With more than $375,000 in the tuition rebate fund, several projects, including the student security force, mini-parks, and the purchase of the television sets and trash receptacles, are nearing completion
"The student security force becomes effective Monday It is one of our most positive programs, since it will help with the campus security program,” said Carlos Hazday, chairman of the Rebate Projects Committee and secretary of community affairs
Hazday said that $32,000 has been allocated to hire and train students At present, five students have been hired and trained They will be wearing bright orange jackets "so that they’ll be very visible ”
Screening is continuing and positions are still available Anyone interested in becoming a guard is asked to contact Public Safety at x-6666
The two 25-inch color television sets ordered for the Student Union will arrive in the next few weeks One will replace the set in the lower lounge and the other will be placed in the International Lounge
“This television set will fit in nicely with the plans to refurnish the International Lounge All new furniture has been ordered and we will contribute the television out of the rebate money," Hazday said
Forty-two trash receptacles have been ordered. According to Hazday, $5000 has been allocated for the purchase of 18 receptacles. The other 24 are being contributed by administrators and faculty members
“These garbage receptacles weigh 800 pounds each. The chata-hoochee on the outside and concrete in the inside will deter vandalism. They definitely will be an improvement over the green and orange 55-gallon drums that we have now,” he said
Hazday said that delivery is promised by the end of the month and that the trash receptacles will be placed on campus by spring break.
The plans for the roof over the stage on the patio and the stage itself are being expanded
The Undergraduate Student Body Government (USBG) Senate has approved the purchase of a two-way communication system which will consist of a base station and several hand-held radios. USBG will own the transmitters and lend them for use at such activities as Carni Gras and Homecoming for security needs. The Student Entertainment Committee (SEC), and Student Orientation Service (SOS) will also use the transmitters.
“Previously, it cost about $1800 to rent the equipment. By spending $6000 to buy the system, in the long run, it’ll save the students money, since it comes out of the student activity fee.”
Other projects in the works include the campus informational maps, the construction of a box theater in Brockway Lecture Hall, and the mini-parks.
"When students return from spring break, they will see several mini-parks around campus. Benches, tables, and plants will be set up to make these areas a place to sit and relax and read."
Hazday said that the first minipark will be built in the area between the Merrick and Ferre buildings
The idea of a globe on the Union Circle is being reconsidered.
“We have received a lot of static from the globe idea and we found that our (cost) estimates were unrealistic. So, the idea will be reconsidered at the next rebate projects meeting "
The funds for the projects came about when USBG split a $100 tuition rebate. Half of the money going into a fund for campus improvements, and half was credited to students accounts this spring.
The rebate money is in an account signed by UM President Henry King Stanford and USBG President Paul Novack. Under the rebate agreement, the money can only be used for projects that the University will not fund.

The Pentasonic Brass Quintet, a modern jazz band, was on campus Wednesday afternoon, just in time for the lunch crowd at the Rock in front of the Student Union. It was a reminder of warmer days, as temperatures dropping into the low 50's kept many prospective listeners inside. Things should remain the same weatherwise, as more cold air is expected tor the weekend.

A UM employee was arrested on campus Tuesday by the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) for escaping from jail while serving a 99-years-to-life prison term for armed robbery and murder.
Franklin Delano Prince, 37, who was employed at UM under the name Peter Ponderas, was working at the University for the past seven months.
According to the FBI office. Prince did not have a perminent Miami residence He was charged with unlawful flight to avoid prosecution for armed robbery, attempted murder, and grand theft.
A warrant was issued by the United States Magistrate Court in Jacksonville, Florida, where Prince escaped from the Lr.wtey Correctional Institute in Stark. Florida in March of 1978 - where he was serving the 99-year prison term
Prince worked in UM’s Physical Plant Department doing carpentry and building maintenance. He performed such basic tasks as hanging bulletin boards and fixing doors.
According to Harvey Rose, director of the Physical Plant, there were no problems with Prince (he referred to Prince by his employed name Ponderas).
"He was a pleasant person and there were no problems." Rose
said. “His behavior (represented) the kind of employee you’d want to have around "
Recently, Rose received a letter of commendation for Princes’ superior work This entire incident “came as quite a surprise "
According to Rose, when Prince applied for a job in July, his resume said he lived in Dade County for the past seven years. "We made all the normal contacts with past employers - and he was competent."
Rose said that they check police records of all applicants that have lived in Dade for five years. “The police have nothing on Peter Ponderas (his employed name) - everything checked out."

Stadium Threatens Intramurat Field

Anger over the Athletic Department proposal to park cars 5n the intramural field for a possible football stadium has led to questions regarding the stadium parking plans in general
According to an Athletic Department public relations brochure released several months ago. all of the resident student parking spaces on campus would be utilized for parking for home games, and the Undergraduate Student Body Government (USBG) believes that Athletics wishes to have resident students re-
move their cars from campus during home games.
This is evident by the parking map printed on the Athletic Department’s brochure, which outlines prospective campus parking areas for the stadium These areas include the intramural field, where, according to the brochure, 1,000 cars can be parked.
The USBG passed a bill on Monday calling for the University to ban parking on the intramural field. USBG President Paul Novack believes the student population will fiercely attack the plans for parking there.
"The proposed parking plans are
an insult to our students. The idea that dorm lots and apartment area grass fields, and all possible blades of grass be used for game-day parking is ridiculous The University must deal with the existing lack of adequate parking facilities for students before we create more problems as a result of a stadium." Novack said
According to the bill, authored by John Stolfi, chairman of the Student's Rights Agency, there are many problems connected with parking cars on the field.
“The UM intramural field attains 90 percent utilization during the fall semester," the bill said.
In addition to the fact that student use of the field would be denied on home game days, the field would suffer tremendous damage, according to reports The 27 sprin-
kler heads on the field would be crushed by the weight of a single car These sprinkler heads are valued at $100 each. Also, the piping for the system is buried at only one inch below the surface in some places This, too, would be ruined
The USBG also asserts that the damage caused by parking in one day would take two weeks to repair at a minimum, and would cost at least several thousand dollars.
Under rainy conditions, rutting would close the field for at least one month, and "three to five home games with the field as a parking lot could conceivably close the IM field for the entire fall semester.” the bill reads.
The stadium proposal is for a 42,-000 seat capacity. In order to comply with local ordinances, the Athletic Department must be able to
furnish 8,400 parking spaces. The parking map allocates 10,884 campus parking spaces for use by football patrons
According to UM’s Department of Public Safety, there are now 7.229 parking spaces on campus.
Other additions to the current areas for parking to be used for the stadium are the parking facilities for the fraternity houses and grass around the apartment areas.
Athletic Department Director Dr Harry Mallios was unavailable for comment.
The Athletic Department brochure indicates that the estimated walk-in attendance for home games, including dormitory students, hotel guests, and area residents would be about 6,400.

Candidates are required to have at least a 2.0 grade point average and to be enrolled as a full-time undergraduate student. The Elections Commission is authorized to verify that candidates have met the eligibility requirements.
UM students will be electing a new USBG president, vice president. and treasurer.

The procedures. Moss said, are “our bible." to which the commission will strictly adhere. There will be two meetings that all candidates must atfend
Anyone interested in becoming an elections commissioner or polI worker should contact Mandi Moss at the Student Activities Office. Workers will be paid minimum wage ($3.10 per hour) for the two days of the elections. Commissioners do not get paid.
“It’s (serving as an elections commissioner) a very important job, because otherwise we wouldn't have the student government," said Moss. “Spring (election) is always much larger than fall (election)."
Moss indicated that she intends to operate the commission "like a business.”

Most students at the UM are probably not aware that the world-renowned Bascom Palmer Eye Institute is part of the University.
The Bascom Palmer Eye Institute is divided into the Anne Bates Leach Eye Hospital (ABLEH). the William L. Mc-Knight Vision Research Center, and the Edith and Earl Retter Education Center, which is under construction but will be completed shortly
The Anne Bates Leach Eye Hospital provides all aspects of eye care in one facility. It handles more than 55,000 outpatients annually, as well as 3500 inpatients The hospital also has a special children’s clinic.
ABLEH is strictly a referral institution. It only services patients who are referred to it by other hospitals or by ophthalmologists. Patients who are referred to ABLEH come from throughout the Southeastern United States. Central and South America, and many other parts
of the world.
Built in 1976, the Anne Bates Leach Eye Hospital was designed to make a patient’s stay as pleasant as possible. The halls are wide for easy maneuverability, and the walls are painted with lively colors and covered with graphics.
ABLEH contains its own phot-graphy center. The eye is the only organ in the body which can be precisely examined in its natural and undisturbed envi-

Business School Completion Delayed

Assistant Maws editor
Construction on the $4 million School of Business building is getting close to completion, but minor problems may set the dedication back a few weeks.
"At this point in time it is scheduled to be completed by the middle or end of April.” Oliver Bonnert. UM business manager said.
According to Bonnert, there have been minor problems with late orders and windows not installed, but no large difficulties have arisen
Bonnert said when the building is completed a dedication ceremony will be held, but tours are restricted until then “We had to send notices to people not to visit the site without permission." Bonnert said. The construction that is currently underway is hazardous, and people are urged to stay away unless permission is granted.
The new building will be named after the contributors, Jenkins and Stubblefield. The complex will actually be two separate buildings. The inner building will house 16 classrooms, while the outer structure will be used for offices. Bridges will connect the two.
Special energy conservation equipment is being installed in the building. There will also be computer rooms, a student-faculty lounge, and special audio-visual equipment.
The building will start being used for classes in the fall semester
