UM’s Environment! kicked off the local Environmental Teach-In yesterday at 2:00 p.m. with the burial of an ecological time capsule on campus.
Stephen Hill, student coordinator for “Earth Day," the culmination of the Teach-In, began the ceremony by stating that "man must remain in balance with Nature if life is to go on.
“We must bring attention to the ugly facts that man is now out of balance with Nature and that it is only a matter of time before man’s exploitation and greed for Nature’s resources result in her unnatural death,” he said.
The time capsule, designed and built by members of UM’s School of Engineering, holds “samples of clean air which we believe clean enough to breath; water which we believe clean to drink and swim in; photographs of land replete with life and resources and photographs of land made sterile and plastic.”
Hillary Parsons, Melissa Smalheiser, and Gina Minor rested the capsule “in the womb of Nature,” where it shall lie for the next 30 years, in front of the Iron Arrow Monument.
Hillary, age 5, is the daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Robert Parsons and attends kindergarten at Dade Elementary. Melissa, age 6, is the daughter of Mrs. Alice Smalheiser and is a first-grader at Riviera Day School.
Gina’s parent’s are Mr. and Mrs. Joseph Minor, and she is a 6 year-old attending first grade at St Hugh's Elementary.
The parents of all three are associated with UM, and the girls were chosen by Environment! because they all have an early interest in ecology.
A bottle brush tree, chosen because it “symbolizes man’s balance with nature, and is known for its beauty and more so its endurance to live in a hostile environment” was planted over the capsule. The area around the tree will be entombed and marked with a commemorative plaque. The Environment Monument has been designed to complement the campus green.
‘The time capsule can be lifted in the year 2000, or sooner, if the tree dies. The death of the tree should coincide with the overall death of South Florida’s environment,” Hill explained.

USG Campaigning To Begin Today

Official campaigning for the 1970 USG elections begins today for 33 students.
Ten students are running for the executive offices of president, vice-president, and treasurer, nine of them in slates; six are running for senior representative, five for junior representative, four for sophomore representative and 8 for the Student Entertainment Commission.
Four representatives will be elected for each class and five students will be elected to the Student Entertainment Committee.
Elections are set for April 21 and 22.
The ballot will include a referendum on a new Student Body Government Constitution, which, if approved will replace Undergraduate Student Government.
The constitution calls for a student senate that will be represented by senators from each undergraduate academic division of the University.
USG Council has voted to uphold its current structure for another year as an Interim government if the SBG referendum is approved. If the constitution is adopted, next year will be a planning year for USG to “iron out” policy details with the administration.
Basically, the constitution would grant the following rights to the Student Body Government:
•	the right to control the student activity fee
•	the right to organize and exercise self-governance
•	the right to participate in non-academic policy by helping enact decisions concerning disciplinary procedures, parietal regulations, and other social matters “to be consulted by the administration before any decisions are made significantly affecting the Undergraduate Student Body” and
•	the right to be consulted in all major academic decisions significantly affecting the Undergraduate Student Body.
Candidates for the executive offices in slates are Mark Krasnow, Don Spurlock and Bob Drake; Don Wade, Ray Carr and Ira Pollack; Lloyd Tannenbaum, John Bailey, and Craig Rein-ertson. Mort Laitner is running as an independent for president.
The six candidates for senior representative include: Reid Brown, James Cantrell, Bill Lizewski, Nathan Shmalo and the slate of Segundo Fernandez and Gilbert Llanes.
Running in slates for junior representative are Jerry Kaufman and Iggie Saizarbitoria and Joseph Neureuter, William Simmons and Edward Strongin.
Sophomore representative candidates are Steve Chay-kin, John Shepherd and the slate of Garrett Grainger and David Smith.
Candidates for the Student Entertainment Committee include: David Glassman, Susan Milberg, Lee Phillips, Anamaria Rey, Herbert Roye, Ron Shafran, Judy Shapiro and Susan Strausberg.
USG Council voted Monday to include another referendum on next week’s ballot asking students for their approval of a $1 or $2 increase in the student activity fee for minority group scholarships.

On Patio Tomorrow
Contrasts In Culture Present Mort Sahl
By JOHN REILLY
Of Th* Humcana Staff
Mort Sahi, comedian and lecturer, will speak on the Student Union patio tomorrow night at 8 p.m. in conjunction with Contrast in Culture Week.
Sahl, sponsored by the UM Program Council, is a social critic and political satirist who either delights his audiences or as Johnny Carson said "bores them” because he tells them things they don't want to hear.
For example, Sahl says, “I’m sure you know, now this is pretty common knowledge, that the CIA has hired people to act as conduits of money to be sent to radical students and black militants. The CIA is also burning flags in order to polarize the country and open it up for domination by the right. You’d have to be a child not to know that.”
On youth Sahl says, “Look at the youth today, i think of them as the casualties of a programmed conspiracy to destroy the United States. These kids have been driven crazy. They’ve become frenetic. Just look at their music. The drug scene is their way out.”
What Sahl delivers at his lectures is the same as his night club act. He wants this response from his audience.
“I want them to be who
they are. If you and I were the last people on earth and you began to agree with me. I’d oppose you. I want to stimulate my audience. You know, It’s like they already know what the front of the car looks like, and I want to show them a side view or
just how deep the malady goes.”
Just when the audience is thinking Sahl is strictly a social critic he will deliver a line like, “watching Joe Bishop is like taking three Seconals,” and then everyone knows he is a comedian too.
tions. The results will be made public today.
The eight students, John Bailey, Barbara Clancy, Earl DeVeaux, Bernice McDade, Walter Mitchell, Bill Pratt, Bob Rolle, and Jimmy Zillinger, were formally charged for participating in the United Black Students' sit-in at the Dean of Men’s office Feb. 19.
At the pre-hearing yesterday, Bruce S. Rogow, advisor for the eight, argued the motions of: the right of jurisdiction (question as to whether the Disciplinary Hearing Committee was the correct committee to hear the case); the denial of counsel in the hearings; a challenge to the committee members for cause (question as to whether the members expressed a pre-j u d g e d consideration); and how and who determined the seriousness of the offense.
On a motion presented allowing for the defendants
to have the right to counsel (which is denied in the present set-up of the hearing), Rogow appealed to the committee members to consider the “fundamental fairness for the respondents to have counsel.”
He explained that legal counsel could present the case “without emotional overtones and subjectivity that students use in their own defense.”
If the committee rules that the motions are not relevant, Rogow will make an appeal to the appellate officer in the case. Dr. Frederick D. Lewis, Dean of the Law School.
If the committee rules that the motions are relevant in the case, the procedures for charging the students will have to be reviewed and started again.

USG President Jim Yasser has questioned the searching of residence halls during Easter break which resulted in $25 fines for seven residents or their guests.
In a memorandum to Vice President for Student Affairs William Butler, Yasser said “although the search and seizure policy does allow occupancy checks, it also stipulates that no disciplinary action shall be taken . . ."
‘To arbitrarily fine students $25 per guest, constitutes, in our opinion a disciplinary action of vast proportion.”
Director of Resident Student Development Joel Rudy said a full-scale memo was issued to all residents before vacation stating that residence halls would be closed during the break.
He said residents were warned that no guests would be allowed and that either the guest or the host would be fined for violating the rules.
Rudy said the fining was not a disciplinary action because personnel deans were not notified of the violators.
“The reason for the tightened security was due to the $10,000 worth of theft which resulted in Mahoney Hail during Christmas break," he said. “There was no theft or damage reported in the residence halls during Easter break and many of the kids were most appreciative."
He said Christmas and Easter are a "rough time” in this area . . . “everyone and his brother visit here, and we’re not in the hotel business.”
In his memorandum Yasser said that if the Office of Resident Student Development insists upon levying these fines, “we will be required to counsel the students Involved to ask for a hearing through the appropriate channels.”
“If they are found innocent, they will not be fined, and if found guilty they will certainly be no worse for their actions,” he said.

Frats Splash At Pool
By KATHY WILSON
Of TIM Hurricane Staff
The annual Delta Gamma Anchor Splash entertained a crowd of 200 fraternity men and spectators at the Student Union pool on Saturday.
The novelty swimming competition between fraternities has become a nationwide event at campuses with DG chapters, since the first Anchor Splash took place at Miami five years ago.
Six fraternities entered the competition this year.
“I was a little disappointed that we didn’t get 100% participation from the fraternities, but the ones that did enter were really spirited and that’s what counts,” Dottie Berlew, chairlady of Anchor Splash, said.
This year more novelty events were added to the schedule and only two straight swimming events were included. The fraternities requested the change so that no one house would have an unfair advantage.
“It’s more fun this way, and each fraternity has a better chance of placing,” Miss Berlew explained.
Besides the 200 yard freestyle and the 200 yard
medley relay, the events included a funny bathing suit contest, an inner tube swim, a sweatshirt relay, a backwards swim, a seal race, and a mystery event that consisted of the contestants trying to swim 100 yards, anyway they could, balancing styrofoam rings on their heads and in their mouths.
The intramural department assisted the DG’s by directing all the events and doing the scoring and tuning.
Sigma Chi took home the first place trophy upsetting the Alpha Tau Omega’s. ATO had won the competition in the two previous years and could have retired the trophy
this year. Sigma Alpha Epsilon was third, finishing in front of the Kappa Sigma’s Pi Kappa Alpha’s, and the Tau Kappa Epsilon’s.
"Anchor Splash provides for friendly informal interfratemity competition, and everybody really has a good time,” Miss Berlew said.
