Miami Hurricane, September 15, 1967

USG President Dennis Richard will introduce Mr.
Feiffer, who will be speaking in the Ibis room of the Student Union Cafeteria, at 8:00 P.M. on Sunday, September 17. His syndicated cartoons appear In hundreds of newspapers, and he is a feature
writer for Playboy magazine.
Feiffer's friendly appearance is contrasted by the sharpness of his criticism. His cartoons generally portray a middle class character going through some well-known
social or psychological trauma. His favorite subjects are what he views as hypocrisy, which takes in much of twentieth century society.
Feiffer's first position was with the Village Voice, a

circuit. In addition to their careers as vocalists two of Hie group, Dave Libert and Boh Miranda, have written songs for other popular groups. Miranda was the writer of "Girl on a Swing”

Administration Optimistic
Dorm Completion Expected Soon
By GEORGE GEI.B Hurricane Stall Writer
Within the realm of room and board, two problems arose this week. One still exists today, the incompletion of the new 960 co - educational dorms.
The other problem, now' defunct, was another building project that was not finished. This was a cafeteria that ofiened two day's late located near the 960 dorm.
The unfinished co-educa-tional dorm is currently an inconvenience to 200 young men who have been relocated into apartments on campus. These 200 men will be percolated hack into the new dorms within the next two weeks when the top five floors of the north tower are finished.
James M. Grimm, Director of Housing, stated that thp dorms were not completed because of a shortage of built-in furniture. The furniture not ready was the cabinet work.
The administration’s reaction to the housing problem was optimistic. Mr. William McLaughlin, Business Manager of UM, was overtly’ and sincerely happy that so much of the new dorm had been completed by September. He stated that a strike or a hurricane could have postponed the opening of the dorm altogether.
McLaughlin had inexorable praise for all the men involved in the joh of creating the new dorm. Much men include: Charles Cottcrman, Staff Architect; Matt Borek, Director of Physical Plant; Mr. Rotiert Hynes, Dean of
Men; Iir. May Brunson. Dean of Women; and Mr. Morris Burk, the head of the building firm contracted for the building jolt.
A big question mark now remaining is whether UM will take legal action against any one party res|tonsible for the inconvenience to 200 young men.
The answer is probably no. Mr. McLaughlin stated that the Burk Building Corporation met their contract without delay. The only other possibility is litigation against the furniture company which is unlikely.
Another question is whether the university has, or will lose any money concerning not living up to its contract. The answer is most likely no. The University has lived up to its contract concerning room and board.

There are a few direct methods by which students can obtain action on important matters which require contact with the administration. The Student Government is one of those methods. It is absolutely essential that you, the students, do not hesitate to contact USG. We will endeavor to work with you.
The responsibility of student government goes iiiunti further than a means of contact with the administration. As representatives of the students It Is also the obligation of government to take action to improve campus life.
