You study where you can. This student allegedly (heh, heh) took to this ledge on Pearson Hall to find peace and quiet. The American flag — though we respect it dearly — means nothing here.

Stay Cool: Student Union Gets New AC Next Week
By SHARON HINSON
News Writer
Cool air should be back in the second floor offices of the Student Union by the first of next week, thanks to a new air conditioning unit.
Workers have installed the unit and need only hook it up so cool air can waft through the offices, said Clarence Lefler, director of UM’s Physical Plant
This is the first part of a two-step plan to replace the air conditioning on the Union's second floor. This first step replaced the unit cooling the offices surrounding the Flamingo Ballroom The second step is to replace the unit cooling the ballroom itself
The International Lounge's unit works better and workers only have to install an exhaust line to improve it. Lefler said Air conditioning there won't have to be turned off for the installation
Crews began demolishing walls and doing other preliminary work around July 1, Lefler said. They were delayed by such events as registration, when they had to work around students
Joe Pineda, director of Student Union activities, said the units were
so large that the old unit had to be disassembled before workers could take it out and the new unit disassembled before they could put it in
All this work was needed. Pineda said, because the ' system was very wasteful as well as very uncomfortable | and | it's steadily gotten worse."
Usually it was either too cold or too hot on the second floor, depending on what part of the building you were in
The first floor has the same problem, but not as badly. Pineda said
Four or five years ago. the Union was told that the system — the building’s original system — was getting old and wouldn't be able to handle all the people. Pineda said.
But they never had money to fix it until now, he said. The University put out bids for the project last spring and awarded the contract to Sam L. Hamilton Inc.
“We felt the real problems we were having were upstairs, in the offices and meeting rooms," Pineda said. The downstairs system isn’t as efficient as they would like, said Pineda, but it's not as bad as upstairs, either.
Oliver Bonnert, vice president of business affairs, said the money for the project came from a reserve
fund for maintenance, a fund which has been building up since the union was completed in the mid-fiOs.
"If we do not get all these improvements |done| from the reserve fund." said Bonnert, "one of the sources of funds |to complete the project | could come from a bond fund."
UM issued a $17 million bond issue last year. Among other things, this bond issue helped pay for improvements of the Memorial and Merrick buildings, he said
Whether or not any more of the Union air conditioning is replaced depends on what types of funds are available after the second floor is finished. Bonnert said.
Lefler said the contract for the second floor allocated $125.874 for the project.
The University decided to do one unit at a time so that at least part of the second floor would have air conditioning The contractor originally wanted to shut off all second floor air conditioning, but the university refused because it would be too disruptive, Lefler said
While the air conditioning has been turned off, offices on the second floor have been hot. while hall-

Mallios Defends Cancelling Trip

The church is decorated, and the maid of honor and the flower girts are .foody. The priest is woitinp
But there won t be a wedding. The groom has refused to take the bride to the altar — again
Coach Cheryl Holt's carefully groomed girls' volleyball team has been ordered to stay home for the second time this season, two weeks after members of the volleyball team said that Athletic Director Harry Mallios promised them that he would not cancel another trip.
Three weeks ago, the team was scheduled to participate in the Cincinnati Invitational Tournament in Ohio, but because of budgetary considerations. Mallios grounded the team.
The team’s trip to the Jacksonville Invitational Tournament, which will be held in Jacksonville. FI Oct. 30-31, was taken off the schedule Monday
Mallios said he did not cancel the trip — he said he had never approved it in the first place. He also said that he never made any promises to any of the players
Several members of the team said that Mallios said there would be no more canceled trips because the remainder of the schedule was within the state of Florida
"1 do not want to get into an argument with player-athletes, but I never made any promises to them." Mallios said. "I deal only with the coach "
According to Mallios. the controversy dales back to the summer
"I received the Athletic Budget in May." he said. "I reviewed it and sent a memo to the coaches on July I asking them to submit to me a tentative schedule and expenditure for the the year
"1 also asked them not to finalize any plans and ex-pendiUires|including trips| before they met with roe and the budget director
"I also specifically asked them to try and meet with me by July IS," he said.
Volleyball coach Cheryl Holt did not send him a copy of the proposed schedule until the first week of September, he said
"At that time I made it clear to her that the Cincinnati trip could not be approved," said Mallios "I also made it clear to her that we would have to look closely at the some of the other trips down the road and one of them might not be approved."
The budget he received from the coach would exceed the allocated monies by about $8,000. Mallios said. That is even without any cutbacks, he said
"1 have never had to tell anyone in the past that I could not approve a trip.” Mallios said."but after what I had to face last year, I had to do it."
What happened last year was that "several sports ¡including volleyball and basketball| exceeded their budgets by a substantial amount." he said
“As early as March I had to utiliz.e a freeze on two men’s sports and two women's sports." he said, declining to reveal which ones.
He said that he had informed Basketball Coach Lin Dunn that the team will not be going to all of its away games.
Mallios denied charges that he discriminated against women's athletics
He said that he has also informed the men's soccer coach that the team will not be taking the second trip on its schedule
"Volleyball is not the only sport to be affected." he said. "It just that it is the first competitive sport in sea-son	See page 2/MALLlOS
Students Leaders Meet W ith Blood Service Representatives
By GEORGE HAJ
News Writer
Twelve student leaders from the University of Miami met with representatives of the South Florida Blood Service Tuesday to make plans for increasing student participation in blood drives on campus
The students were given a tour of the Blood Service’s facilities, which are part of the Jackson Memorial Hospital,complex. Formerly known as the John Elliot Community Blood Center, the South Florida Blood Service is, except for one hospital, the sole supplier of blood in Dade and Monroe counties and a major supplier in Broward
Dr Bruce Lenes, associate medical director of the Blood Service, spoke of the enormous need for blood in this community.
"We need 400 units |pints| of blood a day, 365 days a year, to meet the needs of the South Florida community," said Lenes.
However. Lenes noted, the residents of South Florida donate less than half the blood that is needed. The remainder of the blood must come from other states, and some of it comes from donors who are paid for their blood — blood which carries a greater risk of hepatitis.
Lenes said: "We are the only major blood center in the United States that is not self-sufficient."
Lenes challenged the assembled student leaders to increase the contribution of the University of Miami.
"In other communities around the United States,” said Lenes, “it has traditionally been the students and young people who take on that responsibility. Up’to 30 percent of the blood given in other blood centers around the United States comes from the student community.
“I don't want to tell you what it is in our area,"said Lenes
If the students don't get involved, he said, “I'm afraid that sometime down the line we won't have enough blood for the patients in South Flori-
dti **
Nearly all of the students here can donate. Donors must simply be in good health, weigh at least 110 pounds, and not have a history of hepatitis. The risk involved in donating blood is non-existent, said Lenes. and the
good it will do for our community is great
The student leaders said that most students are generally apathetic and have priorities other than giving hi,rod, while Jeffrey M. Zirulmck assistant director of student activities said there is little support for such ao tivities among the facul^at U^n,s ^ (herr lo , and part of their learning** learn to be a citizen and part of being a citizen is to give blood."

Bill Mullownev, Undergraduate Student Body Government president, suggested getting a business to sponser a prize that would be given to a donor selected at random.
Zirulnick suggested that the Blood Service "get a lot of good looking doctors and nurses to come to the University of Miami and half the battle will be won "
Blood Service Field Representative Joan Dineen said that she would check whether such a proposal would constitute paid blood, which is not permitted by the Blood Service and wili be illegal in the State of Florida as
of January 1.1983.
The student leaders will be working with the South Florida Blood Service in the weeks to come to co-ordinate the blood drives at the University of Miami and publicize them better so that more students will respond.
Dr Lenes said that "it would be nice to say that the University of Miami did something for a change." to help the people of this community.
The next blood drive, sponsored by the School of Music, is today from 10:30 to 3 p.m in the lobby of Gusman Hall
