New Visitât Policy Approved
Impossible!
Good morning commuter student. Your mission should you decide to accept it, is to find a parking space on the UM campus on any given morning.
If you are delayed or ticketed the Motor Vehicle Bureau will deny any knowledge of your existence. Good luck, student number 057-42-1077.

The UM Board of Trustees has approved an extension of the existing visitation program to include selected women’s residence areas.
The policy will go into effect sometime after March 1, due to the need to employ additional staff members and install additional security equipment.
Based on a proposal by the Associated Women Students (AWS) the policy will be basically as proposed with a few modifications.
According to Nicholas D. Gennett, dean of students, a “sizeable minority” of girls polled last semester indicated that they wanted either weekend only visitation or no visitation at all.
--------- — This calls for the establishment of three distinct programs within the women's facilities. These are: 1) visitation during specific, limited hours on a 7-day a week basis; 2) visitation on a weekend only basis; and 3) no visitation privileges whatsoever.

UM Security Officers	,
Continuing Pursuit Of Crime
By KINGSLEY RUSH
Of The Hurricane Staff
I couldn’t understand what the dispatcher was saying but when the Dodge pulled around and began throwing rocks as it took off, I knew we had to be after a mad killer or at least a gang of rapists.
The officer said something was going on at the 68 Complex. Forsaking the normal roadways in an attempt to save time we took to walking paths. A few couples scattered when they saw the headlights and were probably wondering what the hell the car was doing on their right of way.
Before the car had completely stopped the officer jumped out and headed for the lobby doors. I followed at a safe distance. Before I reached the doors another car pulled up with two other security people hopping out and rushed to back up their comrade who was already inside.
I entered the lobby and my spirit lagged. My “corpse” waSh’t laid out on the floor but was standing by the front desk holding a cloth over a wound which was more of a scratch.
Shortly one of the officers walked over to me and explained the situation to me.“Looks like an intramural fight,” he said.
Trying not to laugh I followed two of the officers who were now in pursuit of the person who had been on the opposite end of the right hook.
We took the elevator to the eighth floor and immediately found the culprit in his room.
I eavesdropped in on the conversation and caught a few phrases.
“Well, there was a football game.”
“Yes, you have the right to file a counter-complaint.”
"No, there is no charge against you now.”
We filed back to the elevator and rode down to the lobby. My officer motioned
to me to leave with him. The other two officers would complete the investigation. As we walked back to the car he said something that fit with everything I had just seen.
“I left my nightstick and flashlight in the car. I hope
they’re still there,” he said.
The preceding episode was the highlight of my night with the campus police on patrol. At least it was the most exciting.
Even though that encounter sounded more lljffe the Keystone Kops than the
Kampus Kops a few things
did impress me.
From the time the officer received the call and walked into the lobby of the dorm, only 58 seconds had elapsed.

SBG:
Floating
By ED LANG
Of The Hurricane staff
As of Monday, the Student Body Government (SBG) senate will be known as the floating government because meetings in the future will be held in different dormitories.
SBG Vice-President Sami Burstyn said that the first floating meeting will be Monday, February 14 at 4 p.m. in the Great Lounge of Mahoney Hail and that in the next few weeks, will reach every dormitory.
“We realize that in the past the student body hasn’t shown much interest in student government,” he said, “so we feel that if the students can’t come to us, we’ll come to them. We want to show the students what we accomplish and we want the students to become more aware of SBG.''
Burstyn was asked if in the past SBG’s senate has been torn with members having different political interests and working against each other rather than for one common cause.
“To an extent this has been true,” Burstyn said. “But if the students witness some of the absurdities that go on, the senators might wise up and work together.”
Besides the Monday 4 p.m. meeting, Burstyn also proposed that the commuter students set up a tenant’s union in modified form. “Many of the students who want to live off campus get ripped off by landlords who leech students,” he said. “I want a tenant’s union where the students work through a real estate agency directly instead of landlords.”
The proposed plan would entail having a real estate agency available to the students and that they would find a proper apartment or house for the student for only a nominal charge, probably 10% of the first month’s rent.
The proposal will go before the senate Monday for discussion.
Burstyn also announced that steps are being finalized on the legal aid program.
Women residents will be polled next week as to which of the three, “life styles” they prefer, in order to determine which areas will be devoted to daily, weekend only and no visitation, Gennett said.
“Girls don't have to move, but if they want to, they will have the opportunity,” he added.
He said that the areas where the largest number of girls do not wish to have seven day a week visitation will be set aside for the other two programs. This is to inconvenience the smallest number of girls possible.
“This is in keeping with the provision built into the proposal that students would decide the areas that would be designated for the different types of visitation,” Gennett said.
One of the changes that must be made before the new policy can go into effect is the securing of the fire doors so that they cannot be kicked open- as they have been in the men’s towers.
Another change is the initiation of a monitoring system, requiring the hiring and training of 10 new staff members to act as monitors.
“Probably the toughest part of gearing up this whole thing is the identification and training of monitors,” Gennett said.
“I feel that if the monitoring system doesn’t work, there will be no visitation,” he said.
The monitoring system consists basically of girls leaving their ID’s at the main desk before they escort men to their rooms, and picking them up when they return.
“The thing that has to be stressed here is the security issue, namely theft, not the moral issue,” said Gennett.

Dr. Spock Denounces Vietnam War
By DEBBIE SAMUELSON
Of Th« Hurricane Staff
Dr. Benjamin Spock, stand-in candidate for the Peoples Party, and well known pediatrician, spoke at the UM Rock this past Monday, while on tour of South Florida.
Speaking on Vietnam, Spock said that the war is npt slightly illegal or slightly immoral, but the dirtiest war ever fought.
Spock said he had worked for President Johnson in 1964 because he ran as the peace candidate, but it was only a few months later that the war was escalated.
“This led me to believe we needed a new party,” he said.
Spock said men who had avoided the draft should not be given amnisty because they are not guilty of any crime.
Concerning the lack of effective pollution control, Spock said it is due to the strong financial connection between the two major parties and big business.
“We have had anti-pollution laws years before pollution became popular, but they were never enforced because of industry's great influence in the Democratic and Republican parties,” he said.
“Industq^should not be occupied sole-
ly and unequivocably with making profit, if you divide up industry into neighborhood sizes as you divide up a community, there could be a board of directors, so consumers can say they want better quality goods instead of quantity, and there would be more creativity in work for workers.
Spock said that he is for the democratizing of unions and that many union leaders are involved with party bosses.
“The present economic policy is not effective,” he added.
"We think the present economic policy is a fraud. Neither the Republican nor Democratic parties are very smart. The Democratic party put it on the books to make Nixon look bad, and neither party is humanity-minded,” Spock said.
Spock said that the economic policy discriminates against worker’s wages more than against prices.
The Peoples Party will hold their convention right after the Democratic Convention on Miami Beach for ail those who are dissatisfied with the Democrat's selection.
Spock said of his own indictment for conspiracy that the government will prosecute anyone who criticizes them.
“The government is ruthless in prosecuting those who are against their policies,’’^ said.

The Board of Trustees have approved the redistribution of the student activity fee fieldhouse fund in accordance with the December referendum.
The passage of the referendum and subsequent approval by the Board of Trustees will make funds available for several Student Body Government projects, student services and organizations which otherwise might be unable to function.
Funds will be made immediately available for the development of a professional legal aid program, for the establishment of a continuous drug prevention and rehabilitation program, and for voter registration and electorial information programs, all under student government.
Radio station WVUM, the Open Door, and the SBG faculty evaluation program will also receive their allocations.
The Board of Publications (Hurricane, Ibis, and Truck) will meet next week to review and decide upon the distribution of the funds they will receive.
The balance of the field-house fund fee will not be dropped permanently from the student activity fee as proposed in the referendum, but instead will be used to offset a $30,000 deficit incurred by the 1970-71 Board of Publications.
After the deficit is paid off, the $.70 unallotted portion of the fieldhouse fund will be used at the discretion of the’ Student Activity Fee Allocation Committee to allocate monies to other areas of need.
•‘The repayment of the $30,000 will be speeded up so that as I see it, it won’t take three years to pay it off,” Dr. William Butler, Vice President for Student Affairs said.
“I’m really hopeful that the Hurricane will be able to end the year on a balanced budget," Dr. Butler continued.
These allocations will continue each year. SAFAC will be able to increase the money in all areas, but will not have the power to decrease it.
No action has been taken yet concerning the initiation of a 24-hour study center in the library for thctVwo weeks prior to, and including the

week of final exams. The proposal first must be re-viewed by Dr. Archie Me Neal, Director of libraries, Dr. Armin Gropp, Vice President for Academic Affairs, and the budget committee.
The question that would continue to allow freshmen to maintain cars on campus was defeated in the referendum, but was upheld by the cabinet.
According to Mr. William Mcl.aughlin, UM Business Manager, starting next semester, freshmen will he issued special parking decals, which would permit them to park only in restricted lots on the fringe areas of the campus.
This hopefully, will alleviate the congestion of the central campus parking lots, Mcl.aughlin said.
