1964
The Women's Cancer Association of the University of Miami presented a pledge of 5500,000 to President Henry King Stanford last Friday for construction of cancer research facilities for the School of Medicine.
To be paid over a 10-year period. the commitment is the largest yet made by any group or
individual in the community to the proposed Medical Center.
Present at the pledge presentation were Mrs. C lluhhard Davis, president of the association, Mrs. Fred Ravlin. founding president and Dr llayden Nicholson, dean of the School of Medicine.
The Medical Center is part of the University's $13 million Gold-
en Anniversary Development Program Target date for the two-phase medical buildings program totaling $21.892.000 is 1975. Close to $10 million of this is sought by 1970.
Mrs Davis said the decision to refocus the aims of the Women's Cancer Association at this time was unanimously supported by the 20 chapters comprising the association
Since the group was chartered
in 1959 "to render financial assistance in research against cancer," the membership of some 840 women has raised approximately $210.000 for cancer research and cancer education.
The critical need for additional facilities in which to conduct cancer researrh prompted the decision to pledge the next 10 years of their efforts to this end, Mrs. Davis said.
With this new goal, we plan ti increase our efforts and if pos-' sihle, meet the total pledge in less than 10 years.” she added "All our members are excited about the significance of this project in our community. We are particularly proud to be the first community group to come so whole-heartedly to the support of the proposed Medical Center."
Said Dr Stanford: “I am deeply
grateful ¡If tf^feeption of the ic Women's Cincer Association Their compIW rledi-cation to cancer research at the University has been most heartening to all of us. By providing the medical school with funds for construction of expanded and improved cancer research laboratories. they may well hasten the day when research will find the answer to the causes of the dread disease of cancer "

Constitutional Amendment Passes By President s Vote
The proposed “class government" amendment to the USG Constitution barely squeezed through the first vote Monday when President Lee Clifford threw his vote to the affirmative side making the two-thirds majority needed for passage.
The amendment — which will eliminate the representatives from the schools within the university and create posts for class-elected officers on the council— must now be voted on one more time. If it is passed on Oct. 26, it will take effect during the spring USG elections.
Seemed leader of the opposition to the amendment was Jack Shapiro, Arts and Sciences representative, who called the proposal “Pork-chop-ping.”
He continued, “If we don’t stop this haggling on USG, we will
JUST THE FACTS
fail in everything we try to do this year.”
Dick Bonehill, representative of Men’s Residence Hall Association, opposed the measure saying, “The deans and the students feel this is an effective outlet for student government."
He added. "People want to run for USG posts, therefore, they will run only for president and vice-president of their classes. The other positions will not he filled.”
Bonehill cited lack of class spirit by saying. "If they ever call a meeting of the freshman class en masse. I’d like to be there.”
Stan Stahl, University College sophomore representative, posed a question in defense of the amendment: “Why should some students have an upperclass school seat, an IFC seat, and an MRHA seat?”
The proposal was passed by a 10-5 ballot of the representatives.
Clifford threw his vote to the maVjority when it was needed to insure the life of the measure He was challenged by members of the opposition, but a copy of Robert’s Rules of Order, proved that the president could vote in any ballot in which his “aye” or "nay" would decide the issue
A proposal concerning student participation in the setting of campus parking regulations was presented by Stan Stahl and automatically tabled for one week,

Dean and Wife Visit Russia
Dean of Men Ben E. David and his wife Dr Alma David, professor of Elementary Education, have been invited to participate in a seminar and field study on Education Under Communism. The project is sponsored by the National School Boards Association, Phi Delta Kappa, and the Comparative Education Society.
Storm Closes Doors'
The following are examples of i campus for information was the
replies the HURRICANE staff received from various administrators while trying to get information on the storm Wednesday
afternoon.
•	From Registrar George W. Smith: “Get off this line, it is not for the dissemination of information to a student newspaper but for emergency use only.”
•	The campus police force did not answer the phone when called at 4:30. 5 and 5:30 p.m.
•	The physical plant spokesman informed the staff: “I’m sorry, I can't answer now Ask me sometime when it’s sunny outside.”
•	The offices of the Dean of Men, the Dean of Women and the Dean of Students were closed at 3 p m. Wednesday and unavailable for comment.
•	The administrative offices of the various schools and departments were closed and unavailable for comment after 3 p.m.
As just one example, freshman Bill Fiermonti, campus resident, wandered into the HURRICANE office in last-ditch desperation to find out: 1. Are there any classes tommor?; 2. Where can I get some food? ; 3. I heard there was a tornado on campus. Where do tomorrow?; 2. Where can I get we go if it comes back?; 4. My apartment leaks and everything’s getting soaked, what should I do?
By this time, students had realized the only place left open on
¡HURRICANE office itself
At 5 p.m. a barrage of phone calls from students began to come in. Many said they were referred to the office by the campus operator. Students, soaked by the rain while running from dorms, stormed into the office.
We then decided to offer the only information we had: at 2 p.m. we were advised that 8 a m. classes on Thursday were still scheduled.
We checked the dormitories and found no provisions had been stocked for students in event of power failure.
The only thing offered students was food from the electrically-operated machines which have been known to have 15-minute capacity when attacked by hungry students.
One office furnished us information: the Student Health Service. They reported a medical student had been placed in each dormitory with instructions to care for the ill or injured.
At 5:45 p.m. a call from a Ray : Brown was referred to the HURRICANE by the switchboard. He said he could not make the 8 p.m. curfew imposed on students. He could not reach anyone in his dormitory area to let him know he would not be in his room. He supplied his advisor's name and by phone we tracked down the proctor and informed him that Brown was “holding down a sailboat in the Miami River.”
The study in which the two University of Miami staff have been chosen includes 85 other educators from the United States. The visits to the various school systems will include Russia. East Berlin, and the satellite countries
Planning committees will be on hand in each of the countries to handle visiting arrangements to various schools and universities. Dr. Gerald Read. Secretary-Treasurer of the Comparative Education Society is the director of the project.
Once in the countries, the delegation will be divided into interest groups. This will provide a more intensive insight into the special fields in the program.
Dean David expects to spend ' much time at the universities, while Dr. David will concentrate on nursery and pre-school education.

H.H.H. To Speak Here
CM. Metro To Begin Planning Talks
The University of Miami and Metropolitan Dade County this week received instructions to mediate their differences and pave the way for the development of the Jackson Memorial Medical Complex.
A four-man Metro policy committee ordered planners of both UM and Metro to solve all differences and come up with a master plan for control of the Medical complex.
Although no target date has been set for completion of the plan, the committee hopes to have a tentative schedule ready before Jan. I.
This will leave UM and county officials sufficient time to act before any bonds could be validated, provided Dade County voters approve a proposed $9.3 million hospital bond issue Nov. 3.
A sharp difference of opinion between Metro's hospital director Dr. Kerniit Gates and Dr Hayden Nicholsen, dean of the UM School of Medicine, on the site for some $18 million in buildings which UM plans to construct at Jackson, has held up the planning thus far.
This dispute over Jackson's face-lifting does not directly affect the bond issue. The facilities for which the bond issue provides will be needed, whatever Jackson's future.
A recent flurry over making the university an "equal partner" in the planning of the hospital grew out of the belief of one of the Metro commissioners that differences over site location of particular buildings could he more quickly solved if the Metro commission stepped into the master planning.
Instead, the commission named the acting county manager to meet with UM officials. Out of one of the meetings of this group last week came the order to planners to study various proposals drawn up by both county and university officials and to settle on a single proposition.

Union Site Taboo To UM Students
Student tourists take heed.
Don’t go sightseeing or short-cutting through UM’s four construction sites.
You might get hurt.
According to UM Staff Architect Charles J. Cotterman. too many UM'ers are w ander -'ing through the partly-completed structures or making ‘straight-line' approaches to class.
As construction activity increases, he sai<l, the chance of injury to students wandering in
the area also increases.
So far, no serious injury has been recorded. However, one student fell into an open trench and anohter person was knocked from his bicycle.
In the interest of safety, Cotter-man advises that students avoid the construction areas.
