Approximately 14,500 daytime undergraduates will register for UM’s fall semester September 14-16.
The bulk of these students will be returning to UM but many new students and transfer students will be registering here for the first time.
In an effort to ease the problems of registration WVUM, the university radio station, will broadcast courses that have been closed out every 15 minutes. In addition, a question and answer call-in program will be aired the Saturday , and Sunday night before registration,
To further aid the student, it is urged that he be pre-ad-vised. New students can only be pre-advised, by other students in the -residence halls and must watt until registration for faculty advisement. However, returning students should have seen their advisors during the last semester that they attended UM.
“Pre-advisement is a great advantage,” Associate Registrar Sidney Weisburd said. “With it, all the student has to do is pick-up his coupons.”
Registration can be simple and fast if the student follows the correct procedures.
The registering student must take his “Permit to Register” which contains the time, date, and location of his registration to the room designated on the permit.
“No one will be allowed to begin registration prior to the date or time indicated,” Weisburd said. “However, if a student is unable to begin registration at the time indicated on his permit to register, he may register anytime thereafter during regular registration.”
When a student arrives at the assigned starting room, he is seated and given a class schedule sheet, a final exam schedule, and additional material. Afterbrief instructions

Directory
Written
The Miami Hurricane will print a student directory for the school year 1970-1971.
Any student who does not want his or her name and address printed in this directory should notify the Hurricane Business Office in writing prior to October 1, 1970.
17 Names Released By Court
Officials of the Metro courts released the names last week of those 17 UM students summoned for investigation of the Feb. 19 and May 7 sit-ins at the Financial Aid and Ashe Administration Building.
The names were made public after all 17 had received their notices and appeared in court. Ten students were summoned for the Ashe sit-in and seven were called for the Financial Aid, Office demonstration.
Those named in the May 7 Ashe sit-in were: Alan Smithline; Randy Shaw; Paul Sil-verio, Robert Solomon, Dan Verde; Alexander Monroe, Jose Rodriguez, Rick Mer-win, Kenneth Colbert, and Martin Bell.
Those called for the Financial Aid sit-in were: Peggy Mills, Wayne Fulton, Jerome Trapp, John Baily, Cecil Bell, Robert Holmes, and William Pratt.
All are free on bond pending notification of a trial date. They are being represented in court by Bruce Rogow and Mennett Massey — both professors in the UM Law School.
( Those summoned for the Financial Aid demonstration will be subject to trial in the criminal court because a state law banning campus disturbances was in effect at the time.

Those called for the Ashe sit-in will be tried in civil court because a county ordinance on campus disorders had been drafted since the Feb. 19 Financial Aid rally.
The criminal court could levy a penalty of up to six months in jail for violation of the state law. In addition, some of the students may be summoned by the Dean of Men’s office for an investigation in the fall. If convicted then, some students may be suspended or expelled.
The State’s Attorney’s investigation was launched last May when the UM Board of Trustees directed President Henry King Stanford to confer with Dade’s State Attorney Richard Gerstein.
Some time ago I was asked to address a conference on "The University and the Community.* Because of the concerns of your generation—and mine—on the issues I discussed, it may be pertinent to this "Welcome to Students” to summarize briefly my comments.
I told the group that the university has a two-fold commitment to its community and to society generally:
1.	To educate specialists who are also molded by the humanizing atmosphere of the university, who as physicians, engineers, teachers, as musicians or marine scientists, lawyers or industrialists, will think of themselves first as men and women and of their clients, patients, students, also as human beings; who will thus see first, the benefit to humanity in their professional pursuits and not
the pursuits as ends in themselves; and
2.	To explore the problems of urban redevelopment, pollution control, medical care, judicial administration and a host of' other societally oriented questions with such objectivity and fairness that its findings will become the points of departure for improvement and progress.
This is not a particularly noble viewpoint. Certainly it is not new. It is, however, eminently practical for the university whose purpose is to provide an intellectual challenge in an atmosphere of moral commitment.
I would suggest to you that there is an extraordinary difference between intellect and intelligence, intellect being the crowning glory of man's potential. Even animals can show a high level of intelligence by having their learning developed to the point of being able to run a maze successfully. But intellect is something else again. It is that critical, evaluative, assessing quality of man's mind which is our greatest hope for continued improvement and even survival.

The Union’s A Hub Of Activity
The Whitten Memorial Student Union is the hub of student life at UM.
Located near the center of campus on Lake Osceola, the Union will celebrate its sixth birthday in April.
It is divided into three sections, the University Bookstore, Ibis and Hurricane Cafeterias and Student Activities area.
The Union is always buzzing with activity with beautiful lounges, meeting rooms, student and administrative offices, and bowling and billiards facilities occupying the main part of the student activities area.
But the Union is probably best noted for its heated swimming pool and outdoor patio area, which is large enough to accommodate crowds of up to 6,000 for lectures, concerts, pep rallies and other student-related
events.
Student activity does not stop at the Union, though
with more than 190 organizations in operation, university activities are spread throughout campus and the community Organizations participating in university affairs include honor and recognition societies, governing bodies professional and departmental groups, fraternities and sororities, general interest groups, religious groups, international student organizations and service
clubs.
The Union is also headquarters for the intramurals which annually includes some 8,000 partici-

ming which sent students from one meeting to the next to be addressed by administrators.
Orientation will be centered in the residence halls for resident students and in the Whitten Memorial Student Union for commuter students.
The only meeting which all new students will be expected to attend is the meeting with UM President Henry King Stanford, Monday morning, September 14. Others appearing on that program will be Dr. Armin Gropp, Vice-President for Academic Affairs; Dr. William R. Butler, Vice-President for Student Affairs; and Mark Krasnow, president of Undergraduate Student Government.
Students who have been awarded fewer than 56 credits will be required to take placement tests, which will be administered Sunday, September 13.
Student orientation staff members, who were selected last spring, can be recognized by the badges which they wear bearing the SOS letters. They will man the check-in tables and information centers during housing intake, drive the courtesy cars, act as academic advisers, and generally assist in orienting the new students to the campus.
Paul Jahr is coordinating the overall SOS program.
Offenders Have Right To Counsel
By ELIZABETH OSTROFF
Of Th® Hurricane Staff
UM students charged with major disciplinary offenses will have the right to counsel starting this September.
The change comes as part of a revised disciplinary procedure that has been “approved in principle” by the Board of Trustees and the Faculty Senate.
Another change in the procedure will be a reorganized judicial hearing panel consisting of a student and a faculty member, both chosen at random, and a chairman chosen from a rotating group of law faculty members.
Consideration is being given to allow only tenured faculty members and seniors in the upper-half of their graduating class to be eligible to serve on the panel. Law faculty members will be selected from those who have had trial experience.
“This was the best non-political system we could devise,” Vice President for Student Affairs William R. Butler said.
Students charged with minor offenses will continue to be tried through the Men’s Residence Hall Association and Associated Women Students, however.
An important feature of the new procedure will be the provision for matched counsel. This provides that if a student wishes to be represented by another student, a student will be chosen to prosecute him, but if a student hires a lawyer to defend him, a lawyer will be retained to prosecute him.
“This is a much more prostudent system,” USG Presi-dent Mark Krasnow said, “We put together a system which has pretty much everyone behind it.”
It was Krasnow who originally brought the idea of a judiciary hearing panel, rather than a single judicial officer to the attention of the administration.
Krasnow feels that the students awaiting disciplinary proceedings stemming from last semester’s sit-ins will be tried under the new system.
“Chances are that the students not yet processed through university disciplinary channels (those involved at the Ashe Building sit-in) will be tried under the new rocedures,” Krasnow said.
“Since everyone agrees that the new procedures are more equitable, it would be ludicrous to lapse back into the old system,” he said.
