Physical Fitness A group of 100 boys and girls
will participate again this summer in an eight-week physical fitness program at UNM.
Professor William Bynum, who directs the program, urged parents interested in having their children participate in the spm·tsfitness education ~·egimcn to apply early because the progTam will be closed after the Jhst 100 children are enrolled.
Instruction will be given each Monday, Tuesday, Thursday, and Friday afternoon, from June 16 through August 8. In addition, each child will spend several Wednesday afternoons in UNM's Human Pedo1·manee Laboratory for specialized fitness and endurance testing.
Boys and girls nine through 13 years old are eligible for participation.
Tuition for the course is $65. Applications should be sent to W. A. Bynum, 182 Johnson Gymnasium, UNM.

it. one thing hasn't changed. It's still straight. And your face still isn't. It's round. The new Norelco Triple·
header gets around this problem. We put our unique rotory
blades into three floating heads that follow your face by going in where your face goes in. And out where your face goes out.
This way the new Norelco gets close enough to shave you as close or closer than a blade. As found
in two out of three shaves in an independent lab test.
And you get a comfortable shave because the Norelco floating heads curvew1lh your chin, bend with your neck. and even straighten out for
your cheeks. Automatically. And with· out a nick, pull or scrape.
The new Norelco has a hidden trimmer that pops out for sideburns, and a push button ior easy f!ip·top cleaning. It also comes in a recharge· able model that gives almost twice as many shaves per charge as any other rechargeable.
We can't sec you changing the shape of your face.
But we can sec you changing to Norclco.
Mreko you can't get any closer

By SANDRA SCHAUER
The Mirage and Thunderbird editors for 196!J-70 were selected last night by the UNM Student Publications board.
Lynn Hudson, a junior comparative literature major, was named the new Mirage editor, and Bill Pike, a junior speech major, was named as the new Thunderbird editor.
Miss Hudson was the Thunderbird editor this year and was among five applicants for the Mirage editorship. Pike was among four applicants for the Thunderbird editorship.

a complete re-examination of the yearbook next year.

'Making Something'
The United Mexican-American Students (UMAS) plan to present their charges of discrimination against Mexican-American employees of UNM's physical plant to the faculty at their next meeting, said Arturo Sandoval, UMAS spokesman.
Sandoval said the group will also attempt to include their charges on the agenda of Saturday's meeting of the Board of Regents.
Faculty Committee UMAS will ask the faculty to
set up an investigating committee to probe the alleged discrimination. "Before the whole faculty we are going to prove the need for an investigation," Sandoval said.
"We know we can prove this," he said, "and we will ask the faculty committee not to make recommendations, but demands."
Sandoval said a group of UMAS members met with UNM President Ferrel Heady on Friday to get a statement from him on the issue. Sa11doval described Heady's attitude toward the UMAS demands as "arrogant." "For all practical purposes he told us to go jump in the lake," said Sandoval.
"UMAS has absolutely no con-
fidence in Heady as president of this University, none what so ever," Sandoval said. "He can't deal with things impartially." Sandoval feels UMAS showed its reasonableness when it gave Heady a whole week to respond to their charges.
Heady said he will issue a statement on the discrimination charges, "by the middle of this week.'' Heady is also scheduled to speak on the matter at Tuesday's faculty meeting.
Sandoval said if the faculty r~; •· fuses the request for an investigation, UMAS will turn to direct action. "And by this I don't exclude the possibility of violence," he said. Sandoval said that UMAS, as a group, is united on this issue.
Sandoval said UMAS doesn't really "hate" Myron Fifield, director of UNM's physical plant. "We don't even know him," Sandoval said. "Everybody suffers when someone is discriminated against, even those who are doing the discriminating."
Fifield, when asked by The I.obo to comment on the UMAS charges, said, "We feel that we have treatf'd everyone fairly and we challenge anyone to prove otherwise."
Black Panther leader To Talk
\
Black Panther Minister of defense Bobby Seale, and Bob Mandell will appear in the Union Ballroom Wednesday at 7 p.m.
Mandell was among 250 arrested at a draft demon-stration in Oakland, Calif. in October, 1967. One of the "Oakland Seven," Mandell was charged with planning to disrupt the Selective Service. He and six others were
acquitted in Oakland in March. Seale was . one of the co-founders of the militant
Black Panthers. Seale, Bobby Hutton, and Huey Newton started the group, Hutton is dead, and Newton is currently serving a prison term in Chlifornia.
Acting UNM SDS chairman Mike Colvin said the pur- I pose of Scale and Mandell's visit is "not necessarily to speak to the entire student body, but to get together with radical student groups and help them in any way."

UNM Pl'esident Ferrel Heady said yesterday he has found no evidence to substantiate charges made by United Mexican-American Students (UMAS) of discrimination in the Physical Plant.

The statement reported the grievance system has not been used since it was put into effect in September, 1968.

Heady also said "no evidence of coercion or intimidation of employees who seek to better their conditions has been presented."
"The chal'ge that ten employees have been summarily discharged from the Physical Plant department in the last several weeks has

"Content" To Wait
UMAS charged two weeks. ago that Myron Fifield, director of the Physical Plant, had discriminated against Mexican-American employees. They also charged that the grievance system in the plant "worked against those employees with legitimate grievances," said an UMAS statement.
Discrimination Accusations Against Fifield Void
UMAS spokesman Arturo Sandoval said UMAS is "content" to wait until they can present their charges to the faculty at their next m e e t i n g, and "prove the charges.''
He also said the charges will be presented to the Regents at their Saturday meeting, but only "to let them know that we have made charges," said Sandoval.

that if additional information is submitted to him by UMAS or other parties, he will take it u11'der consideration.
Heady said one employee has been fired since January.

Finance Committee Limits Funds Use 1n
•
A bill which would prohibit the use of student government funds for activities in which Brigham Young University (BYU) is a sponsor or best was given a "do pass" recommendation by the Student Senate Finance Committee last night.
The bill, sponsored by Sam Johnson, wo1.:ld not affect any use of funds already allocated in the current budget, but would restrict futuro use of funds. In addition, athletic department adivities would not be affected since their funds arc allocated from different sources.
Dissenting Vote The committee's recommendation on the bill came
on a 2-1 vote with Doug MacCurdy casting the dissenting vote. The bill will come before the full Student Senate tonight.
MacCurdy, in voting against the bill, explained that he was not in favor of "continued relations" with BYU, but that he believed the bill might preclude even discussing "the problem (the racial practices of BYU) with them.''
"Suppose BYU hosted a national convention of NSA (National Student Association) or that they opened their minds up and invited everyone there to discuss their problem. We couldn't go," Mac-
BYU Events Curdy told the committee.
Johnson countered that "if BYU did open their minds up the student government probably would not have to give anyone any money since the Black Students Union would probably send someone anyway.''
MarCurdy also told the committee that a recent referendum on a plan to cease all activities with BYU had been defeated by the student body. Senator Carol Lazorik, l10wever, said that the defeat of the referendum was due to the fact that not> enough students knew about it before the election.
800 Votes "Despite this, the referendum still got 800 votes
and only another 100 or 150 voted against it," she said.
In urging the committee to give a "do pass" recommendation to his bill, Johnson said that "we (Student Senate) are condoning racism if we keep relations. We must begin somewhere and this could be the first step.
"As a result of Student Senate's earlier vote to break off relations with BYU we have received support from students at BYU and UTEP. We should follow that action up," he said.
