« astronauts deplored “the small minori-t dents who won’t listen to the other ■ hut Lovell added, “Verbal protest is one constitutional rights. If we lose that
right we’re violating the Constitution.”
The astronauts listed the main concerns of the students they had met on the tour as ecology, oppression, urban renewal and the Vietnam war.
“We’re trying to relate our problem-solving
techniques to theirs,” Lovell said. Most of the students are concerned about war, and I don’t blame them, * Lovell said. “It’s very real to their generation.”
‘ My impressions have changed about the average student,” Swigert said. “But I have to fault the average students because they don’t stand up and disassociate themselves (from those students who advocate violence).”
Swigert added that violent actions by a small group of students “makes the general population mad,” at all students.
“We’ve got to be mature enough to make the system work,” Lovell said, “otherwise we’ll get a dictatorship far to the left or far to the right.
‘ Teamwork, maturity, and communication when we don't have these things, we end in violence,” Lovell said.
The astronauts were asked about the benefits of the space program and whether or not the program justified the money it received.
“There are three billion people on earth,”
Swigert said. “By 2000 there will be six billion. We will have 30 years to duplicate the food production it took 3800 years to create.”
Swigert noted that experiments with lunar dust mixed with earth soil have caused plants to grow three to four times the regular rate.
The astronauts explained that there were two types of federal programs: those that use resources like Medicare and those that create resources like the spa!ce program.
“But unless we put something in, we can’t get something out,” Swigert said.
Swigert also noted that proportionately a country like India spends a greater percentage of its gross national product on space-related programs than America does.
The astronauts said 19,000 patents have been issued for discoveries that have come out of the space program and that the area of greatest advance has been medical monitoring. They also cited the use of the fabric used in space suits in the manufacture of ski wear.
The astronauts were asked if they saw their role as that of mere technicians.
“I think the space program has given us some notoriety,” Swigert said. “We feel a responsibility that it’s important to establish communications to keep universities from dividing.”

Just as Beatlemania planted its seeds in the pockets of the American consumer, the Spiro T. Agnew craze is following the same pattern in today’s economy.
First, came the famous wristwatch, then came the Spiro sweatshirt, and now UM has joined in on the Agnewmania with the Spiro Agnew hardhat marketed in the Bookstore.
Deserving credit for the new construction worker s headpiece is Jim Fleming, a UM alumnus.

cheerleader, and Iron Arrow man, Fleming believes that Spiro Agnew answers the call for the new contemporary folk hero — somewhat like the Davy Crokett ’coon-skin-hat image.
“I admire him for sticking to what he believes, but I don’t agree with him on anything he says,” Fleming said.
The company, Spiro Productions, Inc. including UM alumni, Jack Gregg, Ron Sill, and Ron Findlay, operates out of a storeroom in Ron Sill’s film production company office.
The hat itself is shipped in from California. Then it goes to Hallandale where red, white, and blue decals, designed by Miami artist Don Wright are applied to the white cap.
Last week, the hats went on sale in UM’s bookstore for $5.93.
“We hope that the craze may turn from fad to fash-Fleming said.
Ethel Kennedy, Martha Mitchell, Jane Fonda, Johnny Carson, and Rowan and Martin are among the celebrities who have received their very own hardhats.
Fleming hopes these peo-
the firm will market the hats on the national level.
“The hat has not received a negative reaction, yet,” Fleming said.
Fleming, who never goes anywhere without wearing his Agnew hardhat, added “the overall acceptance is excellent.”

Nearly 11,300 students are eligible to vote on three ref-erendums today, the final day for Student Body Government elections.
If all the issues are passed by a simple majority of voters the student activity fee may be raised $3.85 each semester, beginning this January. All raises are subject to approval of the board of trustees.
The referertdum issues are as follows:
•	Do you approve of the student body assessing itself $3.00 per semester for the construction of a field house?
•	Would you be in favor of an increase in the student activity fee of 75 cents per semester to be given to the United Fund of Dade County?
•	Do you approve an increase in the student activity fee of 10 cents per semester to provide the library with two or more students for the three week period prior to finals and to provide the addi-t i o n a 1 maintenance cost which will be necessitated?
All full-time undergraduates are eligible to vote on these issues.
The candidates as they appear on the ballot are as follows:
Mark Deutsch, Willy Hays, Phil Holtzberg, and Tommy Leonhardt for the freshman Senate seats; Pat Wilson, Alan Arzt, and Jerry Gorde for the sophomore Senate seat; Darryl Damico, Tim Keyser, John Lisk, Robin London, Nancy Baren, and Stu Weiss for the SEC.
According to Richard i)e Quattro, chairman of the Election Commission, the non-duplicable ballots will be counted by a quorum of the commission tonight, and results will be announced as soon as they are finished.
If the issue on the bubble-type field house passes, according to SBG Vice-presi-

Who Votes For What?
All full-time undergraduate students are eligible to vote in the SBG elections. Freshmen may vote only for freshman candidates. Sophomores may vote only for sophomore candidates. All full-time students may vote on the referenda and for the representatives on the Student Entertainment Conimittee.
Polling places will be located in the lower lounge of the Student Union and in the center of the Memorial Building. Students must present their IDs in order to vote.
dent Don Spurlock, final plans will be drawn up and submitted for administration and Coral Gabies Commission approval.
With this approval he said ground -breaking should begin in June or July.
the field house would be located at the present site of the sewage treatment plant, and would be used for concerts, sports events and other activities. The “giant inflatable plastic bubble,” based on a concrete wall, will seat approximately' 7,500 and will
withstand winds up to 200 m.p.h.
If the issue is not passed by the student body, SBG will seek funds from other sources Spurlock said.
The issue to increase the activity fee for library funds would allow the library to hire more staff to remain open 24-hours a day before and during finals. This may be implemented in January on an experimental basis.
“If you agree or disagree with what your representatives are putting before you, you should vote.” Spurlock said, “Voting is an expression of yourself and one voté can make a difference.”
In last spring’s elections, of 9,000 persons eligible to vote, approximately 3,300 voted, only 33.6 per cent.
Senate Teikes Control In Equipment Dispute
By MELANI VAN PETTEN
Of The Hurricane Staff
Student Body Government Senate voted unanimously Monday in favor of a resolution establishing that SBG has exclusive control over its own internal matters, including the use of equipment belonging to SBG.
The resolution stemmed from controversy involving the officially unauthorized use of UM’s $18,000 sound system at the Sly and the Family Stone concert at the Jai Alai Fronton last week.
The issue revolved around the possibility that Student Entertainment Committee Chairman Irwin Ellerin, who was responsible for the system, might suffer disciplinary action for renting it without proper authorization.
“I think a dangerous precedent is being set for the Director of Student Activities to file a complaint with the Dean of Men and open the matter to disciplinary action,” SBG President Mark Kras-
Wm. Sheeder
. .. idangerous precedent’
now commented. “This is an internal matter that should be dealt with by SBG.”
The difficulties began Friday afternoon when Director of Student Activities William Sheeder discovered for the first time that the equipment was to be used that evening at the concert. After he became aware that the rental had not gone through proper channels, Sheeder called Ellerin at the fronton and de-

Spiro Productions achieves a sellout in Miami,
By JOHN REILLY
Of The Hurricane Staff
The second armed robbery on the UM campus in less than 10 days was staged Monday in the 960 Dorm.
According to Director of Security Fred Doerner a black male, armed with a gun, allegedly entered the second floor of the men’s tov/er and gained entry to a room where he robbed a resident at gunpoint.
The resident, who wishes to remain anonymous, said he answered a knotk at his door and a man in his late teens or early 20’s pulled a gun and ordered him into the room.
“He said he was looking for drugs,” the student said. “He made me search the entire room for him.”
The resident said the man mentioned that someone had stolen $150 from him and he should steal the money from someone else.
“I guess he was trying to justify robbing me,” the student said.
“Then he put the gun to my head and ordered me to break into my roommate’s drawer,” the student said. “He took some valuables and some cash.”
After warning the student not to follow him the man left.
“This is a most serious crime because of the magnitude of armed robbery,” Doerner said.
The robbery took place between 12:25 and 12:35 p.m. It is being investigated by UM Security and the Coral Gables Police.
The dorms have a security problem because of fire doors that open both ways, Doerner said.
“Magnetic doors which only open in an emergency and which can be triggered from the main desk or by a fire alarm will probably be installed before Christmas vacation,” Michael Vavrek, head resident of 960, said.
Doerner could not say if the assailant was the same person who helped rob apartment 36 Nov. 30 or if the two robberies were connected in any way.

manded the immediate return of the equipment.
When the system was not returned, vigilante proposals by various students and administrators to simply go to get it were discouraged by Krasnow and UM Security Chief Fred Doerner. Doerner pointed out that such removal just before the concert might result in a riot.
“All I could see when I looked at the rental contract was the possibility of something being stolen or damaged or someone being hurt and no one being legally responsible for it,” Sheeder said.
Sheeder explained that the contract for the rental of the system, which was drawn up by Magic City Productions and signed by Ellerin, would not have been acceptable to either himself or to Vice-president for Financial Affairs Eugene Cohen, whose signature was required to validate the agreement.
Among other things, the contract refers only to “UM” rather than the “University of Miami,” and does not make mention to responsibility for loss or damage to equipment, Sheeder pointed out. Also, the check for $1,310
