"We wanna' go!”
The sound of the student demonstration rang from the Student Union patio.
They were protesting the Administrative Council's decision not to dismiss classes three days early. Thus many will not be able to attend the Liberty Bowl game in Philadelphia Dec. 16 against the 1959 collegiate champions. Syracuse University.
"Let My People Go” . . . “Give Us Liberty” . . . these were just a few of the posters displayed around campus.
Petitions were being circulated to dismiss classes Dec. 15. Stu Bloch, a leader of the “We want Liberty" committee, stated that 9,000 signatures is their goal.
The matter was brought up at the faculty council meeting. Herb Rosenfeld, Undergraduate Student Government chairman of academic affairs, addressed the meeting on behalf of the student body.
"Students would be glad to make up their classes on any date the faculty would name,” he said.
The faculty council issued the following closed statement:
“We express our sympathy to the student body. But the request
is inconsistent with the previous policy established by the faculty council and, therefore, the council feels that it should take no action.”
“We will not advise the administration on this matter one way or another," said Dr. Herman Meyers, president of the faculty council.
“Members of the council have been faced with matters of this sort in the past." Dr. Meyers added. Each knew how he would react under the circumstances."
More than 600 students gathered at the UM practice field Wednesday afternoon for a pep rally which they hoped would demonstrate their desire to go to the Liberty Bowl.
Coach Andy Gustafson asked the students to cheer for the game with the University of Florida Gators Dec. 2. “One game at a time," he said.
Bloch summed up the situation. “The cause for which we are fighting has generated a new and greater spirit on our campus. The cohesiveness which has developed will have lasting consequences."

STUDENTS WENT ON LIBERTY MARCH' WHEN DENIED CLASS DISMISSAL
. . . Bill Cornell, USC President, Disbursed Them With A Talk

New System
OK’d By USG
A motion to adopt a new Undergraduate Student Government constitution was passed Wednesday by a unanimous vote of the USG Council.
An additional acceptance is* needed before the constitution
will go through the board of review to UM President Jay F. W. Pearson for final approval.
The new constitution would allow political parties to form since there is no article in the present constitution to forbid party organization. There will be a strong elections board to screen candidates. No member of a party would be able to run unless fees are paid before the election.
An Editorial
Our Side—Empty
UM finally saw some spirit.
Students witnessed a mass demonstration Tuesday night when more than 200 aroused students marched from the Student Union to the main residence halls. Their cry was loud and indignant, ‘‘We want to go.”
They were protesting the fact that our team will go to Philadelphia alone to face Syracuse.
It is significant that this incident took place at the first major event of Spirit Week. Undergraduate Student Government designated a specific week for putting some pep on this campus. The wholehearted support this plan received from the administration indicates that the University is truly interested in igniting spirit.
Unfortunately, while the administration is building up spirit in one phase of campus life, they put a pin in the only big spirit balloon we have.
Any member of the administration who attended some of our home games must see that games were not merely well-attended. The stands were literally filled even in adverse weather. This is spirit.
This is the first time the University has taken a Bowl bid since they played in the Gator Bowl in 1952. The student body is keyed up for the game and the spirit that would be generated would make the Penn State and Northwestern huzzas sound like a tea party. This is the purpose of Spirit Week.
The extra push that our team gets from the stands is good for both the team and the students. It could mean the difference between a Cane victory and defeat; between a spirited campus and an angry one.
Too bad the Miami side will be empty in the Liberty Bowl.
Kline berg Scheduled As Next UC Speaker
By BERT KELLY
Dr. Otto Klinebcrg, chairman I of the social psychology department at Columbia University, will give the Miriam and Ira Wallach lectures on International Affairs I to University College students Dec. 11-15.

... And This Is Spirit Week
Spirit Week, a USG innovation, “was a success far exceeding anything expected," said Jerry Gross, Spirit Week chairman. “The turn-out for all activities was not only large but enthusiastic.”
The week was opened by a jazz concert. Seven members of Phi Mu Alpha, music fraternity, presented an hour and a half of jazz reminiscent of the big band days. Marvin Feld, president of the fraternity, varied the pace with a barbershop quartet and a Dixieland quin-
tet by these “brothers seven."
The 500 students who attended this function were treated to a perfect kickoff to Spirit Week. "I would personally like to thank the members of this fraternity for the fine job they did,” Gross added.
Wednesday's activities began with the Organization Rush that was open from 4 to 8 p.m. This function gave approximately 400 students the opportunity to learn of some of the activities open to them on this campus. Many of the clubs ob-
tained new members during this affair who should promote spirit in these clubs.
Following the Rush, approximately 1,500 students showed up for the free spaghetti dinner in the cafeteria. Lines at the function were backed up to the doors from 5 to 7 p.m.
Many students went from Organization Rush to Dinner to the Dance that followed. For the first time, independents outnumbered fraternity men at the activities. This record hop,
deejayed by Jeff Raskin, drew more than 200 couples.
A special feature of this week were the two pep rallies that were held. The first, Wednesday afternoon, was the first rally to be held on the Hurricanes’ practice field. Close to 1,000 fans joined the team in a special cheer used by Coach Gustafson.
Thursday afternoon closed the activities of Spirit Week with a send-off rally in front of the Student Union.
j UNESCO during 1948-49 as di-! rector of its project on 'Tensions Affecting International Understanding” and from 1953-55 was | head of UNESCO’s Division of Applied Social Sciences.
For his work in areas of international understanding, Dr. Klineberg has been awarded the Butler Medal, the Kurt Lewin Memorial Award, an honorary doctorate at the University of Brazil, and the New Y'ork Society of Clinical Ph.v-chologists Annual Award, 1961.
While he was a member of Columbia University’s faculty, he held the Guggenheim Fellowship for research in China on emotional expression of the Chinese, and was also a visiting psychology professor at the University of Sao Paulo in Brazil and at the University of Hawaii.
Officers would be chosen by the student body in a direct election.
Last year a constitution was presented before the USG Council to provide for direct elections. It was defeated on the second
vote.
Chief opposition to a new constitution was based on the past corruption of student government under the direct-election party system. The new constitution has provisions whereby such a system could be run by checks through the Election Board.
Also, under the new constitution, the board of review would be eliminated. Presently, the board must okay all proposals before they are submitted to President Pearson.
A copy of the proposed constitution will appear in next week's Hurricane.
The next vote on the new constitution cannot be made until it has been presented before the student body in the Hurricane.
Student Shot
UM night student John Lincoln Kelly, 21, was shot and killed in a hunting accident Saturday near Miles City, Fla.
Aubrey Rogers. Collier County deputy sheriff, said Kelly, of 1368 N.W. 31 St., may have been killed by a bullet from his own .306 caliber Enfield rifle or by buckshot from another hunter’s shotgun. An autopsy will be made to determine the cause.

UM needs a President.
A resolution has been passed by the Board of Trustees creating the position of chancellor of the University of Miami.

President Pearson, who has served the University for 36 years, issued the following statement: “Our Board of Trustees . . . must begin to think of my retirement at 65. This action gives them the opportunity to obtain the finest, most experienced leadership which the University merits and must have.”
The administration will undergo a change in “line-up and batting order” concerning duties and responsibilities after the new post is installed, according to Dr. James Carney, assistant dean of I faculiies.
PRESIDENT PEARSON
.. . Will Have New Job
