Senate Censure Nixed
By BARBARA KERR

Censure charges pending against seven Student Body Government Senators, indicted for gross negligence, have officially been dropped by SBG Deputy Attorney General Jeff Wollman,
taken by the seven senators at the inpeachment trial of the SGB Vice President and Treasurer.
The charge of gross negligence stemmed from actions

Hot Pants
UM Apathy Kills Roundtable Forum
The best things in life are behind the counter — especially if she’s wearing hot pants. With the warm weath-
er getting hotter all the time, it’s hoped more girls will step from behind counters, out of the dorms and onto the campus wearing this latest fash* ion that could warm the coldest northerner.

RA Rally	;
The Academic Roundtable is dead.
“After three semesters with no participation, it is going to be dropped,” Bob Jordan, coordinator of the Roundtable said.
“I simply think people would rather bitch than do something about it,” Dr. Shepard Faber said, concerning the demise of the Roundtable and the lack of attendance.
was the contention of the attorney general’s office that no such motion should have been entertained until such time as all evidence for each charge was heard by the SBG Senate.
In a general letter presented to the SBG Senate at Friday’s meeting, Wollman said, “In no way should this action be construed to mean that this office (attorney general) has not found sufficient evidence to support our belief that negligence was demonstrated by those senators in the execution of their responsibility to their constituency.”
The AWS Central Council passed the Women’s Visitation Policy, at their meeting Thursday. It has now been sent to the Dean of Women’s Office and to Joel Rudy, director of Resident Student Development for review.
If the policy is passed at that level, it will go to the Dean of Students; Dr. Butler, vice president of Student Affairs; and then to the UM Board of Trustees.
Talks In Progress
The Roundtable provided a medium for the UM community to come together at the lunch table to get a start on how to solve problems that students felt strongly about.
When the fieldhouse issue was under fire earlier this year, members of “the board of trustees were there, but no one came to answer their questions about it,” Jordan said.
The attorney general’s office made this decision based on the realization that “constructive cooperation” rather than “further division” would be in the best interest of the student body.
“The policy can be returned at any point along the way, or they can keep it tied up for as long as they want,” Mary Lowey, chairman of the AWS Rules Revision Committee said.
In the visitation poll that was conducted in the women’s dorms, 78 per cent voted to accept a room visitation policy. The only question on the poll that didn’t have a clear-cut majority either way, was the question of changing or abolishing first semester freshman curfew.
The policy passed by Central Council includes the following recommendations;

A rally on the Rock to mobilize resident students behind the apartment area resident advisors’:attempt to redefine their roles has been postponed.
The R.A.s said their decision came after UM Resident Student Development moved to hold “brainstorming” sessions to review next year’s budget and the operating philosophy of RSD.
changes would work in our area.”
Rudy has announced that he will make a decision on March 10 as to changes, if any, in the operating philosophy of RSD for next year.
If however, the decision does not appease the R.A.’s, they plan to go ahead with their intended rally.
“Members of the UM Board of Trustees, Dr. Stanford, Dr. Gropp, and many professors attended these sessions, which were open to all students and the lack of participation was amazing,” said Jordan.
The Roundtable and the Forum, which still exists, is co-ordinated by Bob Jordan and Robin Gingras with Dr. Shepard Faber as advisor.
For those students who still care about what is happening at UM, the University Forum meets at the benches near the Rock on Fridays from 3 to 5 p.m. It is an informal session where anyone can come and discuss any views they feel like airing.
The initials, T.W.D.C.D.C., printed on the posters that announced the meetings of the Roundtable were translated by Dr. Faber as meaning: Those Who Don’t Care, Don’t Come.
“The recent impeachment trial has served as a gauge by which many inadequacies of the SBG Constitution have been raised,” the letter stated. No procedures for SBG legal hearings have been written into the SBG Constitution.
“The attorney general’s office will, therefore, dedicate its efforts for the remainder of this semester to writing a set of rules and procedures which will ensure proper, fair, and expeditious treatment of such cases, should they arise in the future,” Wollman said.

“We feel it is better not to hold the rally at this time,” ■the R.A.s said. “We are leaving the decision whether to hold the rally or not on Joel Rudy’s decision on next year’s operating philosophy.”
Rudy, director of Resident Student Development, previously rejected the R.A.’s proposal to redefine the role of the R.A.
The R.A.’s said they postponed the rally “to see if Rudy and his department will respond to the needs of the students in regard to the apartment area R.A.’s proposal which would give the resident student more responsibility.”
“The philosophy behind the whole affair is that a person is needed who can relate to the students without being a threat to them,” the R.A.’s said. “No member of RSD can relate, at this time, to a student without being that threat.”
The brainstorming sessions, to review RSD s operating philosophy, will include the head R.A.’s of every area and a man and women R.A. of every area.
“Basic changes are needed but it is up to each area to find what is best for them, the apartment area R.A.s said. “We only said our

Undersea Explorer Jacques Cousteau Spoke At Marine Center Dedication Friday
Sea Not To Be Ruthlessly Exploited,’
Says Cousteau At Center Dedication

Famed oceanographer Jacques Yves Cousteau was featured at the Friday dedication of UM’s $2.1 million Henry L. Doherty Marine Science Center.
getting to the moon rather than on poverty, conservation, or even oceanographic studies.
colony to be ruthlessly exploited.”
The dedication °f the
still-to-be-completed administrative center took place at UM’s Rosenstiel School of Marine and Atmospheric Science at Virginia Key on the Ricken-backer Causeway.
“The hope of mankind was precisely that a few of us were able to leave our world in order to have a better outlook,” Cousteau said.
In his remarks Commandant Cousteau drew a parallel between space efforts and undersea study.
He noted that at t ie time of the Apollo 14 launch, which he attend-ed, many people be moaned the fact that so much money was spent on
Cousteau noted that from the spacecraft man could better appreciate “our water-gifted planet”.
The Director of Monaco’s Institut Océanographique catalogued the three most exciting events of this year as the use of satellites to monitor the oceans, the breakthrough in saturation diving, and the realization that “The. undersea is part of man s environment and not a
Costeau also spoke of the “dying ocean” and said that films that he had taken of undersea life during his recent televised cruise on the “Calypso” might become the only record of life forms that are rapidly becoming extinct in a polluted sea.
He deplored the trend away from the “pluralism and freedom” that had marked American science subsequent to WWII.
Cousteau recounted how he and his diving party entered a fissue in the
Today, he said, the scientist must either go to “charity or hypocricy” for funding.
Cousteau was particularly hard on the American scientific establishment which he accused of “entering an era of goal-ism.” He said that scientific interest has swung away from the visionary aspects to the practical, and consequently research grants are usually available to those who demonstrate a practical goal in their work.
About UM’s marine science installation, Cousteau said, “Each time I come here, it has grown bigger — the labs are better equipped: may it be used by scientists liberated from today’s pressure ot goalism.”
The sixty-year-old author, inventor, and scientist, told the dedication audience that he had taken “the most fascinating dive of his career” this past week near Andros Island in the Bahamas.
ocean floor and eventually found their way into a tremendous stalagtite and stalagmite filled cave hundreds of feet below the ocean floor.
According to Cousteau this indicated that this area had only been submerged for the past 11 or 12 thousand years.
Cousteau was joined by fellow speakers Dr. William D. McElroy, director of the National Science Foundation; Doherty Foundation Vice President A. C. Newlin; and First National Bank of Miami Vice President Ortho B. Bruce; and UM President Henry King Stanford. Congressman Claude Pepper was also on hand.
has invited them; the host shall at all times be responsible for the conduct of her guests.
•	In accommodations where a private washroom is available, the men may use that lavatory; in accommodations where washrooms are shared (double rooms in Pearson Hall, all rooms in 960 and 1968 complexes) men must use rest rooms in the common areas.
•	The presence of male guests shall not constitute license for dangetous or unhealthy overcrowding of liv-‘ ing units.
•	Quiet hours must be observed when in effect.
•	Dress regulations must be observed at all times.
policy violations will be enforced by the staff of the department of resident student development, and viola-t o r s will be processed through existing judicial channels.
The office of RSD along with the AWS and MRHA legislatures will be empowered to interpret the policy, in the event that interpretation should become necessary.
“There’s a lot of misunderstanding about the policy by the women on campus,” Mary Lowey said. “Many thought it was a 24-hour visitation policy that was being considered.”
The AWS Rules Revision Committee feels that the students have the right to request any changes in policy that have become outdated.
“If the policy goes into effect this semester, there would be approximately two months left for a trial period, which would provide the least amount of inconvenience,” Mary Lowey said.
At the conclusion of the trial period, the policy may be recommended for modification and-or adoption as an official university policy.
Concerts
Coming?
By JOHN REILLY
Hurricane News Editor
The Student Entertainment Committee has begun a concentrated drive to get the UM concert series back on campus.
SEC will soon begin to distribute buttons, posters and bumper stickers advocating “COC” concerts on campus.
“It could be the biggest thing this campus has ever seen,” Irwin Ellerin, chairman of SEC, said. “But COC needs student support.” Ellerin said SEC will start a collection in the Student Union Breezeway to obtain money for the COC campaign.
“If we can get the students off their asses, we can get concerts back on campus,” he said.
Ellerin, speaking before the Union Board of Governors, asked permission for Black Sabbath to appear on the Union Patio tomorrow night.
UBOG voted down the proposal citing the fact that it would interfere with a lecture given by Mercury Morris in the International Lounge.
UBOG did approve Elle-rin’s request which will allow Brewer & Shipley to give a concert on the Patio Thursday night.
Brewer & Shipley will appear at 8 p.m. UBOG also approved a concert on the Patio by Seatrain, March 28 from 8-11 p.m.
