Of The Hurricane Staff
UM President Henry King Stanford has answered a Nov. 15 SBG memorandum requesting that he indicate his position in regard to the authority of the president of the university to suspend a student temporarily under the 1970-71 Student Disciplinary Procedures.
The Student Body Government memorandum requested Dr. Stanford to clarify under what circumstances the power of suspension would be invoked.
“I assure you that I view the implementation of temporary suspensions as an extraordinary recourse to be used in response to an extreme situation within the university community ... I do not intend to invoke this authority capriciously,” Stanford said.
The SBG Disciplinary Committee felt that a clanfication was needed as to what constitutes an emergency as stated in the Student Disciplinary Procedures.
«1 do not plan to invdke a temporary suspension unless a situation exists in which a student’s presence on campus con-
stitutes a clear and present danger or the student was involved in material disruption of the work or operations of the university ...” Stanford said.
“We feel that the University should assume the moral and financial burden of allowing a student, who has been suspended and subsequently found innocent, to make up any classwork or examinations missed because of the suspension,” SBG said.
“It is the position of the university that any student who has been subjected to temporary suspension and has subsequently been found innocent, will be permitted to make up any classwork or examinations missed during the period of temporary suspension,” Stanford said.
“When applicable, the university would review each case separately to determine whether any financial loss was incurred by a student as a direct result of a temporary suspension when he is subsequently adjudicated innocent,” he continued.

The President’s Cabinet has denied a request to remove the moratorium on large scale outdoor concerts.
“After careful examination of your proposal, the cabinet decided that the proposal offered inadequate prospects for the solving of those problems which had originally prompted the moratorium decision,” Vice President William Butler wrote to the SBG Concert Series! Committee.
Huge, unmanageable crowds, including many nonuniversity students, abusive drug and alcohol use, traffic and parking, noise, and potential threats to personal safety of students were some of the problems which led to the concert moratorium.
“I am satisfied with the proposals submitted because they include adequate noise and drug control; the big problem remains with crowd control,” SBG president Mark Krasnow said.
“I believe the major reason the proposal was turned down was because of the fear of the large crowd Joan Baez would draw,” he said.
Joan Baez is scheduled to appear at the Miami Marine Stadium on February 5.
The SBG Concert Series Committee, in a letter sent to Stanford on November 22, proposed that 50 professional armed security guards surround the Soccer Field and 70 student marshalls patrol the inside of the field; students would be admitted by tickets issued to those with ID cards; seating would be in roped off sections on a first come first serve basis; field lights would remain on when the music was not; and there would be no “unauthorized solicitation” within the crowd area.
“What annoys me about the rejection letter is that there are all negative, not positive statements, Krasnow said.
“I plan to request from Dr.
Butler and the Cabinet a list of constructive suggestions which we can consider and possibly reach an acceptable compromise,” he said.
According to Krasnow, what is needed now is for the administration to point out specifically what defects were in the USG proposal and what could be done to remedy them.
“There’s a good possibility that the proposal will pass after the Joan Baez concert because the cabinet fears the crowd this preformer draws,” he said.
The decision to reject the proposal to lift the concert moratorium was made in a closed cabinet meeting which Mark Krasnow and Chairman of the SBG Concert Series Committee Sami Burstyn were not allowed to attend.
At a Cabinet meeting three weeks ago where Krasnow and Burstyn presented the proposals, 3 out of 5 Vice presidents and the President were absent.
“Unfortunately, the decision got tied up in politics and was not considered unbi-asedlyj” Krasnow said.
“It’s absurd to think that students can’t hold c&ncerts on the soccer field,” he said.

Task Force
Examines
Goverance
President Stanford’s Task Force for University Governance concluded last week a series of weekly four-hour hearings during which representatives of students, faculty and administration in all schools and divisions of the university have submitted written recommendations and oral arguments for revisions in matters of university governance.
The Task Force is not limiting its advisors to the representatives which they have heard, however, and anyone associated with the University may submit a written recommendation to the committee.
Students, teachers, administrators, and non-academic employees who have complaints about the channels of authority or the systems by which decisions are made are urged to submit their comments in writing to the Secretary of the Task Force, Robert W. Hively, Ashe 201, before January 30, 1971.
During the Spring Term, members of the Task Force will consider oral arguments which have been recorded on 26 hours of tape and more than 500 typewritten pages of comment in an effort to make recommendations for revisions in university gover--nance.
