President’s Welcome
My Friends of our Student Body:
During orientation week I had the pleasure of welcoming briefly most of the University’s new students, in person.
Now I want to extend my personal greetings to all of our students, new and old. I know that I can speak for my colleagues, of the administration and faculty, in saying that we are glad to have you on our campuses.
I would like to call to the attention of all students returning to the University that many changes have taken place during the last year, and during the summer, just as many changes have taken place every year during the thirty-five years of the University's existence, and just as they will take place in all the years to come.
In thinking hack over the thirty-five years which have passed so swiftly since I joined our founding faculty, I am amused to note how some changes have come about with a lot of shouting and tumult, and others have taken place quietly and with little notice. As happens in our country, and in our world, some of the most significant changes have attracted the least attention.
Sometimes major events, such as the realization of our great new library, are almost overlooked, while trivia become overemphasized, earth-shaking.
No Atnerican university has lived through so many changes, or made so much history in so short a time as has our university. Few people within or without the institution have been able to keep up with the march of events or to prepare mentally for the overwhelming tide of progress which will inevitably sweep upon our campuses during the next few years.
Every now and then someone without experience clutches vainly at the onrushing tide and tries to force it into a pattern set by some older institution in a completely different environment, and with most of its future behind it. Such well-intentioned, but misguided efforts usually demonstrate merely lack of imagination and lack of a sense of security.
From time to time also, my young friends, this institution and its student body have been attacked, vindictively, and even viciously, by some within or without our institution. No institution of value, or person of character, in our world today escapes this kind of harrassment. For example, you may hear spoken, or read in print, such fallacies as that democracy is no good because it is not perfect, or that all business is wicked because it creates wealth and makes a profit, or that churches are failures because church members still sin, or ti.at fraternities are monstrosities because youth is a learning process and occasional mistakes are a by-product of learning. Or you may hear and read that faculties are no good because a few faculty members may not be what they should be and that a great and wonderful city is not a place to build a university in spite of its beauty, dynamic activity and future promise, because its less savory aspects sometimes attract attention.
Such attacks trouble only the faint of heart. They are best ignored. Here at the University of Miami you are in personal contact with educational history in the making. You are following thousands of other young people who have drawn intellectual, emotional and spiritual strength and understanding from experience within and without our classrooms. As you go about your studies, the main purpose for which you attend our University, there is all about you a restless, swelling vitality and alertness giving promise which only the insensitive fail to recognize. You are attending a university in a stable, growing, God-fearing community which plays a role of real significance in American life. You are among students from every part of our nation and most of the world. You represent a cross section of today’s alert and intelligent youth, chosen to attend our University because we believe you can profit from the opportunities and experiences made available here.
You have come from good homes, and have been reared by thoughtful and responsible parents. The potential of your generation is the greatest the world has seen.
Our rules are those of any city of 10,000 people, and are set up to enable you to live satisfactorily and comfortably with each other. This University has grown so rapidly and has increased in complexity with such amazing speed that we are constantly forced to re-evaluate our procedures. Rules written and unwritten which seemed fair and effective yesterday may be found to be unfair and unworkable today. If so, they have to be changed.
You are students in a democracy, not slaves in a dictatorship. Take my word for that. Your experience here should help you to prepare for and to believe fully in our American democratic way of life.
We exist and are dedicated to your growth and your success. We want you to learn, not fail. You are part of our America of tomorrow, and we take great pride in the fact that you will be with us and will have our help during this period of intensive effort on your part to determine just what each of you, as Americans, will be in the years to come. I wish you a maximum of health, growth and success, and a minimum of disappointment and heartbreak.
JAY F. W. PEARSON, President.

The Interfraternity Council of the University of Miami, at a meeting last Tuesday, has voted 19-5 to abolish the serving of alcoholic beverages at all fraternity social functions.	♦--------------
The IFC also included an 8- ficulty in enforcing the original
point statement of General Principles and Ethics as an amendment to the Code of Practices on Alcoholic Beverages. The ruling establishes UM as a “dry campus” for the first time in its 35 year history.
The self-imposed ruling should substantially decrease the problem of enforcing the Code, and put such enforcement in the hands of the IFC Social Standards Committee rather than with the school administration. Violations will come before the IFC Judiciary Board.
IFC President Jules Dubois has termed the revisions “a workable code." Fraternity leaders also feel that the new code will ease the burden of enforcement within their respective chapters.
Stu Bloch, IFC representative from ZBT fraternity, said that the elimination of alcoholic beverages at social functions would "relieve the temptation to drink from those persons under 21.”
The opposition expressed the feeling that well-organized groups would experience no dif-
eode as handed down by the administration.
The remaining seven points contained within the IFC policy reaffirmed points of the original Code of Practices on alcoholic
beverages.
All parties will be checked by the Social Standards Committee j and any violations of the conditions will be tried by the Judiciary Board of the IFC unless action is first taken by the University.
Stuart Myers, assistant dean of men, said the new amendment was the best thing that could happen to the fraternity system.
"I am happy that the organization took it upon themselves to form this regulation and be responsible for its enforcement,” said Myers.
Dr. Robert Johns, Executive Vice President of the University, is said to have commented, “fine.”
Jules Dubois, IFC president, j has emphasized the fact that the new ruling is self-imposed by the fraternity president’s council without any pressure being exerted upon the body.

John O'Day, director of physical plant, announced today that “full” and “stringent” enforcement of the parking plan will begin Monday.
“Up to now I have ordered my men to be lenient with most offenders—but beginning Monday there will be no more warnings issued,” said Mr. O’Day.
“I do not want to have to hand out any summonses, but it is only fair to warn any student who has tried to ‘beat’ the system that he will be found and fined,” he continued.
Enforcing the new parking laws will be a force of five men—one who will be working full time during the peak class hours. Four university policemen will be on duty spot-checking the various dorm areas during the day as well as in the evening.
To date, 26 cars have been towed away for parking in restricted areas. "Most of these cases involved students who deliberately defied the rules set up to govern the plan,” said the director.
The cost to have a ear reclaimed after it has been towed away is $9 plus an additional $3 for hazardous parking.
Mr. O'Day pointed out that many complaints about the new system is due to the fact that the situation is presently confused because some students have not yet bought their stickers and are parking In lots where they should not.
“The situation is further aggravated because some of the fra-
ternity boys have purchased commuter stickers and are taking up parking spaces originally planned for others,” said Mr. O'Day. “This is illegal and beginning Monday these students will be traced and prosecuted.”
“Once the regulations begin to be enforced Monday parking should no longer present the problems it has in the past,” as-
sured Mr. O’Day. “It is up to the students to carry the ball—buy their permits and park in the designated lots.”
Earlier this week, due to an underestimate of car registrations, the office of Physical Plant ran out of commutor and dormitory stickers. A temporary sticker will be issued until the ordered ones arrive.
