Its stated aims include projecting the thoughts of

endorsement of the majority of student body presidents in Florida.
“In its first three days of recruiting members,’’ said Newpher, UM coordinator, the organization has come to include, “such diverse political factions as supporters of Kennedy, McCarthy, Humphrey, Rockefeller, and even some ex-Nixon, Wallace and Reagan activists.”
The student leaders feel that together they can change from the policies of

COISO Gets SOC Charter

ate School; Miss Helen Gok-ie, 960 Complex Graduate Advisor; Christian H. Sachs; graduate department head; and the Administration are helping to organize GSG.
GSG will be either a separate house incorporated in USG, or a representative body with senators elected from all graduate schools.
An executive body will be elected by the 2,000-odd graduate students on campus.
GSG was proposed because there is no recognized representation for UM graduate students except for a few small departments in the Law and Business schools. GSG goals are to promote closer faculty-administration-graduate student relations to stimulate interest in graduate
study among undergraduate students, and to promote greater recognition of the Graduate Division in academic and industrial circles.
GSG also seeks to charter graduate student organizations, to provide a legitimate channel through which graduate students can participate in academic and social policy making, and to provide a means of communications between graduate students and department heads, and the dean of graduate studies.
Miss Gokie said “I see GSG as a very viable group to institute positive change at the University." The first formal meeting will be “within the next month.”
Interested graduate students are urged to contact their department heads, Dr. Greenfield, Miss Gokie, or Mr. Sachs by November 1.

More than 100 people, mostly members of UM’s Students for a Democratic Society, picketed for nearly two and one half hours in front of the Coral Gables Country Club, where General Curtis LeMay spoke before 330 members of the Coral Gables Ki-wanis Club Tuesday afternoon.
Among the students picketing LeMay were USG president Mike Abrams, treasurer Tom Rebel, representative Mark Kalish, and former representative Bruce O’Boyle.
The picketers marched in two lines up and down the sidewalk in front of the Country Club in compliance with the orders of the Coral Gables Police, and the demonstration remained peaceful.
Trustee Charged With Tax Evasion
UM President Dr. Henry King Stanford praised Miami businessman, Max Orov-itz in Federal Court this week as a civic leader and a member of numerous charitable organizations.
Orovitz, a member of the UM Board of Trustees since 1921, was charged with failure to report the sale of $250,000 of General Development Corp. stocks and bonds while he was an officer and director of the firm.
Dr. Stanford testified he has known Orovitz since 1921. H e said Orovitz pledged $100,000 to the college fund. He also was a member of the University’s fund board, of the Miami Chamber of Commerce and of several Jewish community organizations, Stanford said.
When asked if the University could get along without Orovitz, Stanford replied: “We could get along without him but I wouldn’t like to think about that.”
Orovitz is accused of “willfully” failing to file a report on the $250,000 transaction
to the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) and the American Stock Exchange.

Most of the demonstrators carried signs with such slogans as “War Is Harmful To Children And Other Living Things,” and “At Least We’ll Go Out With A Bang.”
Several girls grinned as they displayed signs reading “Drop LeMay on Hanoi,” and
“LeMay Cooks With Napalm.”
