Fraternity ‘Party’ Cost $500 . . . And Social Probation
B.v JERRY Q. GREENFIELD Hurricane Asst. News Editor
Phi Sigma Delta and Tau Epsilon Phi were placed' on total social probation until the fall of 1962. This action was taken by the Dean of Men’s office Tuesday as a result of the unregistered party held over the Thanksgiving vaca-cation.
Mr. Myers, counselor for fra ■ ternities, made this announcement after an investigation of the claims sent to the dean's office by the Surfcomber Hotel. The hotel management claimed that a party of 29 Phi Sigs and 30 TEPS had caused damages in the hotel amounting to $500.
The Dean of Men's Office was notified of these damages the
week following Thanksgiving, but took no action against the fraternities involved until a study could be made into the matter. The bill listed a number of items which were not directly assessable to the fraternities. A large group of high school students from the Miami area staying at the hotel over the vacation further complicated the situation.
The study was concluded last Friday and the fraternities were informed of the action to be taken against them. “Both these fraternities will be on total probation for the balance of the 1961-1962 academic year. This means,,” explained Mr. Meyers, “no social affairs and no women permitted in the fraternity houses. There will also be no February rushing
MRHA Continues Effort
Billing of students and subsequent suspension from classes for damages to the men’s residence halls has recently come under the focus of MRHA officials and UM’s administration.
Larry Kurland, MRHA president, put forth suggestions concerning this problem. They were that individuals be notified when articles were repaired or replaced and that a damage inspection system be devised whereby all students would be billed for damages before checking out at the end of the semester.
Mr. Harry E. Meigs, Manager of Housing, replied that the ideas were good in theory but impractical in application. “The mass termination of apartment use at the end of semesters would require over 100 inspectors to cover approximately 3500 check-outs in about 4 days’ time,” he said. "We, of course, do not have this kind of personnel.”
Kurland countered that since some universities do have dorm
inspection services he still considers the plan workable. “I think the thirty-odd dorm advisors hired by UM would make grand dorm inspectors,” he said. “I also think that one’s financial obliga-tiofts should be cleared with the housing office before the student leaves UM in the spring, rather than being suspended from claries the following fall — five months after the damages had occured."
Kurland also brought up the question concerning the billing of students who did not return to the University. “If an individual incurs damage to his apartment,” Mr. Meigs replied, “the bill is turned over to the main business office. AU we can do is block diplomas and transcripts until the bill is paid."
or pledging.”
The two fraternities may initiate fall pledges who make their grades. They can continue to participate in intramurals. but may not be in contention for the President's Cup. The fraternities and their alumni will he responsible for negotiating with the hotel for damages.
“The conduct portrayed by these groups,” concluded Mr. Meyers, “appeared to be prejudicial to the good name of the University and not in keeping with the avowed purposes, principles and ideals set forth in the national constitution of both organizations.”
In addition to the two fraternities, four students were put on disciplinary probation, several were reprimanded and several requested to negotiate alleged damage charges with the management of the Surf-comber Hotel.
Ammendment Defines IFC Pep Position
The controversial amendment to the Pep Club constitution stating that no one person in Pep Club may represent more than one organization has been passed unanimously.
The amendment proposed by Stu Bloch, the Club's vice president, was passed in reaction to the fiery meeting of several weeks ago in which “Chink” Whitten, Pep Club advisor, walked out after a verbal battle concerning IFC representation.
It is hoped that the amendment will increase attendance at regular club meetings.

UM STUDENTS can leave their snowshoes here when they go North for the Liberty Bowl. Weather forecasts dating back 50 years give slim odds on any UMers taking a walk through the snow. If luck holds out, the day of the game should be clear and crisp. Of course, if you turn green looking at our nature lovers above, you can try crossing your fingers.

Academics and athletics will seek national attention in Philadelphia this weekend.
The Hurricanes will journey to the City of Brotherly Love for the Liberty Bowl and an Undergraduate Student Government committee will kick-off a national campaign to raise money.
“The USG Professorship Chair on International Affairs” will be officially launched this afternoon at 2 p.m. at the Philadelphia City Hall. The city fathers and UM student leaders will initiate the fund raising drive with a “quarter million dollar challenge” to the parents of all Miami students.
The Undergraduate Student Council embarked on the plan with the help of the University Administrators by placing $50,000 aside for the endowed chair.
A letter from Miami Mayor Robert King High will introduce committee chairman Bill Frey and USG President Bill Cornell to Philadelphia Mayor Richard Dil-worth and the council.
In the 10,000 letters being sent to the parents the student committee challenges, “We now ask you—our parents — to match our efforts with another $50,000 . . . Whether we win or lose the football game this program will enable us all to be winners. We are hoping yeu will accept our challenge.”
While in Philadelphia Cornell and Frey will visit UM alumni in the area to gain support for the chair.
Through this plan internationally known educators will be brought to the university for a semester or year to instruct in their field. Classes to accommodate approximately 2,000 students will be scheduled.
The lecturers will be paid from the interest on the $250,000. The original money will not be touched.
A student committee will select the lecturers and the university will then extend them an invitation.
Students are completely in charge of raising funds for l this program.

‘Man Can’t Be Subdivided By Race, ’ Says Dr. Klineberg In UC Lecture
By PATRICIA CURTIS Hurricane Manaiini (ditar
Dr. Otto Klineberg, noted psychologist, took a slam at the concept of race, deeming it “riddled with mythology,” in a lecture for University College students Wednesday.
The lecture, entitled •-The Race Problem in International Perspective," was second in a series sponsored by the Miriam and Ira Wallach Foundation for UC students.
Klineberg pointed out that there is no way to objectively sub-divide man into races nor any real criteria of classification as to the number of races. "However,” Klineberg said, “Americans take the idea of racial superiority and inferiority seriously.”
According to Klineberg, various immigration laws, such as the Oriental Exclusion Acts, have resulted in a loss of respect for the U S.—perhaps setting the stage for current Anti-Americanism in present day Asia.
“Our greatest ‘Achille’s heel' as champions of democracy is our failure, so far, to solve the problem of ethnic discrimination.”
Klineberg feels that much of America's success in world relations will depend on “how successful we are in eliminat-
ing racialism.”
The lectures, televised over closed-circuit TV for the sophomore Social Sciences 201
classes, began Monday, when Klineberg discussed “The Human Factor in International Relations.”
