 6th in Civil Court.
According to sophomore Steve Chaykin, who proposed the festival, its main purpose will be to educate the UM community on the charges against the students and to raise funds to help pay for their legal fees.
Last week the festival proposal was tabled so a committee could come up with a plan for running the program.
Security measures were planned at the committee meeting and preparations for equipment were made.
The festival will feature rock music and guest speakers, law professor Minnette Massev and Dr. Nancy Clas-by, professor of English.
Both ladies have been involved in helping the charged students since they were tried by university authorities last spring.
The date for the trial was set this summer by the State Attorney’s Office.
At its first council meeting
in September, USG condemned the administration for allowing the students to be tried in Civil Court. It also directed USG President Mark Krasnow “to bring pressure upon the administration” to drop the charges.
Last year’s sit-in was led by the United Black Students to protest the university’s number of black students and scholarships for blacks.
The sit-in ended when UM Director of Admissions George Giampetro signed a
statement that assured UBS the university would recruit 200 blacks.
UM mass assembly policy allows peaceful demonstration as long as the normal procedures of the university are not being disrupted.
Currently the policy is being studied by a student-faculty-administration committee, which was organized at Krasnow’s request.
Krasnow said the policy needs revision and updating.

Faculty tenure and the relevancy of the Board of Trustees were among the subjects of a lively discussion last night at the Gadflies’ Forum in the International Lounge.
The often heated forum lasted until 11 p.m. when the microphones were shut off. At that time President Henry King Stanford told students that he would be in his office at 8 a.m. today if they wished to see him.
Both students and faculty members took the opportunity to question President Stanford, Louis J. Hector, Board of Trustees member, Dean of Arts and Sciences Louis McQuitty, Vice President of Academic Affairs Armin Gropp, and Professors Charles Eyre, and Herman Myer.
The questioning began as UM student Jeff Wollman asked Dr. Gropp to “state his side of the tenure memorandum.”
“The Board of Trustees instructed us that we were not to grant tenure without the Board’s approval,” Dr. Gropp said, referring to the fact that he and President Stanford had awarded tenure to a number of individuals last semester in order to beat a March 31 deadline.
“The Board reminded us that they were the only agency which could grant tenure,” Dr. Gropp said.
When Gadfly Rocky Walters asked Dr. Gropp if the Board had ever exercised their right to deny tenure to a recommended faculty member, Dr. Gropp replied, “In the five years that I’ve been here there’s never been a revocation of any recommendation for tenure.
Both Dr. Stanford and Dr. Gropp reaffirmed that they would resign should the Board fail to grant tenure for political reasons.
Dr. Stanford characterized the Board as a “self-prepetu-a t i n g membership” and added that attempts are being made to fill a vacancy on the Board with a black trustee.
In regard to the State Attorney’s prosecution of UM students for their involvement in last spring’s demonstrations, President Stanford said, “I would not (have called in the State Attorney’s Office) if not directed by the Board of Trustees.
When another student Jerry Gorde questioned the ability of the Board to make decisions, since there is one member of the Board who has a known criminal record, Dr. Stanford replied, “One

Profs Plan Symposium
The Miami Chapter of the American Association of University Professors (AAUP) agreed Tuesday to sponsor a symposium on the trials of the students who are being prosecuted for their part in last year’s UM demonstrations.
The plan grew out of a motion which recommended that President Henry King Stanford drop charges.
“Because of the complicated history of these cases, involving, as it does, double jeopardy in a moral sense for some of the students, hints of state interference in the affairs of a private institution and suggestions of suppression of political dissent and selective prosecution the further pursuit of these students can only exacerbate tensions of the university community,” a resolution which, was introduced, but not acted upon, stated.
In order to obtain more facts the organization will invite President Stanford, Dean of Men William Sandler, Dr. William Butler, vice president for student affairs, lawyers and advisors to an open symposium so that all sides of the case may be heard.
The AAUP also said academic qualifications are the only proper standards by which to evaluate fitness for faculty tenure.

Enrollment Hits High
Figures released last week by the Registrar’s office show that UM’s fall enrollment has risen to 18,220 as compared to 18,026 last year.
“It’s never been this high before,” Associate Registrar Sidney Weisburd said.
“It’s the highest number of bodies on campus — but I don’t know that that’s the overall picture in dollars,” Weisburd said.
The enrollment figures are as follows:
College of Arts and Sciences — 3,299 men and 1,939 women.
School of Business — 2,062 men and 257 women.
School of Education — 575 men and 1,563 women.

administrators and faculty members.
The faculty, administrators and students held lively and informal discussions ranging in their topics from faculty tenure to forced bussing of school children.
“Today was an excellent session attended by various members of the administration and faculty, but sparse students,” Roundtable Co-coordinator Bill Jordan said.
“Any questions that any student in this university wanted answered, could have been answered today,” Jordan said.
Faculty and administrators in attendance included Director of Admissions George Giampetro, UM Business Manager William McLaughlin, Counselor for Resident Students Dr. Lynn Bartlett, Acting Dean of Women Dr. Louise Mills, Director of Aca-demie Services Robert Fuerst, Olive Horton from the Dean of Women’s Office, Assistant Dean of Men Ron Koszuta, Dean of Men William R. Sandler, Security Director Fred Doerner, and others.
President Stanford spoke about his job, tenure, and answered all questions that were posed to him.
“My job is a vortex of
