Delta Gamma pledge Cherry Dennison braved Tuesday afternoon's deluge to supervise practice for the fraternity team which she will coach for tomorrow afternoon's Delta Gamma Anchor Splash.
Five crates of oranges will splash into the Student Union Pool tomorrow afternoon, Saturday, Feb. 26, as part of the First Annual Delta Gamma Anchor Splash.
The newest all-Greek Competition at the Anchor Splash will pit the members of 14 of UM’s fraternities against each other in a series of aquatic events, and will begin at 1:30 pm.
In addition to the get-the-oranges out-of-the-pool contest, in which swimmers, encumbered in some way, will dive for oranges, an original bathing suit contest and an inner tube race will mark the comedy schedule for the afternoon.
Regular aquatic competition will include a medley relay, and 100 yard butterfly, backstroke and free style races.
“The main purpose behind the Anchor Splash," explained chairman Maureen Slater, “is to center student activity around the Union, and at the same time to promote better relations between the members of the fraternity and sorority members at the University.”
“I feel that this event will make a fine annual addition to Second Semester activities at UM,” said Undergraduate Student Government President Tom Spencer. “I would like to congratulate Delta Gamma for initiating this program.”
Following the speech by Dr. Ralphe Bunche, Wednesday, the Peace Corps held an open forum with students and faculty.
Dean H. Franklin Williams act-e as moderator of the panel. Dr. James T e d e s k i and Dr. Jack Painter of UM acted as “Devil’s advocates.” They discussed the issues with Gloria Clark, Ted Luker, and Mark Francis of the Peace Corps.
After the formal discussion, the forum was opened for a question and answer session.
UM has displayed a fantastic interest in this Peace Corps Week, with over ISO students having signed up to take the Peace Corps Test. The members of the team feel that this visit to UM may break records as to the response from students on a single campus.
The Peace Corps operations on campus are located in the Student Union Breezeway and in S223 on the second floor of the Student Union. The operation is being headed by Mr. Fred Madison who replaced Jim Adams (cal led back to Washington).
Mr. Madison stated that he was very glad to hear the questions from UM students at the Peace Corps booth. “They are not the usual, technical things, they have shown that the students want to do more than just scratch the surface about the Peace Corps.
Stahl To Handle Jr. Week Despite Prexy Resignation

SWIMMERS SHAVE
The Junior Class of UM has already received pledges and checks amounting to $1,000 for the First Annual UM Junior Week, Junior Week Chairman Stan Stahl announced to the USG Council on Monday afternoon.
Stahl, who resigned his position as president of the Junior Class and member of the Undergraduate Student Government Council for academic reasons, submitted his first report to the Council on Monday.
The $1,000 will serve as collateral for $25,000 in loan funds for UM students which will be made available by the United Students Aid Fund. USAF will match the amount of money raised by the Junior Class 25 to 1, and the funds may be drawn upon by UM students, Stahl explained to the Council.
Nat Bruce will be sworn in Monday as the new Junior Class president, replacing Stan Stahl. He was the vice president, and the Junior Class Constitution states that in such an event the vice president moves to the president’s position and a new vice president is chosen.
Steve McHenry, and Donna Abarms were sworn in as representatives of Men’s Residence Halls Association and Vice president and representative of the Freshman Clas respectively.
The Council voted down 6-5 a resolution which would impose a $200 fine on those organizations whose Council representative fails to attend two meet-
ings in succession. Following the vote, USG President Tom Spencer, expressed his concern at the lack of representation of the University's Inter-Religious Council, which has not sent a representative to the Council for several months. IRC, Associated Women Students, MRHA and Inter-fratemity Council are all guaranteed seats and voting power in the Council.
High point of the meeting was the introduction of a proposed ammendment to the USG Constitution currently in effect which would provide for USG elections to be held the week following the Easter holiday. Spencer pointed out that his proposed ammendment would allow candidates the necessary time to acquire needed campaign materials and prepare programs during the Holiday. Under Spencer’s proposed ammendment the candidates for office would still qualify to run before the Easter holiday, and campaigning would begin on the first day of classes after the holiday.

Shaved and still in top condition are Richi Taylor, Tom Wheeler, Bill Brenza, and Mike Larson.
These UM swimmers went anti-Beatle for last weekend's meet.
Manager of the UM Swimming Team, Charley Clark, felt that this effort on the boys’ part would add additional speed and would help the boys get “Psyched-up” for the meet.
Dr. William R. Butler. Vice President for Student Affairs, made the announcement of the results of the investigation and hearings concerning the examination irregularities Thursday afternoon. This annourement came at the conclusion of the honor council hearings and after the last student appeal W'as heard.
Of the 13 involved, two students have been expelled, nine suspended for periods ranging from one semester to one calender year, and disciplinary probation sentences for periods from one year to the balance of their college careers against 40 students. Two students were given a disciplinary warning.

Those students given disciplinary probation are subject to immediate suspension should they be involved in any future incidents of misconduct Those students being expelled and suspended will have the action recorded on their permanent record.
Every one of the 53 student» who used the final examination as a study aid received a disciplinary “E,” or failing grade, in the course. This will be recorded on the student’s permanent transcript in the Registrar’s Office.

^International Scene Not Cheerful”
Dr. Ralph Bunche, a man who has played a primary role in the peace keeping operations of the United Nations, told an overflow audience on Wednesday evening that, “the International Scene offers little to be cheerful about.”
Speaking on the role of the United Nations, Bunche, the sixth speaker in the current Unter-graduate Student Government
Lecture Series, cited the Viet Nam War, “a war which the United States did not wish to get in to, and does not seek to get anything out of,” the Pakistan-India despute over Kasmir, troubles in South Rhodesia as exam-’ pies of the continuing problems which “pose constant and increasing threats to world peace.”
“The peace keeping operations of the United Nations are now
in definite jeopardy,” .said Bunche, pointing to the refusal of some UN member nations to support peace keeping operations around the world.
The result of the dispute over peace keeping operations and their support will have a direct bearing on the future of the United Nations and the position it will take in the world.
Slave Market To Visit Patio
The Student Union Patio of the University of Miami will be turned into a contemporary collegiate slave market on Friday, March 18, during the prime money raising event of the First Annual Junior Week.
“Because of the difficulty which a student encounters in obtaining scholarships and loans once he has enrolled in the Uni-iversity, we have decided to initiate a scholarship loan fund for upper division students only,” explained Junior Week Chairman Stan Stahl.
The money which will he raised through the variety of events planned for the week of March 14-18 wil be deposited with the United Student Aid Fund as collateral of loans to upper division UM students. The USAF will match the funds provided through Junior Week proceeds 25-1.
Among the events which are currently being planned for the week will be: a diving exhibition. Junior Week Fashion Show; USG Junior Week Lecture; and a Junior Week Talent Fiasco in which well known members of the Student Body, faculty and administration of the University will perform their own special “ineptitudes.”
Caldwell Set For Tuesday
Erskin Caldwell, author of the infamous “God’s Little Acre,” will speak at the University of Miami next Tuesday evening in the seventh in the current series of Undergraduate Student Government Lectures.
