              University Classes Are Peacefully Integrated
A handful of qualified Negroes quietly entered and started attending undergraduate and graduate level classes last weekend.
At least 30 Negro students are attend-
ing University classes — mostly o the graduate level, according to Dr. Robert Johns, executive vice president. No record was made of the number of Negroes accepted.
These are not, however, the first colored students to take University courses. Throughout the years, Negroes have been attending night classes.
Integration came about as a direct re-
sult of action taken by the Board of Trustees in January to accept or reject all applications on their merits.
"All University facilities are available to these new students." said Dr. Johns.

A Swinging U ni versity? That’s Us
By MICHAELEEN IIANN
The UM campus is again “swinging” into a summer camp for clarinet footers, trumpet blowers and other music makers for the next four weeks.
Band director Fred McCall is conducting his thirteenth summer band camp for high school students. The more than 200 teenagers were recommended by their high school band or orchestra teachers.
For the first time since the present series comenced, McCall will include orchestral instruction as a special phase of the musical program.
"Students and the public can hear the accomplishments of
the musicians at concerts It p.in. Sundays on campus,” said McCall.
Most visiting campers are residing at Eaton Hall dorm, while local students commute from home. At least 25 junior and senior counselors are in charge of the dorm life.
The staff conducting the music activities is made up of high school music directors throughout the state UM music staffers and symphony members will teach students privately and in groups.
Eaton llall may ring with the sound of varied instrument during the afternoons, while musicians practice for hand and orchestra work.
All work and no play is not the motto, however. The prepsters will have plenty of time for UM sponsored activities, picnics, movies at Beaumont Hall, talent shows, and parties and dancing on Saturday night.
The camp ends July 22, with an awards banquet giving recognition to outstanding music, athletic and citizenship students that had participated in the monthlong program.

Six University College freshmen have been suspended and two other students have received stiff punishments as the UM Honor Council began its final sessions two : weeks ago on cases from the Spring semester.
Another student went before the student-faculty-ad-| ministration council late Tuesday on a charge of plagia-| rism of a term paper.
For the first time, no disciplinary cases came out of final examinations. All were from pre-exam situations cr resulting from term papers.

Faculty Council Increases Voice
Dr. Robert Johns, executive vice president, recently requested a committee of the Faculty Council and the University Chapter of the American Association of University Professors to formulate plans to set up a faculty government.
The plan at no time involved a power shift nor a drastic change, as was fallaciously reported in a local newspaper, rather an increase in faculty authority.
The AAUP committee carefully pointed out that the plan is a tentative one, that is wishes to obtain faculty opinion before moving on to the next step and that it intends to work closely with the Faculty Council. They will also obtain advice from the Washington office of the AAUP before final planning.
Activity Program Set
Record hops, outdoor sports instruction and splash parties are part of an expanded activity program planned for summer students, announced Chink Whitten, director of activities.
Record hops will take place 8:30 to 11:30 Friday evenings on the Student Union patio. All facilities, including the lower lounge and cafeteria, will be open for student use.
Whitten will offer free tennis instrurtion every Monday and
Wednesday evening on the UM courts on San Aniaro Drive.
Classes will begin at 7:30.
For the golf-minded students, free passes are available in Room 3 of the Student Union, compliments of the City of Coral Gables. Students may play only once a week.
Free movies will be offered on the Student Union patio every Thursday evening beginning June 29. First showing will be "The Perfect Furlough,” starring Tony Curtis and Janet Leigh.
