He’s urging everyone who is flying home for the holidays to boycott Eastern Airlines for their reluctance to take anti - pollution leasures. He’s making list, checking in twice, and it looks like Eastern may soon pay the price. So have a happy, and if you have to, take a train.

When Mohr protested he was told, “shut up or we’ll blow your head off.”
Diamond said the three men were apparently waiting for Mohr for several hours the robbery took place.
“I was in my room at 10
p.m. when two blacks came to the room' and asked for Ricky Mohr” he said. “At 10:30 two of then asked next door if my roommate was in.”
The men were also seen by the resident advisor of the floor prior to the robbery.
The students were robbed of jewelry, about $30 in cash, 10 shirts, and a leather jacket.
Before the men left they bound the students with electrical cord and gagged them with socks.

Getting a head start on the holiday spirit, the sisters of Phi Sigma Sigma and Delta Delta Delta sororities and brothers of Alpha Epsilon Pi volunteered their services at Mt. Sinai and Jackson Memorial Hospitals and the Montanan School for the Emotionally Disturbed last Saturday.
The volunteer program was the first all-Greek Philanthropy Day sponsored by the university.
“The kids loved the cake; one boy had seven pieces and would have had more but we ran out,” said Jodie Klauber, a sophomore.
“We played tic-tac-toe, watched T.V. and had a lot of fun just talking with the children,” Junior Valerie Zabban said.
“They rarely have a party so we brough them cookies and pretzels. It certainly was rewarding experience, the were so happy; they kissed us all good-bye.”

secretary said the girl was undergoing X-ray treatment.
Gables Police are currently investigating the crime.
Mohr said he and his roommate intend to move off campus as soon as possible.
“Most of the students on the floor feel that it could not happen to them so I doubt that any will move off campus because of what hap-
pened to us,” Mohr said.
Both Diamond and Mohr feel that it was no accident the men picked their room to rob.
“I definitely feel it was a set up,” Mohr said, “they were after me, they took $1000 worth of my belongings.”
“Long ago we gave up trying to keep the fire doors in the men’s tower in good repair because of the vandalism,” he said. “But with the magnetic locks I hope it will be stopped.”
Jack Cantwell, head resident of the 1968 dormitory, said he does not think the robberies will Influence many residents to move out of the dorms.
James Grimm, director of Housing, said there is not much Housing can do after the magnetic locks are installed.
“I don’t anticipate a whole lot of people moving out,” he said. “It won’t have an effect
“I have talked to a lot of people about the problem and there is nothing else we can do,” Grimm said.
Financial Woes Curb BBiring
Stanford Freezes
UM Employment
By ELIZABETH OSTROFF
Assistant News Editor
A freeze on the hiring of all new and most replacement personnel through the 1971-72 fiscal year has been instituted by President Stanford. The action comes in response to a drop in anticipated tuition and “expenditure increases beyond our control.”
number of university activities thus far this year is an estimated deficit of $1,540,000 for 1970-71.”
In Tuesday’s memo President Stanford added that the “1971-72 financial situation will be much more serious
than it is this year . . . Until the instructions for the prep-

The freeze does not apply to university employees who are also full-time students; however.
reeks Set Holiday Spirit
Although UM’s overall enrollment is up this semester, the total number of full-time students is down between five and six hundred students which means a loss of about $1.2 million,” UM Business Manager William F. McLaughlin said.
The initial announcement of the freeze was made by President Stanford in a memorandum sent to all division heads, deans, directors and department chairmen on November 16. A supplementary memo was issued this Tuesday.
“Income is not meeting budgeted expectations in several other major categories for example, unrestricted gifts, indirect expense (overhead), recovery from sponsored research and training grants and contracts, football ticket sales and housing,” the November 16 memo stated.
The memorandum also stated that during the Spring semester of 1970 undergraduate tuition equalled 91.4 per cent of undergraduate tuition income for the fall semester of 1969. “An increase in this percentage for the spring semester, 1971, which mitigate somewhat our current problems.”
According to McLaughlin the national economic recession, and last year’s tax reform law which makes it more difficult for donors to give property to the university due to the lessened tax benefits, have added to the university’s financial woes.
In addition, the memorandum states that “unavoidable additional expenditures are being incurred.” Among these are recently imposed Metro utility taxes, an increase in insurance premiums, an increase in City of Coral Gables fees for garbage and trash removal (they have doubled), and an increase in tuition allowances for dependents of faculty and staff members.
Other increases cited by President Stanford were for the employer FICA contributions which will cost the university an unbudgeted $134,-000 in 1970-71, and a new Federal law requiring University employees to be covered by unemployment insurance which may cost as much as $40,000.

UM Soph Guilty
Of Flag Desecration
By IRIS HOROWITZ
Of The Hurricane Staff
UM sophomore Tom Wolfenberger has been found guilty of the new City Ordinance which makes it illegal to use the American Flag for any purpose other than flying.
He was arrested Friday, Dec. 4, in front of the Miami Jai-Alai Fronton for loitering and prowling charges which were dropped because he proved probably cause to be there, and descration of the American flag. Wolfenberger had a flag decal with a peace symbol on the blue field imprinted on his motorcycle helmet.
Although Berverly Gurevitz of the American Civil Liberties Union pleaded that the ordinance was unconstitutional, Wolfenberger was found guilty and- fined $25. An appeal is pending.
“After I was found guilty,” Wolfenberger said, “Judge Braynon said that he didn’t want me to think that this reflected his feelings; He said it’s a new law and he had to uphold the law which I was in violation of.”
Ordinance 7915 reads: “It shall be unlawful for any person within the city, in any manner, for exhibition or display, to place or cause to be placed any word figure, mark, picture, design, drawing, or any advertisement of any nature, upon which any flag standard, colors, or design of the United States of America . . .”
Wolfenberger said he thinks the law is ridiculous and unconstitutional.
“There will be grave discrimination in the area of enforcement,” he said. “People who display ‘love it or leave it’ signs won’t be pulled in, but those who display
‘peace now’ signs will be.”

On Gables
April Vote
By IRIS HOROWITZ
Of The Hurricane Staff
The Coral Gables City Commission voted to add a $5 million civic and sports center, pending a feasibility study, to an already slated April ballot.
The April ballot includes $22 million worth of capital improvements including a new sewer system and lighting.
If passed, the center will be located on the 7Y2 acre tract where the UM sewage treatment plant site, is located.
The site has already been approved by UM students for the construction of a $600,000 bubble type field-house. Students voted last week to donate $3 each per semester for 10 years to finance their facility.
Save UM Sports Committee Chairman Harold Solomon and other committee members said they were confident that an agreement could be reached to make a joint project with the students and Coral Gables.
“I feel strongly that the field house on our campus should be primarily available to UM students for UM activities,” Student Body Government President Mark Krasnow said.
“It would be a mistake to allow Coral Gables City Commission to erect a build-
ing on our own campus which would be only available to the university a few nights a month,” he said.
“The university would have to pay rent to use the structure and it would be governed by the City Commission,” he said.
Krasnow said we would be willing to compromise but not willing to finance a Coral Gables Civic Center to be located on our campus.
“It seems to be a political football game,” he said, “No one seems to be willing to take a stand.”
The UM cabinet tabled a final voting for 30 days pending an attempt to reconciliate the Save UM Sports Committee’s effort with the student government bubble project.
The cabinet could not take any final action because three of the five vice presidents and the president were represented but not present.
