First Woman Since ’34
Nabors Elected USG
THE old regime seats the new
Blosser Congratulates Nabors
By LEONARD TEEL
Kay Nabors, Arts and Sciences junior, Tuesday became the first woman in 27 years to be elected president of UM student government.
She edged out Jerry Levy (Arts and Sciences) by the 6 to 4 vote of the USG Council. The last woman president of student government was Aileen Booth, who served during the 1933-34 term.
Jerry Levy was elected vice-president, defeating Barbara Newman (Education), 7 to 3. Ted Klein (Business) pulled a 7 to 3 vote in winning USG treasurer over Lawrence Weiner (Business).
The election was postponed from April 19 to give Panhellenic and IFC time to appoint their representatives to the USG Council.
BEFORE each of the three elections, the candidates left the room while the
remaining council members voted sec-cretly. N. A. “Chink” Whitten, acting faculty adviser, called out the results.
After Miss Nabors was elected, Jim Blosser, former USG president, handed her the keys to the council room in recognition of her office. The new president then took charge of the meeting and immediately took “the opportunity to officially thank the old council for its cooperation.”
Earlier she had called for strengthening of the UM Honor Code.
Miss Nabors then called for nominations for vice-president and treasurer. There was no discussion of the candidates among the council, except for one voice in support of Levy.
The ballots, three by five note cards, will go into the permanent file of the Student Activities Office. The new USG Council will get under way officially when it meets Tuesday at 2 p.m.

VEEP JERRY LEVY REVIEWS ISSUES
Lost Presidential Bid
We Get ‘Taste’ Of New Union
As UM’s hew $1,500,000 Student Union draws closer and closer to reality, students had better sharpen their taste buds.
Next week, students will help-*
judge what kind of cooking will be done in the proposed new dining area.
Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday, students eating lunch in the cafeteria will be able to purchase either a special chicken or shrimp lunch for only 50 cents.
The two platters, which will include the main dish, french fried potatoes and probably a salad, will utilize a new cooking process—broasting—a cross between broiling and roasting.
The broasting technique is one of the latest cooking processes developed in America. There are soveral restaurants in Greater Miami which have just begun using the process.
“We will have persons stationed osar the broasting table in the Union cafeteria on these three days to take students’ comments,” said Eugene Cohen, UM vice President and treasurer.
“the ADMINISTRATION and oafeteria management need the rip of the student body in preparing for the new Union and for Jyyudents who will be using
the Union facilities on this campus.”
Meanwhile, news on UM’s application for a federal loan for construction of the new Union is promising, said Cohen.
“There are several bi-partisan bills pending before Congress now, and if they pass, the UM administration is confident that our application will be approved so that we can begin construction next school year,” said Cohen.
If so, the building will be fin-lished by the fall of 1962.
‘Pedagogs’ To Banquet
The School of Education will have its annual spring banquet Sunday at Toby’s Restaurant It’s sponsored by the Joint Education Council. Tickets are available at the School of Education office.
Mrs. Anna Brenner Meyers, a member of the Dade County Board of Public Instruction, will speak on “Today’s Challenge to Education.”
Students Can Help
Draft
Students who want to help form a “Students for Stevenson” movement are invited to attend a meeting Monday afternoon at 3:15 in the Student Union upper lounge.
Aim of the group, according to its acting chairman, law student Paul Siegel, will be to circulate petitions on and about the campus urging a “draft” of the two-time Presidential candidate at the November Democratic convention.
The first university group of its kind, “Students for Stevenson” will be working with a national Stevenson draft movement, which is out for 5 million signatures, to be presented at the November convention.
“Though this group is called ‘Students for Stevenson,’ faculty and administrations members will be more than welcome to participate,” said Siegel.
“As we see it, there is only one man in the country today with enough foresighted intelligence, knowledge and courage to assume the office of President of the United States. That man is Adlai E. Stevenson.”

A last-minute radiogram saved UM President Jay F. W-Pearson from flying head-on into ^ eruption of civil disorders riotings against the South I Korean government last week.
ft . Br. and Mrs. Pearson were ' mvited to Kyung Hee Univer-Slty in Seoul to take part in a I y^PriJcal study program be-I ^n the two schools.

Nevertheless, Dr. Pearson took off from Miami April 19 on a TWA jet to San Francisco.
He landed in the airport and was set to leave for Honolulu when he received an emergency radiogram forwarded from Kyung Hee President Young Seek Choue. He warned Dr. Pearson to postpone the visit.
THE RADIOGRAM was sent to the University of Miami, and Mrs. Ruth Wert, executive secretary to Dr. Pearson, immediately relayed the message.

with the plaque in hand he was going to present Kyung Hee students.
The Public Information Office at the UM earlier sent the Kyung Hee University Symphony 52 copies of the Miami Alma Mater to greet Dr. Pearson. Korea’s students had been rehearsing the musie for weeks.
The Kyung Hee University Symphony is under the direction of John Kim, who visited the UM School of Music last month.
The trip is postponed indefinitely, according to the President’s office.
Choue made a special trip to the UM campus in 1959 to study operations and curriculum here. He invited Dr. Pearson to Kyung Hee in the spring of that year, but Dr. Pearson was unable to reciprocate the visit then.
“Naturally I am disappointed that we had to delay our visit to Kyung Hee University,” said Dr. Pearson.
“But I am glad that Mrs. Pearson and I were not in Seoul during the past several days.”

After LeRoy...
This issue pays special at-tion to next week’s gubernatorial race. The office of governor in a Southern state proves significant, especially if that state secedes from the Union.
