MAR 3 0 1971 tY%i ,000 Taken In —Photo by TOM GURA This Clunker Gets The Treatment From Carnival-Goer . . . just one among many fun activities By LINDA WALLNER Of The Hurricane Staff Cami Gras ’71 ended this weekend, grossing nearly $19,000 the largest sum in the carnival’s history. Lambda Chi Alpha Fraternity took overall honors taking in almost $2,400 from 18 booths. Approximately 40 per cent of the proceeds will go into the Paul R. Yarch Fund which is used for developing campus student facilities. The entire 730 Dorm recreation area was constructed using this money. Trophies were awarded to organizations making the most money in either upper or lower divisions; upper division organizations had one or more booths and lower division organizations had only one booth. 18-Year-Old Voters By KAREN KAGAN Of The Hurricane Staff Recent action by Robert Shevin, Florida attorney general, has opened voting registration to eligible 18-year-olds in Dade County. An 18-year-old is eligible to register if he is a U.S. citizen who is a permanent resident of Florida with proof of six months residence in Dade County and one year residence in Florida. Age may be established by a selective service card or a birth certificate. A 1970 opinion by the then Florida Attorney General Earl Faircloth, said a student away at college in Florida may register in the county in which he attends school if his plans for future residence are uncertain and he considers that county his present home and has no intention of returning to his parent’s residence elsewhere. Any student living with his parents, who are registered voters, need only give their names to establish residence requirements. If the student does not live with his parents, or they are not registered voters, he should bring statements from school authorities (available from UM Dean of Men or Dean of Women) saying he has attended school in Florida for one year and in Dade County for six months. Miami Beach attorney Harvery Ruvin is presently leading a drive to get Dade cities to allow 18-year-olds to vote in city elections as well as federal elections, for which registration is now permitted. Students away at school in Dade who are uncertain as to their future residence should realize that it is far more difficult to obtain absentee ballots and vote from their parent’s home address than it is to vote from their Dade residence. The Dade County Elections Divisions is located at 1351 NW 12 Street in the Metro Justice Building, Room 147, Phone 377-7501. It is open 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. Monday through Friday. For convenience, beginning April 5 and continuing through April 16, several other registration centers will be open 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. besides the Justice Building Main Office. These locations include Coral Gables City Hall, 401 Biltmore Way; West Miami City Hall, 901 SW 62 Avenue; Miami Beach City Hall, 1130 Washington Avenue; North Miami City Hall, 776 NE 125 Street and North Miami Beach City Hall, 17001 NE 19 Avenue. North of Flagler Street other centers will be Miami-Dade Junior College North, Scott Hall, 11380 NW 27 Avenue; Liberty City Community Center, 6306 NW 14 Avenue; St. John’s Baptist Church, Johnson Hall, 1328 NW 3 Avenue and Florida Atlantic University, 1414 Drexel Avenue, Miami Beach. Offices South of Flagler Street include Dadeland Food Fair, Dadeland Mall; Cutler Ridge Food Fair, 10880 Carribean Boulevard; Miami-Dade Junior College South, 11011 SW 104 Street, Usina Hall of Science Concourse (closed April 9 and 12) and Food Fair Store, 9875 Bird Road. Until April 5 and after April 16 there are six one-day-a-week centers open for all Dade residents in addition to the Justice Building Main Office. These locations are: South Miami City Hall, 6130 Sunset Drive, Monday only; Hialeah City Hall, 501 Palm Avenue, Tuesday only; Miami Beach City Hall, 1330 Washington Avenue, Wednesday only; North Miami City Hall, 776 NE 125 Street, Thursday only; Coral Gables City Hall, 401 Biltmore Way and North Miami Beach City Hall. 17-11 NE 19 Avenue, Friday only. The Homestead City Hall office is open every weekday 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. Three centers will only register residents of one city. These locations, open Monday to Friday, 9 a.m. to 5 p.m., before April 3 and after April 16, are Miami Springs City Hall, Miami Springs residents only; West Miami City Hall, West Miami residents only and Miami Shores City Hall, Miami Shores residents only. Steve Rubinstein, president of Youth for Effective Government, has offered to serve as an interim information center until a fulltime registration drive center is established in Dade County. Students who have questions which cannot be answered by calling the Elections Division at 377-7501, or who are denied registration, may call him evenings at 665-1284. Bus transportation is available to many of the registration centers. For information, call Metro Transit Authority at 633-9881 or Coral Gables Municipal System at 446-2661. Chi Omega placed first in the upper sorority division. Lower division sorority awards went to Sigma Delta Tau and Delta Phi Epsilon. In the dormitory upper division, first place award went to Tylor House grossing $471.40 for three nights. Lower division first place award went to Hoover House. Hoover sold more than 2,000 chocolate covered bananas grossing $427.00. Ice cream cones put Hayes House in second place for the dormitory lower division. TKE, with $664.35 and ZBT with $527.10, were award winners in the upper fraternity division. In the lower fraternity division, trophies were given to ATO grossing $528.85 from their egg throwing booth and AEPI totaling $382.90. For the second year in a row, Delta Sigma Pi placed first in the lower division Independent group, earning more than $1,179.90 for selling pizza. Upper division awards in this catagory went to Alpha Phi Omega with $635.65 and Circle K was $512.95. The married women student’s sorority, Phi Lambda Pi’s Petal Parlor won first prize for the best looking booth. The sky diver, a 98 foot ferris wheel was the most popular ride at Carni Gras. The pizza booth, ice cream booth, hot dog stand, ham-covered banana booth were the most popular food concessions. Freedom films was asked by the Carni Gras Committee to film the entire carnival, capturing such events as the Beltium waffle-tomato throw fight, the Railey House Jail and the walk on cushioned. “We tried a few new things and they all Worked out very well,” Rich Rudner, layout chairman said. “It was easier to move around, nicer looking, and there were fewer jumps as compared to last year.” According to Carni Gras Executive Committee, the carnival would have grossed over $20,000 had it not been for the cold weather Saturday night. —Photo By TOM GURA Only 25 Cents For Three Shots ... at Carni Gras tomato gallery GSA Studies Budget UM departmental budget cuts may affect the renewal of the assistantship positions of many graduate students.

Genius’ Lee Lincoln: Coral Gables’ Mayoral Candidate By ELIZABETH OSTROFF Hurricane News Editor Dr. Lee Lincoln is not only Coral Gables’ most unusual mayoral candidate, but also one of the City Beautiful’s numerous cats in a former most unusual citizens. speakeasy, former restau- rant, and former fraternity Lincoln lives with his fos- house near campus, ter son, his seven dogs and The 65-year-old Lincoln r V »**’ ' 111 ii * US ¡im -Photo by MELANI VAN PETTEN Dr. Lee Uncoln^HoIds travel, was upset when we visited him in his fantastic, warehouse-like home, as his Ecuadorian poodle Lucky (pronounced Louki) was recuperating from a car accident. Dr. Lincoln has frequently made headlines with his dogs, as he did on his around-the-world trips with a three legged poodle “Pawli,” who accompanied the world traveler everywhere — even on his drive from Africa to Helsinki, Finland. Lincoln, the son of Russian immigrant and philanthropist Joseph Socolof, also made headlines around the world as he has frequently been mistaken for Ernest Hemingway. Lincoln’s house bears witness to his travels. Everywhere in heaps and piles lay souvenirs of his travels — many precious and unusual are mixed in with paper-back books and household items. A sergeant in World War II, Lincoln took advantage of the GI Bill. He had earned a degree from NYU in the 20’s and after the war came to UM where he eventually earned his Doctor of Law. But Lincoln will be the first to admit that his fortune was not made through law. “Hell, I’ve got no talent for law,” he said. “Anyway, I didn’t want to be tied down to a job.” Lincoln’s fortune (it’s anybody’s guess, how large it is) came from several sources. His father left him 25 lots around Coral Gables and he was very successful in the chance investment of stocks. Lincoln has frequently clashed with the Coral Gables zoning commission over his desire to re-zone these lots for apartments. In 1963 Lincoln tried to buy the university’s old San Sebastian Hall which he wanted to turn into a rehabilitation center for the deaf. Lincoln also wanted to turn the structure into the Republic of San Sebastian, a sovereign state with it’s own diplomatic relations.' When Miami Commissioner Maurice Ferre won a Mercedes Benz in a raffle that was to be used for VIP’s, Lincoln offered to pay all operational expenses plus a chauffeur’s salary with the provision that when he died, his ashes would be on display in an urn in the vehicle. In addition he asked that once a month the car and his ashes be parked in front of the Metro tax assessor’s office while funeral music would be played. For those who think he’s crazy Lincoln says, “I’m always doing things they want to do; I know what I’m doing — the things I wanted to do when I was growing up.” Lincoln used to have six cars, but when the fact was publicized, he got so many letters asking why he needed six cars, he gave them away. Now he has a VW van and two smaller VW’s. “If I’m elected, the public has promised me a solid gold Cadillac purchased from trading stamps,” Lincoln said. Many of Lincoln’s future plans center around the university. He claims to have “the UM widows and orphans” in his will, and is investigating the possibility of purifying the water in Lake Osceola. “Somebody gave me a glass of Lake Osceola water to drink,” Lincoln quipped, “I said, ‘If that’s so it’s probáis bly the original Fountain of Youth and I’ll undertake to have it purified’.” On his more serious side, Lincoln is a benefactor for the handicapped, particularly the deaf. He has set up the Hi-De-Ho Foundation — or Hospitality International Deaf Everywhere House, Inc. Currently he is trying to purchase the landmark Biltmore Motel with the idea of converting it into a cultural center for the handicapped. In addition, a Town Hall meeting for the handicapped, but particularly the deaf, has been set up for tonight at Coral Gables High School. Candidates for Coral Gables Mayor and the Commission will be present, in addition to a special court reporter for the deaf. Lincoln’s trademark is a $1000 bill folded to serve as a ring. Eccentric? Lincoln doesn’t feel he is. “I’m a genius whose ability and thinking power is far above the average.” Any interested persons who would like to know more about Dr. Lee Lincoln and his candidacy can reach him at 667-2285. —Photo by MELANI VAN PETTEN Lee Lincoln Wears Trademarks ... rings reportedly worth $1100 *
