Young: Oil Prompted PLO Talks
By CATHY HICKEY
Murrlcano Slow WrDor
Andrew Young, former United States ambassador to the United nations, advocated the United States' taking a stronger stand in world leadership in an address on Tuesday night sponsored by UM’s Lecture Series.
‘‘Instead of being nervous about the future, or anxious about it, or afraid about it, we ought to realize that we are responsible for it, accept credit for it, and do as we have done for the past 200 years and give leadership," Young said.
Young said that the Soviet Union is only effective in its influence on revolutionary countries during times of violent struggle.
“When the time comes to develop a nation, to provide for all the citi-
zens to have something to eat, to produce goods and services to keep the country stable, all .of these countries have turned to the west, particularly to the United States."
He said that this was true because many people from these countries, countries like Zimbabwe and Nigeria in the past and other African countries currently in the de-colonization process, have been students at institutions in the United States, and because they see in our multi-racial society some of the multi-ethnic problems that they experience in their own society.
In addition. Young said the respect the United States has earned from other countries is not only because of our military strength, which is "defensive rather than offensive,” but also because the "offensive" taken by the American
leadership is characterized by the idea of human rights.
Young defends his view of the United States as an internationally highly respected entity by his observations during his ambassadorship. Other countries react to our actions, such as our involvement in the Vietnam War or interference in the legitimate progress of an election in the Dominican Republic, in a negative way not “because they hate the United States, but because they feel as though and know that we are so much better.
“It always used to amaze me. and sometimes make my job extremely difficult at the U.N., when nobody ever expected the Russians to do right. They could do anything or say anything they wanted, and it didn’t matter, but the minute the U.S. did something that was out of
the American character, something that didn’t reflect the high ideals that we have preached in this country, everybody jumped on me!”
Young feels that our record in Iran is extremely mixed. “The United States did, unfortunately, help to overthrow the government of Mo-zadeque, and as a result of helping to overthrow that government, we in turn assumed the responsibility for putting the Shah in power and nursing him along, and, therefore we end up bearing some of the burden of his excesses," Young said.
In many ways the shah was well-intentioned. Young said. He wanted to bring Iran very rapidly into the twentieth century, and to replace the feudal Islamic system with a secular Western system.

Tuition Skyrockets
Students React To Decision
By PETER S. HAMM
Assistant Naws Editor
The decision of the Board of Trustees to increase tuition next year by $500 has sparked mixed reaction from students, mostly negative.
Susan Ruch, a sophomore majoring in journalism/F.nglish said, "If the tuition increase is necessary in order to maintain the high standards of education. I think it's valid."
The remainder of opinions were of a different nature.
"I think it’s absolutely disgusting. I think the school costs a lot already, and if the tuition goes up $500, they are going to lose a lot of students, including me.” said Robin Lestz, a freshman business major.
Robert Norris, president of Pi Kappa Alpha fraternity, said, “I think that the alternatives to a large tuition increase were not examined closely and fairly enough. It is more of a detriment than an asset. But we should thank USBG for trying.”
Mark McQuitty, a senior asked, "What are we getting for the extra $500? If I was still going to school here next year I couldn't afford it.”
“I’m not too crazy about it. I won’t be back if it (the tuition) is raised," Jana Smith, a freshman marine biology major said
Jeffrey Fraher, a senior majoring in civil engineering said, "I think, for the $500, it’s not worth it. The money isn’t going to undergraduate education, it’s going to the graduate programs."
Karl Palmer, a grad student said, "I think they should hold it (the current tuition rate).”
Elaine Shook, a grad student, said that some of the programs offered to students are not adequately valuable to warrant a large increase "The school of continuing studies is built on the same prices as the undergraduate The government has heard of no program called continuing studies, so we qualify for no loans or grants, absolutely nothing,” Shook said.
John Reda, a freshman accounting major said, "... because of that I might not come back here next year."
Donna Goldberg, a sophomore nursing major said, " It really bothers me that I don’t see the money going anywhere."

Justices Discuss Law At
By PETER S. HAMM
Assistant News Editor
The seven-member Florida Supreme Court visited the School of Law on Monday and discussed the responsibilities and workings of the judicial system, as well as speaking on a proposed bill to limit the jurisdiction of that court
“I hope this is the beginning of one of our instant traditions,” said Law School Dean Soia Mgptschi-koff in her introductory remarks
The justices discussed a proposed amendment to the state constitution to be voted on by the public on March 11 which would limit the jurisdiction of the Supreme Court and lessen their case load. "It is not fully supported. The majority would like to see you support that amendment,” Chief Justice Arthur England said. Justice Joe Boyd is opposed to it.
The purpose of the judicial system, according to England, is “to preserve and protect your constitutional rights." He srfid that apart from this, the Supreme Court is responsible for the admission of lawyers to the Florida Bar, which is why they set up the Florida Board of Bar Examiners.
In all cases reaching the Supreme Court, there must be conflict for the court to obtain jurisdiction.
England was impressed by the surroundings of lecture room 109 in the Law Building. He compared them to the Supreme Courtroom in Tallahassee, saying that at UM there was “better lighting and a piano in back."
Justice James Adkins, the senior member on the panel, discussed the jurisdiction brief, which is what attorneys must file with the Supreme Court if they wish it to hear an appeal. “It has to show me conflict with another decision,” Adkins said "We're not interested in the merits of vour case, or by the
weight of the brief on a scale."
Adkins said that attorneys writing a brief should not assume that the Supreme Court justices are familiar with all the rules of law involved. "We don’t have to know the law, we write the law," Adkins said.
Justice Alan Sundberg spoke on the importance of oral argument before the bench. "I believe it’s valuable. We have read the briefs, so oral argument will serve as a focal point.” However, Sundberg warned prospective attorneys that they
should know their subject matter.
Justice James Alderman disagreed. "It's impossible to hear oral argument in every case.”
England explained the methods of the Supreme Court. Cases are assigned to the seven justices on a rotational basis. After a case goes to trial, the judges hold a conference to hear the opinion, which is the formal verdict of the court. The author of the opinion hears the views of the others, and if he gets three more signatures, the opinion is finalized.
Trustees Accent Stan ford s Proposal
By JANE L. MARCUS
Editor-In-Chief
After months of negotiations between students and the administration, the Board of Trustees decided Wednesday that tuition for the next academic year will increase $500.
According to UM President Henry King Stanford, the tuition is set at $4,340 for next year. If tuition is measured to include the rebate, the increase is $500. However, if the published tuition rate is used to measure the increase, then it is a $400 Increase.
“Because of the strong student concern expressed to me in meetings with the student senate, and on the Rock, and in personal conversations with Mr. Paul Novack, I took the recommendation of the undergraduate tuition rate of $4,340 received from the Financial Alfairs office and directed that it he reduced by $100," Stanford said.
"Wtttttn a lew days alter I received this, a budget was reworked to reflect a low tuition charge I received some s.naitering news from the Business Manager (Oliver Bon-nert). He informed me that his best estimate for electricity charges for the 1980/1981 year would be $900,-000 more than charges for this year," Stanford continued
Stanford said that he made a recommendation that the first proposal be reduced by $100 after he heard from the students, but with the estimate of electricity charges, “it prompted me to return to the first figure."
Part of the tuition increase will go towards the salaries of clerical and secretarial workers, assistant professors, and administrators. According to Stanford, that is the order of priorities.
There will be an overall 9.5 percent increase in salaries. An additional 4.2 percent in equity, promotions, and special consideration will go toward secretaries and clerical workers. There will also be an additional 3.5 percent to faculty and .5 percent to administrators.
“I am assured and reassured by Mr. (Dave) Leiberman, assistant vice president for Financial Affairs, that the tuition charges and salary decisions all accord with federal wage guidelines," Stanford said.
There will be an increase of $700,000 put into a reserve account “in the event we lose more students than anticipated." Stanford said. This brings the account total to $1.4 million.
In the area of academic improvements. $638,000 will be used for additional faculty in the College of Arts and Sciences, School of Business Administration, and School of
Sheen Talks Of Draft
By AMY JACOVES
Annum Naws Editor
Actor Martin Sheen was on campus Monday to promote Senator Ted Kennedy's presidential campaign. In addition, the Hurricane had the opportunity to interview Sheen before his speech on the Rock.
“I think that Ted (Kennedy) can get us back on the right track. I think he’s the only guy that can unite the country in a positive fashion," Sheen said
Sheen spoke to a crowd of about 100 students and gave the students the opportunity to ask questions "rather than give a long speech."
“I am supporting the senator primarily because of his position on the draft. I am a personal friend of the Kennedy's. When he declared his candidacy, I was asked to come in and see what I could do," Sheen said.
Some students were concerned as to what the Senator would do without registration if our National Security were threatened
“You have to accept the reality of the world we live in Isn't it better
to talk and find some way to alleviate the pain of that reality. I mean, what are you going to fight?" Sheen replied
"What you're talking about is a confrontation that has colossal side effects. You’re not talking about pushing somebody around. You're talking about a confrontation with someone that’s as tough as you are. And that involves the whole world. I think we ought to be on a road to talking rather than threatening,” he added
One student asked about the National Health Care Plan.
“It’s a fair share of medical aid to all persons. It’s socialized medicine. You have to give some kind of comprehensive medical care a chance,” he said
Another student's foremost concern was the energy crisis.
"To solve the energy crisis you have to get to the source. These oil companies have not helped us out, they’ve been interested in their own huge profits." Sheen said
Sheen said that he felt that the Iranian situation was very close to

Engineering to strengthen each school.
Stanford said that "from what students told me on the Rock and at student senate meeting, I am concerned that a number of our students, how many I don’t know’, will decide to leave the University because of the higher charge. I am optimistic that, as we continue to improve the academic programs of the University, our retention rate will increase."
"While tuition is going up 10.15 percent or 13 percent, according to the base used, scholarship tunds by the University are going up 20 17 percent in the new budget."
"In tact," Stanford continued, "during the four year period 1978 to 1981, scholarships by the University will have gone up 99 percent • significantly ahead of the increase in tuition."
Undergraduate Student Body . (iovernmeiu Prebidont Paul Novack
said that “the students did more than any group of students have done before, and unfortunately for the University, those efforts didn't have successful results."
“The administration could have made a case for any amount of an increase, and they could have seemingly made it sound justifiable, but they chose to insist on the $500 amount. I am proud of the people in student government. I am proud of the student.body — but I’m very disappointed in the administration, I think it’s a very bad decision and a slap in the face,” Novack said.
"The students have been well represented by Paul. He has been articulate, probing, and forceful in his participation in the budgetary process, and I sincerely regret that it was not possible to accommodate all-of the students' requests in the formulation of budget policy for next year,"Stanford said.
"Our students aren't the kind of students that will go out and riot because of the tuition increase They'll just take it. but won’t come back — because they can't." said USBG vice president Robin Wilson.
Novack has requested to the Board of Trustees to speak on the tuition issue at their March meeting However, according to Novack, his request has been denied until May.
