Two Entertainment Committee Seats Often
Students Vie For 16 Senate Positions
By JOHN OUDENS
N*ws Writer
Undergraduate Student Body Government (USBG) elections wiil be held this Monday and Tuesday, Oct. 27 and 28, to fill 18 positions in 12 separate races. Thirty-three students have filed as candidates with the UM Election Commission.
A unique aspect of this fall's elections is that two separate student parties have sponsored candidates in most of the races. According to Brenda Hardy, chairman of the Election Commission, there were no parties involved in the fall elections until last year, when the SUN (Stu-
dents’ Ultimate Needs) ticket enter-edcandidates for most of the open seats.
This fall’s elections mark the first time that two tickets — SUN and CAUSE (Communicating Among Undergraduate Students Effectively) — have candidates running.
“The spring elections are always a really big deal — that's when we elect the president, vice president, and treasurer," Hardy said. But this fall, “people are really going out and making (the fall electionsl important.”
According to Alan Rubin, USBG president, the involvement of two tickets in the fall elections is anoth-
er example of the recently increasing interest among.UM students in student affairs.
“There has been a growing interest in student government because of a lot of the things we’ve been working on,” Rubin said. “For the last two years, freshmen and sophomores have shown a greater interest in getting involved."
Rubin expressed hope for a continuing rise in student involvement. "Hopefully, the age of the apathetic student is coming to an end," he said.
Most of the positions have al least two students running. The Student Entertainment Committee
(SEC), the Freshman class, and Un-Sophomore class, each have two seats which will be decided
The rest of the races are for the right to represent the student residential areas. The 1968 Complex. 960 Complex, Mahoney-Pearson Complex, Eaton Hall, apartment area, and fraternity row each have one seat open; the three off-campus areas — north, south and central — each have two seats open
The CAUSE ticket has sponsored 14 candidates in nine races for a possible 13 seats. SUN has put up 13 students in nine races for a possible 12 seats. There are also six independents running in three races.
Only the races for fraternity row . off-campus north, and off-campus central Senate seats have candidates who are running unopposed The 33 students who will appear on next week's ballots filed signed petitions with the Election Commission by the Oct. 17 deadline; no other names will appear on the ballots. However, voting students will be able to write in their own choices, if they wish
Voting will take place in the Student Union Breezeway, next Monday and Tuesday between 9 a m. and 5 p.m. Any student with a valid UM I.D. card is eligible to vote All students may vote for the
open SEC seats However, only freshmen and sophomores may vote for the seats in their respective classes; also, each student may only vote for the Senate seat representing his or her residential area

Victorious candidates wil assume their duties beginning with the Student Senate meeting on Wednesdav at 4 p.m in room 226 of the Student Union. Armando Rodriguez, speaker of the Senate, will swear in the new senators. The meeting is open to all students.
Does
Term
Law Limit Paper Sales?

Next time you go to the Richter Library, make sure you bring your student I D. The library is now requiring that all persons wishing to enter the building display their UM I.D. According to Frank Rodgers, director of libraries, this has always been library policy, but had not been enforced. However, high school and community college students, and others not from UM had been using the library, which, said Rodgers, "put a strain on the availability of materials."

In the past, students who did not have the time or desire to write a term paper could, quite legally, purchase a paper written by someone else.
The Miami Herald ran an article on buying term papers in the April 6, 1980, edition of Tropic Magazine. This article prompted State Representative Virginia Rosen to submit a bill which made the sale of research papers unlawful, and required that criminal charges be brought against any person or company who sold such materials.
According to Rosen, who was Assistant Dean for the UM School of Education from 1972 to 1974, the bill became law on Oct. 2, 1980. The text of the bill is as follows;
It,.shall be unlawful for any person or business entity to sell, oiler to sell, or advertise for sale, any term paper, thesis, dissertation, essay, re port, or any other written, recorded, pictorial, artistic, or other assign ment which the seller or advertiser knew, or reasonably should have known, was intended for submis sion by a student, unaltered by any substantial degree, in fullfillment for the requirements for a degree, diplo ma, certificate, or course of studs.
Business School Dedicated Monday
By JOHN OUDENS
ttewi Writer
Dedication ceremonies were held Monday afternoon for the George W. Jenkins Building and the Elsa and William H. Stubblefield Building, the new structures which house the UM School of Business Administration.
More than 400 persons attended the ceremonies, which were held under a large canopy outside the buildings.
Speaking at the ceremony were Dr. Clark Kerr, president emeritus of the University of Califonia. who gave the keynote address; and Luther H. Hodges, Jr„ deputy secretary of the U.S. Department of Commerce. Kerr was awarded an honorary Doctor of Laws Degree during the ceremonies.
Also on hand were. UM President Henry King Stanford; Gary M. Walton, dean of the business school; George W. Jenkins, UM trustee and executive committee chairman, and founder of Publix Super Markets, Inc.; and Glen Bludworth, representative of the estate of Elsa and William H. Stubblefield
Stanford welcomed guests, and acknowledged Jenkins and Biud-worth. Jenkins' 1977 gift of $2.5 million accounts for nearly half of the new buildings' projected final conduction costs. The Stubblefield estate donated approximately $2 million toUMin 1978.
In introducing Kerr, Walton called him the "principal spokesman for all of higher education in the United States."
Kerr began his speech by noting the recent climb of UM in national collegiate rankings. He explained that, while serving as chairman of the Carnegie Commission on Higher Education 10 years ago, he found, "somewhat to my surprise,” that UM ranked first in the Southeast, and 28th in the nation, in the amount of research money it received each year from the federal government.
Kerr also noted that UM, while under the leadership of Stanford, has increased its total money supply “six times over." UM has made "great advances,” he said, “and you should be proud of them.”
Kerr observed that the business school buildings are opening at the “fight place" and the “right time.” He explained that while most areas of the U.S. are likely to experience a. substantial "demographic depression” in the next 20 years, Florida is one of few areas which could possibly see increases in population growth.
In addition, the opening of the buildings comes at a time when the U.S. faces a possible “skill gap” in technical and business fields, Kerr said. He cited recent declines in test scores and college enrollment.
The possiblity of a gap occurs at at time when the U.S. has been losing its strong international economic position, said Kerr. Thus, he believes a “school for skills" in Florida is especially important.
Kerr concluded his speech by outlining four "special emphases” to be followed by schools of business: the training of leadership, the managing of people, the spreading of principles and skills throughout all facets of higher education, and the need to pay attention to the international aspect of business competition.
F'ollowing the conferring of Kerr’s degree, Hodges spoke briefly on the current international economic situation, stressing the need for productivity, competitiveness.
and a sense of innovation, self-reliance, and energy in today's international business world
The businessmen of America must be "prepared to meet the future on its own terms,” Hodges said, and “schools of business must teach students to think internationally."
Hodges also stressed the need for alliance and partnership between business and government.
The dedication ceremonies concluded with Stanford’s opening of the new buildings. As Stanford made his official dedication, he displayed a new montage photograph, which shows the business school complex from three different angles.
The complex, which consists of the V-shaped Jenkins Building fronted by the Stubblefield Classroom Building, contains five stories of offices, lounges, and regular and amphitheater-type classrooms.

This section shall not prevent any person or educational institution from providing tutorial assistance research materiul. information, or courses in research or writing, un less this service includes u prepuru tion. research, or writing of a report or paper as outlined in subsection one. No person shull be prevented by this section from selling or offer ing to sell services which include ihe typing, assembling, transcrip tion. reproduction, or editing of a manuscript or other assignment prepared by the purchaser.
Rosen, however, feels that the new law is not tough enough.
According to Phil Manniotti, assistant to the Dade County state attorney, the under the current law selling a research paper to be used for academic credit is a second-degree misdemeanor, which carries a penalty of 60 days imprisonment, and/or a fine of $500
A UM student, at the request of the Hurricane, went to Scholastic Research, Inc., and purchased, for the standard price of $3 per page, a five-page research paper. Before purchasing the paper, a saleswoman required the student to sign a release form.
According to Alan Landau, owner of Scholastic Research, having customers sign a release has always been a company policy; however, Landau stated that "now it's mandatory.”
When the student asked about this release, the saleswoman laughed and said. "Yes. it (the paper pur chased| is for research only." But the salesman there emphasized that the release was for the protection of the company only; the student could do anything he wished with the paper.
The paper the student purchased had "UM" and "EIU" written on the upper left-hand corner of the first page. The salesman informed the student that this meant the paper had previously been purchased by students from UM and Florida International University But the student was told not to worry, because the paper had been used at UM last semester
"Everybody knows what's going on. but how are you going to stop it?” asked Manniotti He said that the new law has a loophole in it, and that “apparently Scholastic Research has used this loophole '
This “loophole" makes prosecution difficult The State Attorney's office would have to prove that Scholastic Research Inc., or any other person or company that sells research papers, knew that the student turned in the purchased paper for academic credit
Manniotti added that it is very difficult to successfully prosecute this type of case unless faculty or students from a university call and complain.
Manniotti stressed that the existence of the loophole in the law may be good, because the First Amendment guarantees the freedom to publish materials
COM 218 Students Work With The President
By JASON HAIKARA
Assistant Entertainment Editor
Frazer White’s COM 218 (Analysis of Current Political and Social Communications) class attended President Jimmy Carter’s town meeting on Tuesday, Oct. 21, at Miami Edison High School.
White felt the students could benefit from experiencing firsthand the concepts they had learned in class lectures and discussions.
The last time COM 218 was offered was in the fall of 1976. In that class, White had a student named Lilliana Davison. The course material so interested her that she became involved in politics, and is now a member of Carter's staff.
When White heard Carter was coming to Miami he called Davison. His goal was getting the class into the meeting; he did not know that they were actually going to meet the president.
Davison had all interested students fill out ballots which were printed in the Miami Herald. Then, every student was assigned responsibilities in working on Carter's arrival inMiami.
On the Sunday before the meeting, two students were assigned to work with White House press secretary Jody Powell, four students were' scheduled to assist in getting the press in and out of their buses.
two were scheduled to work at the Sheraton River House, and one was assigned to help at the high school.
Sunday night, the Carter staff scheduled an information meeting for those helping out Tuesday. Those students who attended were shown the routes the buses would be taking, and the general set-up of the town meeting.
Carter aide Gail Perkey made sure that all arrangements were followed, and that the students would have no confusion about what they were supposed to do.
By Tuesday, all responsibilities were assigned. Three of the four students scheduled to work at the airport actually showed up. They were greeted by Tom Dorman, the head of security, who cleared up any confusion that might have existed.
Two students were given the task of working with the advance press bus — the bus that would leave immediately from the airport to the high school. One student worked the bus that would be part of the president's motorcade. Their main responsibility was to make sure that the bus drivers had their instructions straight — a preventative measure to ensure that the time schedule would be closely followed
