Woman ‘Bare-ly’ Nabbed

Residents in the laundry room of the 1968 complex were "surprised" to see a naked female running through their lobby Sunday night.
According to Lieutenant Barney Bernard of the UM Public Safety Department, “the girl was a prostitute, and was picked up in a bar by several students from the 1968 Complex. She was not a UM student. We do not know if she was a professional prostitute or not, as we do not know if she took payment |from the students |.”
Bernard said that after the girl "had sex with the students,” she left her clothes in the room of one of the male students. She then rode the elevator down to the lobby, and appeared in front of 1968 residents completely naked, he said.
“She was totally disoriented," one witness said Bernard confirmed this report.
"There were definite and rapid mood changes," said Bernard. "She was unstable mentally. One minute
she would be wandering in the lobby, friendly, and the next minute she was screaming at everyone, very confused.”
According to one witness, two Public Safety officers, plus the security guard on duty, threw a white sheet over the girl, and then took her back upstairs to retrieve her clothes. When the officers returned to the lobby with the girl, she was still covered in the sheet, but appeared to be much calmer. She told the officers that she wanted to “go back upstairs and go to sleep," the witness said.
According to Bernard, the officers then took her into protective custody and brought her to the Crisis Intervention Center, in accordance with the Baker Act. The act, Bernard said, states that persons who are mentally unstable, and could do themselves physical harm, should be taken into protective custody.
Bernard said that the center was familiar with her because, according to Bernard, “she had attempted suicide previously, and had fresh |razor| markings on her wrists [on Sunday night)."
Stanford, Two Deans Plan For Retirement In Spring

Three major administration officials will be retiring at the end of this school year
Dr. Henry King Stanford, president of the University, officially retires May 31, 1981.
Soia Mentschikoff, dean of the School of Law, officially retires June 1, 1981.
Dr. Emanuel M. Papper, dean of the School of Medicine and vice president for medical affairs, officially retires May 31, 1981.
The three are each moving into new and different worlds Mentschikoff prefers to leave the possibilités wide open; Papper is considering several offers; Stanford is, in a sense, going home.
"Thjf is a new phase in my life when r .an work out a schedule less
dictated by others and more dictated by what I myself want to do,” Stanford sdid.
Stanford wants to do some traveling, writing, gardening, and counseling. The writing and gardening part will be done at a 153-year-old Greek Revival Cottage in Americus, Georgia. Georgia is Stanford's home state.
“Mrs. Stanford doesn't think I’ll be there long enough to cut the grass." Stanford said
Mentschikoff also is looking forward to being her own person.
"I'd like to feel free to do whatever the spirit moves me to do," Mentschikoff said. That is not to say that options have not been considered. "Maybe I’ll write in the mornings and comb beaches in the afternoon. Or vice versa. I don't know.’Vshe said
Therrare a few "odds and ends"
around the globe Mentschikoff would like to visit. A four-year-old grandson in North Carolina is at what she calls the “fascinating age," and an 18-month-old granddaughter has the potential to prove interesting.
Mentschikoff is keeping her home in Miami, but would like to spend time up north, especially in July, August, September, or October.
Papper also plans on staying in Miami, and, as he puts it, "Work 1 will." Papper does not equate retirement with being put out to pasture.
"A change of career will always be relevant," said Papper, who is a physician, educator, manager, and scientist. “I shall continue to work until I'm felled by some dread disease, or

The theme of “Games People Play" set the pace for 1980 Homecoming parade Wednesday night In front of Mahoney/Pearson.
The parade began at San Amaro Drive, traveled down Ponce De Leon Boulevard, and ended at Granada. It was led off by a Coral Gables Police Department escort.
Grand Marshall Henry King Stanford, in his last year in the parade, was escorted to the dignitary stands, where he sat throughout the parade.
The Air Force Reserve Officers Training Corps (AFROTC) Drill Team and color guard performed before the crowd of 5,000 spectators. They were followed by the students of Omicron Delta Kappa.
The cheerleaders, majorettes, and flagettes stepped to the beat of the Band Of The Hour. They were followed by the Homecoming queen. Mariette Jeffers, and her court. Ivy Le Vine, Valerie Williams, and Kathy Herman.
The 960 Complex sported the theme of Royal Flush, and Kappa Kappa Gamma and Lambda Chi Alpha joined in with Miami Monopoly.
The first band of the night was American High School. They were followed by the Twilights, junior majorettes making their first appea-rence in UM’s annual parade. Dungeons and Dragons was the theme of Alpha Epsilon Phi's float, followed by ski club members and their competition boat, "Ski Nauti-que."
The Mahi Shriners made their annual appearance, bringing ^ with
mini cars. Coral Park High School's band followed with color guard and pom-pom girls.
The Swlrlettes were another group of junior majorettes to perform. The little girls, who were from South Miami Heights, made their first appearance in the parade.

were happy about his landslide victory and feel confident about the future of a Reagan presidency.
Barb Luby, a graduate student, is happy about Reagan’s victory but said that "we didn’t have the biggest choice." Luby said that she is looking forward to a Reagan administration, but she "also feels bad for Carter."
“I feel Reagan is going to give us something good to hold on to. Something will change, I don’t know how, but it will be better than what we have had for the last four years," said Luby.
Ray DeQuesada, a Latin student, said that he “voted Republican all the way.”
“If he's a Republican he's good,” said DeQuesada.
Some voted for Reagan because they felt that Carter had accomplished little during his term in office and saw a need for a change.
“I wanted Carter out because he hasn't done anything in the last four years,” said Tom Kirchhoff, a fifth year student.
Kirchhoff also said he feels that the Republican majority in the United States Senate will be a great benefit to Reagan.
Those who voted for Carter were disappointed and fearful about the prospects of a Reagan administration.
“I don't agree with a lot of Reagan’s policies, and I think he might get this country in a lot of trouble before too long,” said Debbie Sief-man, a senior.
Paul Anderson, a junior, felt that although Carter has had many problems throughout his administration, he couldn’t be blamed for inflation, “i though he had done a lot of good things." he said.
Anderson said that he has little faith in Reagan as a leader. “I can’t express my faith in a man who was an actor,” he explained.
Anderson also said that a Republican majority in the Senate will help Reagan’s policies pass. He thinks that defense spending will increase and that worries him
“I think that’s going to work for Reagan. I'm just a little bit scared ... I registered for the draft this summer,” said Anderson
Orlando Brown, a black graduate student who voted for Carter, said that Reagan was "out of touch” with minority problems. He voted for Carter because he felt that the

Several UM students were interviewed by the Hurricane after Tuesday's election. Whether they voted in Dade County or by absentee ballot, all had strong opinions
about the issues, candidates, and the outcome of the elections.
Tuesday night, former California Governor Ronald Reagan defeated President Jimmy Carter in what was termed by the media as a "landslide victory.”
Reagan supporters interviewed
characters in Dickens’ tale, and rode in a San Francisco-style trolley.
The Tamiami Park Colt Junior cheerleaders yelled and cheered, and were followed by the North Miami High and Hialeah-Miami Lakes High School bands.
Majorettes, flags, and cheerleaders from Brownsville Junior High paraded in their silver and red uniforms, and Sigma Alpha Epsilon united with Delta Gamma to salute football.
