On May 25, Dr. William R. Butler, Vice President for Student Affairs denied approval for the Undergraduate Student Government to present The Young Rascals as one of the opening concerts in the fall.
The three reasons given for denial of the contract were that “$5,000 is an exhorbitant fee for any entertainment program. “The cost yould be one-third of the Entertainment budget for the coming year, and if rain should occur the students would be without benefit of a program.” On inquiry, Dr. Butler specified that he had no further comments at that time—other than those in his letter.
In an interview with Dennis
Butler
j A. Richard, President of the Undergraduate Student Government the feelings he voiced for many of the students he was elected to represent, were brought forth.
“The denial of the contract points up an important question of student responsibility. Dr. Butler was, in effect saying that the students had exercised poor judgment and had to be corrected.
Richard said he felt that this violated the principle of student responsibility on a university campus. In a letter to Dr. Butler, he stated:
“The Student Community voices its opinion strongly when warranted. If and when their representatives do not adequately accomplish the task that they have been charged

with, including the obtaining of good entertainment, it is they who will receive the blame form the students whom they represent. This is one of the most basic and cardinal rules of the sacred American election process. If the students' government chooses to emphasize even one major concert in an entire academic year, this is their right and responsibility.”
When asked about the price of the program it was pointed out that the concerts put on by the Administrations of Tom Spencer and Jim Fleming were comparable in costs to the ones for the coming year. The Serendipity Singers, Dave Brubeck, The Lettermen, Jay and the Americans, The Ramsey Lewis Trio,
and Dionne Warwick all cost close to 4,000 dollars including expenses. The Four Seasons were | signed and their contract was ap-j proved by the business office j last spring for 4,500 dollars.
The money that is designated : for entertainment was the result of a student referendum assessing themselves one dollar | apiece per semester to be used for entertainment by the Undergraduate Student Government. In his letter. President Richard commented on the referendum and its meaning.
“The obtaining of this entertainment is clearly and has always been an area of student responsibility.
In an effort to insure the technical legality of all entertainment
contracts procured by the students' government, the practice of sending all contracts through the business office began. This was for legal advice only, not for approval or denial of the entertainment.”
It was noted that cooperation with the Whitten Memorial Union Program Council would defer some of the expenses for future concerts thus lowering the amount of money Undergraduate Student Government would provide for total cost of one production. Last Spring the Program Council co-sponsored with Undergraduate Student Government both Steve Alaimo and Jay and the Americans, setting a precedent for further co-operation between the two groups.
In a memorandum to President

Undergraduate Student Government, made clear his stand on the
question. He felt the students wanted The Young Rascals to appear on the University of Miami Campus. "This one program is the one the students have expressed an overwhelming desire to see.” According to a recent poll, 70% of the students chose The Young Rascals as the group they wanted to see the most.
When the question of rain canceling a concert was asked. Secretary Dinnerstein stated, ‘The contract specifies that if the performers can be protected from the rain the show will continue. The roof over the stage does just that.” He also cited the Dionne Continued on Page Two

Army Invades Miami Campus
The lines of khaki brown seen on campus lately are composed of members of the U.S. Army Reserve Units of the 353rd Civil Affairs Area, New York, who are at Miami during their annual two-week active duty period.
Civil affairs units are participating in academic programs on about 30 American campuses this summer.
A source close to the university said the number of men involved might be over 700, but
the only facts the Army offered was that it was the largest group of reserve personnel in a single university undergoing simultaneous instruction.
The University of Miami was chosen as a site for this annual

'Sun-Hunters’
Although the UM army life officially ends June 30, their apparently is little relief in sight for the summer school student who yearns for the quiet days on a deserted campus.
The administrative zeal of a number of UM areas, particularly the Division of Continuing Education, will get one group after another parking in all summer.
Their only excuse is that the variety of short courses and institutes serve the university function of providing ‘community’ educational salaries of a number of the university familiar who might not have year round employment otherwise.

Whitten Memorial Student Union Presents Full Summer Program
By MICHAEL EATON
Hurricane Associate Editor
The summer program of the Whitten Memorial Student Union is in full swing with activities that include dances, band concerts, swimming and water shows, an all-day picnic, a folk concert and an extensive movie schedule.
The catch-phrase, according to Mason Niblack, associate director of the union, is “community center.” He contends that the student sees the union as a facility instead of a program.
“The student tends to view the union as a collection of separate entities grouped together like a shopping center instead of a unified, program-oriented community center.”
Instead of seeing the union as a bookstore, a swimming pool, a cafeteria and a patio, the student is invited to consider “its true community center objectives that are beginning to be realized in this summer session and will continue into the fall semester.” Niblack sums up the Whitten union philosophy by saying, “We are a program first, a unified facility second."
The movie schedule for the summer features well-known
films such as “The Cardinal,” “Requiem for a Heavyweight,” “Anatomy of a Murder." “Bridge on the River Kwai,” “Rebel Without a Cause,” “High Noon,” “Father Goose" and “The Guns of Navarone.” A time-table for the Thursday-night-7:30 p.m. movies can be obtained at the union information desk.
During the summer sessions students may swim free who have paid their activity fees, a privilege not enjoyed during the regular school year. On Tuesday and Thursdays the pool is open from 9 a.m. to 9 p.m. On Fridays and Saturdays, 9 am. to 10 p.m. and on Sundays from 11 a.m. to 9 p.m.
On July Fourth an “Old Fashioned Picnic’ will continue all afternoon in front of the Whitten Union, sponsored by the Union, the International Students and the Student Activities Office. The entire university family is invited to eat free hot dogs and ice cream and to hear a band concert. A roving barbershop quartet will endeavor to provide the finishing touch to the old fashioned atmosphere in front of the $3 million ultra-modem Union complex.
On the night of July 7th, Joe and Penny Aronson, a folk and comedy duo, will present a free concert in the Ibis Room of the Whitten Union. The duo is a nationally famous touring couple with a full show of folk music and satire.
For more music, students are invited to the Shnday afternoon band concerts at 3 pm. in the Ibis Room from July 16 through August 13. The band will be from the summer camp program of the Music school.
On Friday nights 8:30 until 11:30, dances on the union patio will host live bands such as “The Birdwatchers,” “The Showmen” and “The Spell Binders" for rock and roll and Fred Shannon Smith for the big band sound.
“It’s all free” says Niblack, who hopes that the students take advantage of the movies, concerts, swimming, and picnic. For a nominal price one can bowl or play billiards. And then ping-pong brings one back to the free category.
Lastly, the summer schedule reminds us of the “dining pleasure” and “delicious food” of the "Ibis Room,” known more intimately to the UM student as “Slater’s Food Service” stationed in the snack shop and cafeteria.
exercise because of its outstanding resources in library and faculty for basic studies of the Caribbean area, about which the 353rd is studying.
The institute program was arranged by Dr. Mose L. Harvey, director of the Center for Advanced International Studies. Dr. Virgil A. Shipley, associate professor of government, is directing the program.
The program is designed to assist Civil Affairs to understand the historical and cultural background of Caribbean nations. It is one of a continuig series of studies that Civil Afairs reservists make of various countries at various universities in the United States.
The reserve members wll leave June 30.

UM’s homecoming queen, Pam Clark participated in the National College Queen Contest in New York city June 7-17. The pageant was televised over NBC on the 16th at 10 p.m.
Pam, who won the title ofk Florida College Queen in competition with hundreds of applicants from the state’s colleges, represented Florida in the pageant which included 49 other coeds. After 10 days of exacting competition, Judy Hill from the University of Washington in Seattle, won the national title, which includes a 1968 sports convertible and a two-week trip to Europe.

Pam returns with an experience with the nation's college queens, a small nick on her finger to remind her to remain poised at all times an enthusiasm to begin next year’s Ibis.
York, the respective state queens were tested in forums on social topics and current events, written essays on campus life, cooking, safe-driving, photography, interior-decor-decorating, and dress designing. In addition, their academic record and service for the school were taken into consideration. Personality and poise were also important.
Pam accompanied the state queens to Broadway shows, the United Nations, a Robert Goulet show in Philadelphia, and Radio City Music Hall. They stayed at the Waldorf-Astoria Hotel.
Arriving with a 3.9 over-all average in honors studies plus an admirable service record including her forthcoming editorship of the '68 Ibis, Pam was a good bet to take the title. Why did she fail? Pam says, “The girls were all so extraordinary. They were personable, versatile and intelligent. I can’t be ashamed I lost.”
