Band Will Not Go To Gainesville
By SHARON HINSON
News Writer
As part of the effort to reduce the athletics department’s budget deficit, the University's Band Of The Hour will not make the trip to Gainesville for the last football game of the season, UM President Henry King Stanford said Friday.
"It’s a financial problem,” he said. "Expenditures are under control, but we are not realizing the revenues we anticipated."
Last year’s deficit for the department was approximately $1.55 million, according to David A. Lieberman, vice president for Financial Affairs. Lieberman said the budgeted deficit for thjj yearTS $ 1.3 million.
Stanford noted that the deficit figure for last year includes "the full tuition cost provided to men's and women's intercollegiate athletics, including the band."
Lieberman indicated that athletic department has been taking cost-cutting measures, including a reduction in the size of its staff. The decision not to send the band to the Nov. 29 game against the University of Florida Gators was made by the President's Office before this semester, Lieberman said.
“I was told at the beginning of the year that we weren’t going to go |to Gainesville|,” said Dr. William Russell, director of bands. Russell estimated that sending the band to Gainesville would cost $13,000.
Because of the football team's early season success and the surge in school spirit, the department told him that the decision could be reversed, Russell said. He added that Head Football Coach Howard Schnellenber-ger wanted the band to make the trip.
Last Tuesday, the band was informed that it would not be going to the game, Russell said.
"1 can't imagine how in anybody's wildest dreams we could send the band to Gainesville," Lieberman said. “It’s my understanding that the athletic director |Dr. Harry Mallios|, the band director, and the football coach knew there was no money to go to Gainesville."
Many band members were disappointed, and a few angry, at the decision to cancel the trip.
Russell explained that the band only goes on one trip each year, usually to Gainesville. The decision means that it will not be making any trips this year, he aaid.
"The band has traditionally gone to Gainesville,” Russell said, noting that the trip can be made by bus. He observed that many schools in the Midwest can send their bands to road games by bus, because the distances are not great.
However, most of the schools on UM’s football schedule are so far away from Miami that the Hurricanes must travel by plane, he said.
“Geography does work against us," Russell said. He said air travel for the band would be too expensive.
Band member Randy Cash said, “The whole attitude of the band is that we’ve been stabbed in the back. The band gave so much and helped so much to turn school spirit around.”
“I'm upset," said Kip Sullivan, another band member.
Band member Ivy LeVine said she understands why the band cannot make the trip, but, she said, "I feel it's very unfortunate.”
Several members of the band said they were unhappy because the athletic department did not make the final decision until Tuesday.
According to LeVine, many members had delayed plans for Thanksgiving. The uncertainty about whether the band would make the trip was an inconvenience for University of Florida officials because they could not plan their Homecoming show, she said.
LeVine estimated that “fifteen to 20 band members are going to the game anyway” to act as a cheering section.
Russell said that, in effect, the University has not paid for a band trip since the trip to Gainesville two years ago.
Last year, the band accompanied the football team on its trip to the Mirage Bowl in Tokyo, Japan. Miami's opponent was the University of Notre Dame.
Stanford said each school received $195,000 plus expenses from the Japanese sponsor to send the team and the band to Japan. This money was used to cover part of the athletic deficit, he said.
According to Lieberman, the money came from Tele Planning International. Inc. "The contract originally provided for only 100 band members," he said. The University raised money to send the rest of the band, partly through donations from such groups as the Dade Coun-

Said Lectured On The Palestinians
.. . hr criticized U.S. Midcast policy

"Eight hundred thousand to one million Palestinians left Palestine ... and it is this conflict of Arab-Asian people pitted against a largely European people that started the |present-day| conflict,” said Dr. Edward Said, during Thursday’s lecture on U.S foreign policy and Palestinian self-determination. Said's lecture was followed by a ques-tion-and-answer period, in- which he had several heated exchanges with members of the audience.
Said is a professor of English and comparative literature at Columbia University. The lecture was sponsored by Lecture Series in conjunction with the Council of International Students and Organizations (COISO).
"As far as I’m concerned, it |the lecture j is not political. It is good for the students to know what is going on,” said Ushar Rajkumar, president of COISO.
Rabbi Mark Kram, director of UM's Hillel Jewish Student Center, was disappointed with the lecture. “I don’t feel that it is in the best interest of the University to bring to campus a card-carrying member of a terrorist organization |the Palestine National Council |,” he said.
After an introduction by Jacques Moritz, chairman of Lecture Series, Said opened his lecture by outlining the 20th Century history of the Arab-Israeli conflict. Said stated that, after World War I, European Jews began immigrating to the area now known as Israel. This, Said said, caused many thousands of Palestinians to leave Palestine.
Said continued his discussion by criticizing America's political
Amendments Bring Changes To Financial Aid Program
By ELIZABETH BABUN
News Writer
The department of Student Financial Aid Services I make major changes in UM’s financial aid program i result of the Educational Amendments of I960, said laid A. Hammond, director of the department. According to Hammond, some provisions took effect . 1. Other provisions will not be effective until Jan. 1 later, he said, because some implemented rules are I in the process of being written.
“This change has to do with inflation in our econo-, which places pressure on families to meet the cost iducation." Hammond said.	,
Hammond stated that approximately 60 percent of I’s student population receives financial aid. 1 ex-t we will have more students qualifying for various ms of aid, and more students applying, he said. I -e no guarantee the University will receive ample al-ations for the funding.”	_ . .
Since the amendments were passed under Carter s ninistration, Hammond speculates that some changes 1 be made by the new president. "It would be diffi-t for President|-Elect| Reagan to cancel all of the

amendments, |but| he may try to alter certain portions,” he said.
To be eligible to receive financial aid. a student must maintain a satisfactory grade point average and must earn at least 12 credits per semester, Hammond pointed out.
"The students should indicate family expenses in filling out their financial aid application," said Hammond. “Even though income may increase, the family expenses must be taken into consideration.
"I have the final say. A student can make the necessary adjustments with me," he said.
“Most of the changes expand opportunities for students to receive financial aid," said Hammond. For example, the Basic and Supplemental Educational Opportunity Grants (SEOG and BEOG) now allow students to receive funds as long as they are enrolled and are mak ing satisfactory academic progress. In the past, students could only receive funds for four years, Hammond said.
The following is a list of the major changes in Title IV Student Aid Programs for 1981-82 as a result of the amendments:

stance in the Mideast today.
"The candidates | Carter and Reagan | saluted Israel with unrestrained enthusiasm. Israel is considered to be a bastion of democracy and a state beleaguered by terrorism, communism, and anti-Americanism," Said said. “The problem with this is that the Palestinians were passed over in silence."
According to Said, the July 22, 1980, annexation by Israel, recent punishments of Arab-Palestinian villages within Israel's borders, and the Israeli plunges into Lebanon during 1979 and 1980, were all ignored by the candidates during the presidential campaign.
He declared that President-Elect Reagan will “soon have to come to grips with the situation in the Middle East.” Said is particulary concerned with the current situation involving Israel’s annexation of the Golan Heights. He said that Israel's plan is to continue what was done with East Jerusalem.
"The Israelis' plan is to expel 700,000 to 800,000 Palestinians from Israel,” said Said. “The best Palestinian, as far as the Israelis are concerned, is a deported Palestinian."
Said stated that Israel's military is making plans to take advantage of "the interim situation” brought about by the conclusion of the presidential campaign. He feels that, due to Carter’s new lack of power, Israel now sees a chance to conquer Lebanon.
He went on to say that “risks for an all-out war with Israel are quite real. Some people in Israel see a war | with Lebanon and other Arab countries | as in Israel’s best interests.
“Israel’s idea is that peace should be solved through war. They |Israelis) feel that both banks of the Jordan should belong to Israel.”
Said then turned to the fact that Israel and the U.S. have not decided upon the basis for a peace settlement, whereas the European nations have. There is disagreement, Said said, among members of Congress, over whether the Palestinian Liberation Organization (PLO) should be the representative of all Palestinian people.
Said's next point dealt with the U.S. views of the Palestinian people, and the formation of Israel in 1948. "Before modernization, the U.S.' thought that Arabs lived in a centuries-past world. Israel was considered to be a modern country, and the Arabs seemed not to have had much of an existence. The American [way of| thinking was that Palestinians would either modernize or go away.
“Israel easily appeared to be a bastion of modern democracy. [The American | people forgot that a majority of people from the area were Arabs. Israel was a way of continuing Western hegemony," said Said.
Said concluded with his views of today's treatment of Palestinians by Israelis. He stated that Palestinians See Page 3, Col. 5

Said Wants Change In Autonomy Talks
By MARY CRONIN
News Writer
Hurricane: You mentioned the Israeli Peace Movement during the lecture; perhaps you'd like to talk about it.
Said: What I was referring to was a number of things. First of all. there is something called the "Peace Now” movement. It’s a large group of individuals who have agitated in Israel against the government policies, chiefly on the West Bank and Gaza.
That’s only part of the movement; there are other parts of the movement represented by a small party called Shelli, which is more focused than the "Peace Now" movement, which is a large grouping of miscellaneous people.
The Shelli party has two seats in the Knesset, and they come out very openly and specifically for the establishment of a Palestinian state, Israeli withdrawal, and so on and so forth. They are part of this growing peace movement.
The Rakah party, which is the Israeli communist party, is made up of both Palestinians and Israelis. That also is a peace party. Then there are groups and individuals, like the Israeli League for Human Rights, which agitate for Palestinian rights. All this together makes the Israeli Peace Movement.
Hurricane: What do you think
our position |U.S. policy| is going to be in the future? What would you like to see happen?
Said: Well, I would like to see some change in the autonomy talks. In other words, I think the autonomy talks have really reached an end. I don’t think that they are ever going to get off the ground.
They [the talks| haven't been able to solve the differences between Egypt and Israel, for one,, they haven’t been able to solve the differences between Israel and the U.S. government, and they haven’t involved, and have made no plans to involve the Palestinians.
So. I’d like to see that framework changed for one that is more realistic and deals with the actualities on the ground That is to say, a framework that would involve the Palestinians directly, if necessary through the involvement of other Arab states, like Jordan and Saudi Arabia. I think that is the best thing that could happen in the coming |Reagan | administration.
On the other hand, there is the likelihood that since there are members of the Reagan camp who believe that Israel should be strengthened. therefore the whole notion of Palestinian autonomy and Palestinian rights should be scrapped. That's a very strong possibility, so I think that one of the major struggles that will take place in the early days of the Reagan administration is how , See Page $, Col. 4	«
