After a meeting in the Flamingo Ballroom Ust Tuesday, approximately 300 students marched on the 730 East Cafeteria in a protest over the service and food provided by ARA Slater Food Service.
Filing out of the meeting, they chose to have an
“Eat-in” at the 730 East cafeteria because the doors fo the Student Union cafe-t e r i a were reportedly locked. Converging on the cafeteria. they surprised other students dining there and immediately began their protest.
Students passed through
the serving lines repeatedly, taking portions which were destined to be consumed or thrown out after being dumped on trays. Trays piled with desserts, vegetables, milk, and steak were tossed on conveyer belts; a core group of about 30 students continued to throw
food away as fast as they could get through the serving lines while others argued with student members of the rvsiden’ hall dining committee.
The protest continued until closing time at 7:00

The Homecoming pop rally Tuesday night was full of little surprises. UIVI President Henry King Stanford made his appearance in full mod gear — bought “last summer while I was on Carnaby Street . . .” Highlight of the evening was the coronation of Miss Irene Bangstrup as 1967 Homecoming Queen. Miss Bangstrup will be attended by Susan Kross, freshman; Gwen Quinney, sophomore; Mary Alice Goetz, junior; and Sue Berman, senior.
ets have been sold, thus enabling 1,830 people to attend the affair.
Many people on campus will not attend the dance this ^ear because only a certain amount of tickets were available. The available tickets were quickly purchased by fraternities and organizations on a first-come-first-served basis. Most crucially hurt by the lack of tickets were the non-fraternity and non-organization men.
Of the approximately 915 date tickets sold, 730 were bought by fraternities and 185 by independent organizations and a few independents not in organizations.
The independent purchasers were: The Dirty Dozen, an intramural group buying 30 tickets; MRHA buying
5; the Colombian Club bought 10; and the Ski Club bought 10.
Before .the ticket sale began, there was very little publicity stating when tickets would go on sale. The Miami Hurricane did not carry any announcements; and, in fact, the only way students were notified of the ticket sale was through posters distributed on campus.
Students could also learn about the purchasing date through the mouths of the homecoming committee members themselves including Russ Ehasz, over all homecoming chairman; parade chairman Art Simon; Mike Tryson, in charge of house decorations; Pete Meyer, in charge of publicity; Lois Smith, Queens Chairman; Thad Koch, in
charge of posters; and Hank Klein, in charge of special events. Four of t h e above belong to fraternities, one belongs to a sorority, and two are independent.
In previous years there was never as great a demand for tickets as this year. Dr. Thurston Adams, Director of Student Activities, said that in earlier years auditoriums were' used in order that more people could attend the affair, but people did not like the auditorium idea and did not come to the dance. The dance was then moved to a hotel to have better attendance. At the hotels, the attendance must be limited for safety reasons stipulated by the Miami Beach Fire Department.
Many students are disgruntled about the bloc concept of buying tickets that was in effect this
year. Art Simon, parade chairman, stated that the fraternities and organizations sit together to maintain order. He added that without this order, people at the dance would be fighting and looking for seats all night. Thus, the bloc concept is necessary.
Simon stated that he was sorry that everyone who had desired to attend the dance could not do so. He felt that the organizations that do the most work should have seats, and that those organizations should sit together,
Simon urged all students who are disgruntled about the lack of available tickets to vote for a referendum giving more money toward the homecoming dance. With this money, more space could be provided for next year.
OB Seat Assignment Distribution To Start
The Campus Ticket Office, located in the Union Breezeway, will begin distributing seat assignment stubs for the Notre Dame game at 9:30 a m. Monday to UM students upon presentation of their ID cards.
These seats are reserved on a first-come-first-served basis, with the limit of four tickets per student.
There will be 8,000 stubs for students plus combinations of tickets as student stubs, date tickets and parent or date tickets, the latter amounting to 3,000 seats. Students may also obtain adjacent seat stubs with the purchase of a date ticket-
If a student takes a date, he must present her ID as well as his own to obtain the stub. If he intends to take a non-UM date, he must buy a date ticket.
If he is not yet sure, he should buy a date ticket, getting two seats together. Later, if he takes a UM girl, he must bring her ID to the ticket office, and his money will be refunded.
Parent tickets should still be available Monday morning for $6 each, in sections 23, 24, 25 and O and N. Students may, in addition, get date tickets along with parent tickets together.
The first 1,000 students should ask for seats in sections S, R, 27, 28 and the few remaining box seats.
Approximately 2,500 seats in a block are being held for fraternities in sections Q, P and O. When questioned on the quality of the seats in these sections, ticket manager Art Laskey said that “these seats are not necessarily better than those reserved for independents.”
The fraternities will engage in competition for the better seats in various contests among themselves.
Medical and law school students, through their leaders, will sit in the upper deck. They may obtain date tickets and ID cards at the law and medical schools.

College Paper Seminar Is ‘’Black Power" Hally
By ROBERT JEDNAK
Hurricane Atsitlent Newt Editor
ATLANTA — Representatives of 30 Southern university student newspapers met in Atlanta on November 3 for a three-day seminar supposedly on Negro higher education. The seminar was coordinated by the United States Student Press Association and financed by a grant from the Carnegie Corporation.
Dr. Vivian Henderson, the new president of Clark College, addressed the representatives at a Friday luncheon. His speech began with the original theme but quickly changed and gave an early indication of what the seminar was destined for. Said Henderson, “When the sit-in demonstrations began there was (sic) only two newspapers in the South with Negro staff reporters-” He pointed out the part he played to change this situation.
Henderson then turned to the college campus and said, “For many years most schools have been violating student s’ civil liberties. Problems should be dealt with by the administration on their merits. We must find ways and means by which students can in-f I u e n c e curriculum and policy. Student rights and ‘Black Poweri are what newspapers should work for.”
The afternoon was set aside for interviews with various people in Atlanta. At the headquarters of the Southern Christian Leadership Conference this reporter asked public relations man Ken Offenburger about a large picture of Che Guevara hanging on the wall. Offenburger stated that many members of SCLC admire Guevara and that he tries to please everyone.
Donald Bourgeois, Director of the St. Louis Model City Agency, addressed the seminar Friday evening. He discussed the Model City Program and explained how the people will be given money and they will improve their own area. “The pros have failed,” he said.
From the very start of the question-answer period there evolved a rowdy discussion about Black Power strewn throughout with “Amen.” A writer from the Atlanta Constitution disclosed that the original purpose of the seminar was a good one but that the situation was now different. Said one representative from the University of North Carolina at Charlotte of the evening’s events, “It was interesting. I wouldn’t have missed it for anything.”
Another discussion session was held with Nathan Wright, Jr., of New'ark, New Jersey. He served as the chairman of the 1967 National Conference on Black Power held in Newark. By this time m e m-bers of SNCC were selling copies of a book by Stoke-ly Carmichael and all talk was of Black Power.
Wright was queried as to “what is the best way to organize Negroes.” He answered: “We do not discuss this in the presence of white folks. We have a definite plan. We black folks are together.”
Wright said that violence and rebellion are the final answer. “The best way to suffer creatively is to see that a sufficient number of white folks die.” This was followed with another round of “Amens.”
