The University will kick off the world’s largest mass field trial of the new oral polio vaccine during second-semester registration next month.
All students under 40 will be given the opportunity to drink the cherry-flavored liquid.
“Everyone is urged to take this new vaccine—even if they have already taken Salk shots — because it not only protects against paralytic polio, but also stops a person from being a carrier,” said Dr. Eugene Flip-se, director of the Student Health Center and chairman of the program.
“The vaccine will be offer-

ed free to everyone under 40 in an effort to make I)ade County completely free of polio,” he said.
Students will receive a questionnaire during the regular registration process which they must fill out, but the vaccine will be administered on a purely voluntary basis.
THE LIQUID vaccine, which is taken by mouth in some form of drink rîither than by injection. is effective against all
three types of polio virus. It already has been tested in the US. on a small scale at the University of Minnesota and on .1 somewhat larger basis in a
lew South American countries.
The program will be spon-sored jointly by the Dade County Medical Association, the Dade County Health Dc-
partment and the University.
Although the oral vaccine is believed to be l»etter and more effective than the Salk vaccine, everyone over 40 is urged to continue getting Salk shots and boosters, cautioned Dr. Franklin Evans, president of the Dade County Medical Society.
With this liquid we hope to eradicate polio as a disease, while tlie Salk vaccine only
eradicated paralytic polio,” said
Dr. Elam Cato, head of the Dade County Department of Health.

Faculty Rift Explodes— Who Goes?
A clash of personalities in the School of Medicine, which this week has left four surgery professors and the department chairman wondering who may or may not Vie around next semester, will not be resolved until President Jay F. W. Pearson returns from Boston next week.
A faculty committee of the school plus Vice President C. Doren Tharp was organized to settle the dispute, which reportedly has been festering since August.
The committee railed for the firing of Dr. John J. Farrell, chairman of the Surgery Department.
The conflict has been chiefly between Dr. Farrell and Drs. Frank T. Kurzweg. Robert S. Litwak, John J. Fomon and George R. Prout.
Sources said the four met with Medical School Dean Homer Marsh and requested Farrell's removal but instead received letters from Marsh asking them to resign because "unrest and interpersonnel frictions have become so serious in the Department of Surgery."
Accompanied Monday by her parents, Mr. and Mrs. Jules Dubois, of Coral Gables, Lucy boarded a jet to New York, where she "enrolled" at St. Barnabas Hospital, and at this moment is preparing for a unique operation.
THE NATl'RE and history of this delicate type of surgery was televised nationally a few weeks ago in a story portraying the successful battle of Life magazine photojoumalist Margaret Bourke-White.
Interviewed at her home last week. Lucy felt she could have played the role of Miss Bourke-White, so similar are their cases. "I could have made up by realism what I lack in dramatic ability," sne ¡.aid.
The same specialist who performed the initial operation and has pioneered in this field will attrmpt to repeat the surgery with Lucy.
The popular coed, who majors in Hispanic-American studies and will enter her junior year when she returns, received no guarantee from the doctor. “He says there’s an 80 per cent chance that with one operation now and another later. 1 might fully recover."
LUCILLE WAS BORN in Panama, where she attended parochial school. A nun was first to detect a quivering of her right hand in March 1946 From that time until Nov. 9. 1959 Lucy underwent test after test before the mysterious disease was correctly diagnosed.
Before interrupting her UM career this September to make preparations for the operation, the Gables High graduate was active in the National Student Association <coordinator). Latin American Suh-Commission (former president). Globetrotter (editor) and the Newman Club Lucy hopes for a position one day in which she could utilize her fluent Spanish
Speaking of the risks involved Lucy, a devout Catholic, says she’il ask for the Last Rites in-preparation. "I thank God each day for my wonderful family, for had it not been for their Iteeping after' me I wouldn't have made it this far ”

A proctoring system will go into effect on a limited trial basis during exam week. It may become school-wide in June if faculty approval is given the Undergraduate Association proposal.
The UA student “police” will march next week to selected classes in the School of Business and the College of Arts and Sciences.
Dean Grover A. J. Noetzel, of the School of Business Administration. said the “present honor system is ineffective" and railed for the passing of the proctor program.
"The proctoring system will encourage a more direct student participation that is lacking in the honor system,” said Noetzel.
UA proposed the system to curtail cheating discovered by students, professors and UA members, said a UA spokesman
STUDENT PROCTORS will be selected from honoraries, service organizations and the Doan's List. They must have at least a 1.6
average.
Senior Jerry Gardner is chairman of the proctoring system.
According to Gardner, a proctor will be assigned to a room immediately before the exam hour. He will follow instructions given by professors or the instructor giving the exam.
If some form of cheating is deterted the proctor will report the name to the professor, who will refer it to the honor
court.
"The new system, if adopted throughout the University, would not make the honor system obsolete." said Noetzel. “It is merely a transitional step involving students in a serious program.”
DEAN of Faculties C. Doren Tharp said he sent a memo to the faculty recommending the system
Professors currently scheduling proctored exams are. in the School of Business, John B. Slocum. management: James P McMahon, finance, and Dr. John C. Fetzer, economics In the College of Arts and Sciences, Dr. Alfred Andrews, classics, and Carl Selle, English.
