Some 44 booths are among the projects run by the 50 campus organizations. Lumber for booths was supplied for the sororities.
The carnival last night was termed “very successful,” by Ray Strauss, chairman.
“And we hope the large turnout—that’s solid student spirit —will be the same tonight,” he said.
“After all, the carnival atmosphere is simply school spirit —and part of the money collected at the booths will go to charity.”
Booth-building began Monday. Final approvals for booths were given last Friday at a steering committee meeting in the Upper Lounge of the Student Union.	—Fred Wiggins

Boycott
Bringing
Bunions
UM Medical School students voluntarily took a dose of their own medicine this week, resulting in “nice, long, healthy walks
to classes.”
Students refused to put a quarter in the new city parking meters, which went up over the weekend on Anastasia Avenue in front of the Medical School building. It is located at the Veterans’ Administration Hospital in Coral Gables.
MOST STUDENTS were boycotting the meters and parking several blocks away from their classes in protest.
“You don’t see parking meters on main campus,” was one Med student’s comment on the $1.25 a week addition.
Unfortunately for Coral Gables, the who-did-it meter case came one week after the $200 a year Med School tuition increase was announced by the University.
Here’s how the City of Coral Gables diagnosed the problem:
“This is not a money making deal; we didn’t spring it on the students. If the students are able to walk a block or block and a half they can find free spaces,” said Joe Martinan, assistant city manager.
“SOME TRAFFIC jams there were so bad that they were unbearable. We had a traffic expert study the problem and the only solution he found was parking meters,” he said.
“After all, we have to be concerned with the people who are paying the taxes in the city. We try to keep our city beautiful and we can’t do it without funds,” stated Martinan.
Want Exam Break? Cut Spring Vacation
By BERNIE WEINER Hurricane Managing Editor
This would divide four extra days for “breathers” between both semester exam sessions.
Want a “time break” between the end of classes and final exams? If so, you’ll have to give up part of your Easter vacation to get it.
This will be the choice confronting students when they visit Undergraduate Student Government voting booths, March 31-April 1.
THE USG Council voted Tuesday night to put the controversial topic to a campus vote during student elections—in two weeks.
If the vacation cut is approved by a majority of voting students, the proposal will be forwarded to the University Administration for final approval.
And if the Administration gives the plan its affirmative nod, the “exam breather” will probably go into effect for the first time during 1961-62.
(The final 1960-61 calendar has already been approved and distributed, according to UM Registrar E. M. McCracken.)
According to McCracken, the ideal plan—the one most distasteful to students—would be to cut four days off the present six class-day Easter vacation.
THIS WOULD leave UM students with a two
class-day Easter vacation, as many universities have—Good Friday and the following Monday, said McCracken.
“USG had received quite a number of student requests following last semester’s final exams to get a time-break between classes and exams,” said Jim Blosser, USG head.
“Students that complained to us felt quite strongly that a time-break between classes and finals is necessary.
“However, they did not know then they would have to give up part of their Easter vacation.
“And now the entire student body will decide if they want to cut their Spring recess/’
The suggestion was presented by students at a recent student-faculty-administration conference.
After hearing Registrar McCracken explain the administrative difficulties in initiating such a change, the USG Council decided to call a student referendum on the issue.

A Chinese Koo-ky Kaper
By SHEILA STEINBERG Hurricane News Editor
Lost: one brother.
Found: one brother.
The letter to the Hurricane from Taiwan (Formosa) read:
“I come to ask the favour of your doing something with this inquiry, as my efforts in searching for my brother ‘Dominic Koo’ have been fruitless.”
Koo is the UM graduate who appeared on the now-defunct “$64,000 Question.” He walked off with $16,000 with the category of “Americana.”
The letter-writer is his sister, a government employee in Taiwan, who tries to “keep in close contact with Dominic.”
AFTER hours of research, the Hurricane joined Taiwan and Miami by locating the missing brother. He works for the State Road Department in Miami.
family—and have already written telling her my new address.”
His speech broke off. “My parents Kve in Red China,” Koo said, “and I have lost contact with them in the last few years.
DOMINIC KOO
Not Really Lost
“Communication between this country and China are very poor.”
Koo — bathed by the national spotlight when he was on the $64,000 Question — graduated from the UM Law School in 1956. He was presiding officer of the Honor Court, graduating with honors.
Did he disappear like other quiz contestants?
“I have moved twice since December, and I guess the post office hasn’t been forwarding my mail,” Koo said.
“I was worried about her since she is my oldest sister. I try to keep in contact with my
Koo plans to assume a law career “as soon as I become a citizen. You can’t practice law here unless you are.”
Koo received his bachelor degree from Saint John’s University, in Minnesota, and his MA. from the University of Minnesota.
