Miami Hurricane, September 25, 1970

              ¡JM Drug Gets Underway
By ALICE HENNE
Of The Hurricane Staff
The first session of a three part drug series met Tuesday night in the 1968 Complex Auditorium, featuring Director of Miami’s Methadone Clinic, Dr. Ben Sheppard. Other speakers were Dr. Malcolm Kahn, psychologist, and John Beslow, UM student.
The speakers commented and answered questions from about 100 students, covering LSD, marijuana, Dr. Sheppard’s Methadone Clinic and possibilities of a drug clinic on campus.
Dr. Kahn described the difference between “personality traits of users and non-users” according to studies made over the past few years.
He said the LSD user is anxious, paranoid and has less self-esteem. “They tend to be brighter, more creative and more isolated,” he said. “The user of other drugs is pessimistic, private, non-conforming and generally talented.
“If a student was not alienated before using a drug ... he automatically isolates a significant part of his subjective personality to people who are square, including his parents and family. This is the greatest problem,” Kahn said.
Dr. Sheppard briefly explained his Methadone Clinic which he started in Miami several years ago.
The clinic is an available recovery station where the addict can “substitute a $1,000 a week habit with a $10 a week habit.”
Through clinical treatment “the sniff, drink, urinate cycle is eliminated. The patient is perfectly comfortable, can hold a responsible job and his ego is restored,” Dr. Sheppard said.
Some of the questions asked by the students and answered by either Dr. Sheppard or Dr. Kahn were as follows:
•	I’ve heard that LSD doesn’t actually destroy the chromosomes of the user. What’s right?
This is very untrue. In an experiment with 50 girls and 50 boys, an autopsy showed that about 6 out of a thousand users get abnormalities.
•	Is there any way to correct chemical defects once they are present?
No, once they’re wrecked, they’re wrecked. The user may take 600 trips and never harm his make-up of chromosomes then the next time it can ruin them.

Krasnow said there will be from 10 to 20 advisors involved.
The program will operate on a weekly basis with academic counseling sessions set up for general studies and more specific areas of study as the year progresses.
The academic advisor corps will schedule meeting at every residence area on campus.
Krasnow said USG is looking for people interested in helping coordinate the program.
USG is also planning to work closely with the UM Ombudsman Program, now in its second year, which is designed to resolve stude it grievances.
The program will operate with a student ombudsman and several administrative ombudsman from the different academic areas of the university.
According to Krasnow the student ombudsman will direct students with grievances to the proper administrator to handle their problems.
“If a person who gets a C in biology thinks he deserves a B, the ombudsman will tell the student where to lodge his complaint . . . whether to go to the Dean of Arts and Sciences, the vice president for academic affairs or the chairman of the Biology Department,” Krasnow said.
USG will start several projects once council convenes on Monday.
At Monday’s session USG officials will present council with a progress report of summer activities and will submit their budget for council’s approval.
Monday’s session will also involve the appointment of USG standing committees and the ratification of several cabinet appointments.

In that capacity he developed and directed the City of Miami Community Affairs Office, initiated the Opportunities Industrialization Center and developed a Police and Community Interaction Program which has been funded in the Model Cities budget for 1970.
Zodiac ’70 is to create house unity and spirit.
Miss Handler said since the individual houses have to participate as a house, Zodiac ’70 will give the residents greater house identity.
The week will begin tonight with a special menu in all board plan cafeterias designed as a “monotony breaker.”
Tomorrow there will be a scavenger hunt centered on an environmental theme of ‘‘Clean Up the Campus.” The hunt will be conducted from 1 to 5 p.m. throughout campus.
Saturday night will feature a dance marathon on the Union Patio starting at 7 with record albums awarded as prizes.
Tuesday night, Sept. 29, there will be a snowball fight with three tons of snow at the 960-1968 complexes.
A tug of war, a tricycle race, a slave sale, a balloon throw, a VW stuffing contest, pie eating contest, and a “torture the Administrator” event will take place Sept. 30 thru Oct. 1.
In addition to the various events and contests, booths will be set up in the residence areas inside tents in a mini-Carni Gras fashion.
The tents will be at Maho-ney-Pearson Hall complex on Tuesday Sept. 29, behind 960 dorm and on Wednesday and next to Apartment 35 on Thursday.
“The reason we are moving it all over campus this year is to include more resident students,” Miss Handler said.
On Saturday, Oct. 3, trophies will be given to the houses participating in Zodiac ’70 earning the most points.
Anyone with questions may contact Tony Passarello at Ext. 3688.
Emphasizes Communication
Year’s 1st Retreat Set For Oct. 2-4
Guidance
Evicts
Resident
By MELANI VAN PETTEN
Of The Hurricane Staff
The decision of the UM Guidance Center that a coed who took an overdose of drugs this summer session must leave the residence halls has remained unchanged.
The girl’s eviction from the residence halls was held up in hopes that the introduction of new evidence would alter the decision.
The reason given for the decision is that the girl, who requests that her name be withheld, is unable to cope with group-living conditions of a dormitory.
After being informed of the Guidance Center’s verdict by Acting Dean of Women Louise Mills, the student appealed the matter to Dr. Eugene Flipse, Director of the Health Center, in the absence of Dr. Jess Spirer, Director of the Guidance Center.
Dr. Flipse told her that if an off-campus psychiatrist of his choice agreed that she would be able to cope with the situation, she could remain on campus.
Although the off-campus doctor recommended that the girl be allowed to live in the dorms, the Guidance Center refused to change its decision.
Dr. Flipse, when interviewed, said he bowed out of the matter at the request of the Guidance Center.
“I was unhappy about it,” the girl said. “I’m angry because if they can do this to me, then they can do it to anyone.”
“I feel sad for the girl,” USG Acting Attorney General Rick Reichelt, who worked with the Students’ Rights Commission on the case, said. “It’s too bad that she had to be a guinea pig in a jurisdiction dispute.
“I feel that the administration should let the student know immediately what channels his problem will be handled through. This will expedite the solution and not befuddle the student,” he said.
“The new Students’ Rights Commission with the combined efforts of the representative organizations is created for the sole purpose of insuring that the communication channels of the students cannot be interrupted anymore; that the administration won’t be able to do what they did to this girl to any other students,” Reichelt said.

Men’s Lih Organized To Fight Girl Forces
Conceived To Span Full Year
By WALT DOZIER
Hurricane Reporter
UM’s annual retreat program will get a head start this year with the first meeting planned for Oct. 2-4 at Key Colony Beach, 90 miles south of Miami.
Retreat VI Committee Chairman Rick Strul said the program, sponsored by Undergraduate Student Government and the UM administration, will emphasize better communications between faculty, administration and students on a person-to-person rather than a title-to-title basis.
Strul also said the retreat will involve the community and the UM Board of Trustees.
“We plan to invite the Student Affairs Committee of the Board of Trustees and members of the Coral Gables City Commission in a further effort to set up a framework for communications,” he said.
Retreat activities at the Key Colony Beach Motel will include general discussion groups, beach and poolside gatherings, and a fishing and diving trip for interested per-

Four desperate men in Los Angeles have formed a corporation called Men’s Lib Inc., to combat the growing forces of the Women’s Lib Movement.
“Men tried to be tolerant when women insisted on sharing the pants in the family and when they invaded the once sacrosanct pool halls which they renamed parlors,” the founding foursome explain.
It is not only for themselves that the foursome are putting forth this last-ditch effort to rally American manhood to fight for equal rights for men — it is for their sons.
They make it clear that their quarrel is not with the “sweet, feminine” kind of women they have always cherished and appreciated. They are declaring battle with the militant women who are using the Women’s Lib Movement as a weapon for their “own psychological vendettas.”
The Men’s Lib Movement
is gaining momentum, the four assert. “We had no idea there were so many men who feel just as we do,” they said, “but it gives us a good feeling to know we are not standing out there all alone battling those females.
“Women buy most of our clothes, choose most of our friends and tell us where we can smoke our cigars, but we haven’t minded because we have enjoyed protecting, cherishing and pampering them.
“But now according to the Women’s Lib groups we find they look upon us as rapists, thieves and slave drivers. It’s about time someone put the record straight.”
Many wifes are encouraging their husbands to join, they said.
Men’s Lib Inc. at 6820 La Tijera Boulevard in Los Angeles offers a package containing a bumper sticker, an identification card, a certificate suitable for framing and a Men’s Bill of Rights, for $2.00.
No doubt about it. The inevitable has happened.
“The most important aspect of this retreat,” Strul said, “will be to encourage the new concept of a continuing retreat throughout the year.” He added that continued monthly meetings between faculty, administrators, and students will encourage these groups to get to know each other on a more informal level.
Using a hypothetical situation, Strul explained how the continuing retreat program could be significant in the future. “If for example, the administration was faced with a large demonstration and if administrators knew none of the demonstrators, they would be less inclined to talk than if they knew some of those demonstrators personally.”
“In planning this early retreat,” committeeman Tim Czerniec said, “we hope to draw a heterogeneous core of people with differing viewpoints. And by continuing with the monthly meetings, we hope to draw a larger group of people willing to participate in the future.”
Persons interested in attending the Oct. 2 Retreat can obtain applications at the information desk in the Student Union.
A $35 charge will cover room and board for the weekend.
