Manfred, 37, was awed at the site of the relatively new buildings on the campus.

None of the three are lackeys by any stretch of the imagination. Rost, also 37, is a m.cro-biologist, Manfred, a neuro-pathologist and Reinhold a pathologist.
When asked if they might teach at UM, the lady spokesman ehimed in, “No I don’t think they would do that, there’s not enough
money at UM. Right now they are not at liberty to say what they’re going to do.”
Apparently this is being saved for Life Magazine.
Reinhold, who speaks practically no English, tried to relay the friendliness of the people they have encountered so far.
“The students and teachers seem so friendly here,” brother Manfred related. “The student-to-student relationships in my country are also friendly but sometimes, it is political.”
The lady representative broke in and stopped the conversation. “That’s all they can say about that,” she said.
“Let me ask you something,” Manfred said. “Can you say anything you want around here?” The reporter answered, “yes.”
As the three packed up to leave Manfred said, “What you are doing in this office could never be done in my country.”
On December 30, the three men will have their hearing before the Immigration Department.
They are hopeful that the decision will be favorable.

If the students of the Hurricane newsreel program have their way, UM will become the film capital of U.S campuses.
Formed in early September to shoot newsreels concerning campus life, the group has expanded to filming documentaries, using stills in the newsreels, featurettes and is working on a script-writing program.
Spokesmen for the group, Len DePanicis and Bruce Isacson, said the group has grown from 35 members to more than 80 in just two months.
“Our first newsreel showed life in the dorms, the Bookstore and the Ring Theatre. It was in black and white with sound,” DePanicis said. “It was also shown on Channel 2 in Miami.”
The group’s first color production was a newsreel on the events of Homecoming Week 1970. The UM Alumni Association liked it so much they have agreed to buy the film.
Negotiations are being finalized with The Miami Herald for the group to shoot a color documentary on The Herald as a public service.
“Students identify with our films because these films are made by fellow students,” Isacson said. “ I hat >s what makes our films different from others on campus life.”
Isacson said students are given the chance to experience every aspect of films, from technical, to acting, to script-writing, to directing and advertising.
“We also have lectures once a week, given by experienced students, so they can share their knowledge with the students,” he said.
The group’s latest project
is a UM recruitment film to be shown to high school students all over the country.
“The recruitment film will be made so high school students can identify with it and UM,” Isacson said.
After the recruiting film is finished students will start producing a featurette. It will be a 30 .minute movie, with an original script and sound track, filmed on the UM campus using UM students for actors and crowd scenes.
The group owns all its equipment; a 16 mm Bolex with a 400-foot magazine with a sound-sync generator. The group has access to three Bell and Howells and all its own tripods, lights, recording equipment and projector.
The major problem the group has is money. The Hurricane pays for all newsreels and for the Homecoming film but the students
need money for other projects they have planned.
“We have asked Student Government for $1,500 to produce the featurette and we think it will be approved,” DePanicis said.
First Tuesday of NBC, and Newsweek magazine have expressed interest in doing stories on the film program.
“The newsreels are becoming more serious and original,” Jim Cosgrove, one of the students in charge of the newsreels said. “Although we have expanded very fast everyone still likes what we do.”
All newsreels are shown in the LC Building before the feature films.
There will'be‘hn important meeting of all students interested in the newsreel program Thursday night in room S-241, at 8 p.m, in the Student Union.

Student Body Government elections for freshmen and sophomore senators, freshman and upper-class seats on the Student Entertainment Committee, and two referendum issues will be held Thursday and Friday from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m.
The election booths will be located in the lower lounge of the Student Union and in the Memorial Classroom reading room.
All undergraduates are eligible to vote for the referendum issues of raising the activity fee by $3 per semester for a field house and by $.75 per semester for United Fund.
Freshmen only will be allowed to vote for the four freshman senators, and sophomores only for the one sophomore representative.
Students must show their UM identification cards, and non-duplicable paper ballots will be used.
At press time, the following candidates were approved by the Election Commission:
Mark Deutsch and Willy Hays for the four freshman vacancies in Senate; Alan Arzt, Cal Leventhal, Pat Wilson and Jeff Wollman for the sophomore Senate vacancy; Darryl Damico and John Lisk for the freshman seat of the S.E.C. and Nacy Baren, Tim Keyser and Robin London for the upper-class seat on S.E.C.
Other candidates who reported to the Hurricane for interviews but were not officially approved at press time include: David Acton, Philip Holtzberg, Tommy Leon-hardt, and Dave Shultz on a slate for freshman senators; Jerry Gorde for sophomore senator; and Stu Weiss for upper-class S.E.C. seat.
Since candidates first announced their candidacies there has been a controversy over the election rules.
Last Thursday the Student Body Government Supreme Court directed the Election Commission to extend its pe-

SUMMON Mounting; Dollar Drive
By ELIZABETH OSTROFF Assistant News Editor
SUMMON UM’s program for student-community involvement, which has gone virtually unfunded for three semesters, will seek financial help from UM students and faculty this week during a fund raising drive.
“We’ll be approaching all segments of the university — students faculty, administrators, employees-everybody SUMMON founder and Director Norman Manasa said.
Manasa and other SUMMON volunteers will be asking IIM faculty members and employees for contributions today and Wednesday and will make the student population their target on Thursday and Friday. SUMMON is asking for $5 per person.
“Up ’til now SUMMON has been a virtually unfunded
nro-ram so the money collected will go toward paying off debts operation of the program, for instructional materials for the people with whom we work, for Christmas parties,
and for field trips,” Manasa said.	•
The money collected by SUMMON will go directly to a UM account solely for use by SUMMON and all contributions
arp tax deductible.	_
“Five dollars sounds like a lot,” Manasa said, until its
balanced against the need of this program and the hundreds of people it services each week.”
Among the community agencies and individuals serviced by SUMMON volunteers who receive academic credit for their work, are the Dade County Jail, the stockade, "migrants, retarded children’s homes, and school children who can’t read.
“We provide tutoring and simple human care,” Manasa
said.
SUMMON will also sponsor movies tonight through Friday in the LC building and dormitories. Admission will be 25 cents.
Manasa said SUMMON volunteers collecting during the drive will be identifiable by green and white name tags and manila envelopes stamped with the word SUMMON
“This may seem like a narrow attitude, but this is the university’s own program, and by right, the cost should be born by the members of the university,” Manasa said.
“The 197 students and 17 faculty members participating in SUMMON have made a serious committment to the social ills which plague us all,” he said. “We only ask the other people of the university to do the same.”

Thursday and Friday, when they vote in the Student Body Government referendums, which will be held in conjunction with the Freshman class representative elections.
The field house referendum provides for a $3 semester increase in the Student Activity Fee for the next 10 years, for the financing of a loan for construction of a bubble-type field house.
The field house will be located at the present site of the sewage treatment plant, and will be used for concerts, sports events, registration, and other activities.
The structure will be a giant inflatable plastic bubble, based on a ten-foot concrete wall. It will seat approximately 7,500 and will withstand winds up to 200 m.p.h.
“Right now, the whole issue depends on the students’ cooperation,” Student Body Government President Mark Krasnow said. “If this referendum doesn’t pass, the field house is scrubbed.”

Was SEC Equipment Lent Out?
By ELIZABETH OSTROFF
Assistant News Editor
Controversy between the chairman of the Student Entertainment Committee and university administrators erupted late Friday when it was learned that $18,000 worth of sound and lighting equipment had been taken without proper authorization from the campus for use at a privately produced concert.
Sparks began to fly when it was learned that SEC chairman Erwin Ellerin had contracted with Magic City Productions to rent the equipment for $1,310 for the two night Sly and the Family Stone Concert at the Miami Jai-Lai fronton.
Ellerin who wrote the contract and signed it himself, claims he was not aware of the fact that in order to be valid, the contract had to be initialled by Union officials Kay Whitten and William Sheeder and then must be sent to Vice President of Fi-n a n c i a 1 Affairs Eugene Cohen.
Article IV of the SEC bylaws reads in part: “All aspects of the particular event quests prepared for forwarding to the Vice President for Financial Affairs. Copies of all contracts and corresponding material shall be sent to the President of U.S.G. and the Vice President for Student Affairs,”
Possible rental of the equipment had been discussed by the committee ever
