Following in the footsteps of the
tuition hike, there will he an increase in student housing for next
year.
The increase amount is for the
deferred maintenance fund which
pays for the improvements made In
the dorms, apartments, and apartment area lf the money is not used
one year, it Is left for when the improvements are needed.
960 and 68 residents this year
paid $..50 for room and board each
semester. Next year it will go up to
$613, an increase of $93.
According to George Shoffner.
director of Student Housing, mosl
improvements that will he made are
not ones which will be overwhelm-
housing. "Tuition increase has nothing to do with housing. The money
that comes into housing is what
every student pays. Tuition and
room and be.ard are separate entities. We have to make up budget
proposals like everyone else who
has an administrative responsibility
for a program."
lhe deferred maintenace and
overhead charge are collected so
that tuition fees do not have to contribute to housing. This makes them
self-funding Residence Halls' total
bill this year ran $6.1 million.
Closing down the towers for the
summer poses a problem for Campus Sports and Recreation. CSR
gets chilled water from the same
place    (the    chilled    water    plant)
Shoffner    says    the    anticipated
total teist of improvements is $200,-

By ELIZABETH BABUN
N*W* Writer
Eighty-three new members of the Society of
University Founders will be honored Saturday,
March 14, at the 15th annual banquet in the
Omni International Hotel.
Each member of the Society has contributed
a minimum of $50,000 to the University of
Miami. The donations in the past have been
through individuals, organizations, foundations,
and corporations.
In 1980, the Undergraduate Student Body
Government became an official member because of the 50/50 tuition rebate plan when
money donated to UM.
Cyrus M. Jollivelte, director of Public Affairs, said that some members have given several million dollars.
Traditionally, the Society of University
Founders Banquet has been provided at no
charge. This year, members of the Society and
new members will be guests for the evening.
Other guests have the option of providing a voluntary contribution to help finance the event.
Since the founding of the Society in 1966 by
the Board of Trustees, membership has grown
to an excess of 730.
Approximately 800 guests are expected to
attend.
"The University has many outstanding
friends in the community and beyond. It is at
this event that the University pauses to recognize their support for the institution's long-
range development," Jolivette stated.
"I am thrilled that this year we have a record number of new founders being inducted."
said UM Trustee Neil Schiff.
"I feel these people recognize the value of
the university to the Miam: area and that their
generous giving is recognitinn of some of the
academic improvements that have occurred
here," he said.
"There is no greater institution that a philanthropic person or corporation can support
than one which educates young people, supports
extensive research programs. Is a cultural resource for the community, and provides adult
education for those who wish to improve their
knowledge and skills," Schiff said
Stanford will be master uf ceremonies and
Schiff will assist him at the ceremony.
Thc UM Jazz Band III . under the direction
of Gary Lindsay, will provide entertainment (ur
the evening.
Rape Task Force Is There To Help
By JOHN OUDENS
i-ltfltonl News fditor
The University of Miami Women's Commission has established an
Assault Task Force of women volunteers to assist victims of rapes ;
and attempted rapes reported to
UM Public Safety.
According to Dr. Dorothy Hicks,
gynecologist   and   director  of   the
Jackson   Memorial   Hospital   Rape !
Treatment  Center,  the   volunteers !
will  not  act  as  medical  workers !
with victims.
"In no way are these people ex- !
pected to react as health professionals,"   Hicks   said.   "Many   times,
that's not what's needed immediately "
Jane Gailey. Public Safety parking coordinator and a member of
the Task Force, explained that what
is needed immediately is a "little
hand-holding."
"A |UM| victim may be uncomfortable about going back to her
roommate or a friend on her floor,"
Gailey said, "but she needs someone
just to be there — for a little hand-
holding."
According to a report prepared
by Maggie Blake, assistant director
of the liM News Bureau and member of the Task F'orce, the new program will work with Public Safety
(Officers responding to rape and attempted rape calls. The report stat-
,ed that the different members, to be
[assigned   weekly   duties,   will   be
available to help any victim. Officers handling calls will ask victims
lif they would like another woman
[to come and help; if so, then Public
"Safety will notifv an on-duty volunteer.
Ida Pementm, Task Force coordi
nator, said that the idea of a force
was first discussed last fall by the
executive board of the Women's
Commission after the commission
had heard of the plight of one particular attemted rape victim.
"One young lady needed someone
to be with her" after an attack. Pe-
menta said, "but there was just no
one around.
"When this was discussed at the
meeting, some women immediately
volunteered | to be part of a force J.'
Pementa further explained that the
discussion led to a volunteer sign-up
sheet which was passed around.
this sheet collected quite a few
names of women interested in joining a force.
The Women's Commission  next
set up an Ocober 1* training session
for the volunteers with Hicks and
Denise Moon, a social worker at the
Rape Treatment Center. At the session, according to Blake's report,
Hicks gave the volunteers advice
about their roles as ' I mpathetic listeners" in rape cases. She explained

ing or stand out to the students
"The improvements are not necessarily dramatic or new but [functional! things that have to be taken
care of."
Some of the improvements that
will be marie include-
• Exterior painting of some
buildings and apartments
• Renovation of the North
Lounge in F^aton Hall
• Plumbing In the apartment
area, which is considered critical in
some cases
• Replacing ol jalousie windows in Mahoney/Pearson
• Improving of the landscape in
such areas as the apartments to
make it more attractive, with recreation facilities like a barbecue pit
and volleyball court
• Renovation of some of the
family apartments along Ponce de
I i Boulevard
• Repair of bathrooms and lobbies (where leaks are occuring) in
960 and 68
• Remodeling of cafeterias
• Handrails in the stairs Of the
apartments
• Fire alarm systems and security at external doors in 960 and 6K
• Tenting buildings (or termite -
• Number of practice rooms for
music in Mahoney in conjunction
with the Music School
Shoffner said the tuition hike has
nothing to do with the increase in
000. He says that iust about everything mentioned can be dune by
summer. Some will have to be done
during the summer months because
they can't be completed while students are in the buildings For this
reason, 68 and 960 Complexes will
be closed lor summer sessions.
"There's always a lung lisl Ol improvements every year. The question is whether you do it this year,
next year, or the next." Shoffner
said.
An overhead charge of two and
one half percent applied to housing
amounts to $30. which helps to offset costs of services on campus for
students who live here,
where 960 and '68 get theirs But as
Norm Parson, director of CSR explained, the Lane center is not powerful enough to run without help
from the towers.
"They want to close the towers
(ur the summer and move everyone
to Mahoney/Pearson and Eaton
Hall, but we |air conditioning unit|
are nut big enough to run by ourselves " Parson said.
Parson said things are not yet at
,i state to cause alarm. But the possibility exists that c'SR may have ta
close down for the summer. One
option thoy are considering to stav
cool and open this summer is to
build a chiller plant just for the recreation (inter Parson said this
would provide the best results
Another option Is to cool just one
of the Towers Parson Is now waiting for the figures from energy
manager Ratae' Russ. to set whal
would be in the best Interests of the
students and lhe school.
"Whatever the costs lurn oul to
be. it will iust CSR lots of money
we didn't anticipate to spend.' Parson said The least amount of
money it will cost them has _k
roughly estimated at $15,000. and
