UM's Payroll Department Is making a change in the Work-Study students’ payment schedule. Students will be paid every two weeks, instead of once a month, as of June 1.
“Candidly, I am embarrassed that the administration has not fulfilled its commitment to implement a biweekly pay schedule for the student employees as promised on numerous occasions,” said UM President, Henry King Stanford.
"I am hopeful that this new date for completion of the biweekly pay schedule will enable students enrolled during the summer to begin receiving biweekly paychecks and will permit resolution of any problems which develop with this system before the fall semester."
Henry King Stanford UM President
“I have carefully reviewed the history of USBG (Undergraduate Student Body Government) legislation on this matter, and I am resolved not to allow further delay in implementing this legislation.
“Consequently, I am directing Mr. Lieberman (assistant vice president for Administration and Finance) to develop a bi-weekly pay schedule which is to be implemented no later then June 1, 1980,” Stanford said.
“I am hopeful that this new date for completion of the bi-weekly pay schedule will enable students enrolled during the summer to begin receiving bi-weekly paychecks and will permit resolution of any problems which develop with this system before the fall semester,” Stanford said.
This change is being made for the benefit of students at the University’s expense. Jennings Ezelte, director of the Payroll Department, fully
supports this new service.
“One month is too long a pay period for students. A bi-weekly schedule give them easier budgeting, it is the practical and proper way to do it. Students are our customers; we should treat them well,” Ezelle said.
This change is just a small part of more significant changes that will take place in the Payroll Department within the year.
“We've been anticipating a new payroll system for three years now," Ezelle said. “We’ve purchased an entirely new payroll system, to be initiated, hopefully, by January of 1981.
According to Ezelle, the present system was installed in June, 1969. He thinks there has been “a change in our needs since that time. We have altered the program to fit those needs.”
The new system should help save time and give more information.
“It should have been done earlier," Ezelle said.
The introduction of a bi-weekly pay schedule will cost the University more the double what it had been costing them to pay students once a month. However, with the number of students on the Student Payroll, the Payroll department thinks it is a worthwhile change.
The Students’ Payroll now constitutes about 22 percent of all the employees at the University.
A student’s pay period will begin on Tuesdays, instead of Mondays, so that the department can work around the troubles of Monday holidays. Students will turn in time sheets every two weeks, instead of once a month.
“I think they (the students) will be delighted with it. As long as they turn in their time sheets on time, they’ll get their checks,” Ezelle
said.	a

A twenty year old resident assist-

ant in Pearson Hall, was taken to Doctor’s Hospital, where officials say she is in good condition.
She and four friends were entering the Mahoney lot on Miller Drive, when three Latin males pulled up beside their car.
Officer Leon Larson of UM Public Safety said “there was an exchange of words betwween the two vehicles, when one of the Latins pulled a gun and fired into the car.” The victim, who was in the rear seat and was leaning forward on the front seat, was hit by the blast, which shattered the window. At
first. It was thought that a shotgun was used because of the impact evident, but this was later discounted.
Hospital officials said that she was probably shot with a 32 caliber pistol, and that the shot was an entry-exit wound to the left chest area.
Police said there was no apparent reason why the three Latins were in the lot. They are still looking for the three men, who fled in a 1967-68 dark-colored Dodge with dark tinted glass, mag wheels, a jacked up rear, and a large citizen's band radio antenna.

UM Public Safety's director of Law Enforcement, Jack Ackerly, will retire next week, after only one year.
“Personal reasons" have made it necessary for Ackerly to retire, and leave Public Safety, although strengthened by his contributions, with a big space to fill.
“I have some mixed emotions. The University, for the first time, has a Public Safety Department of 20 sworn police officers, serving the University and, specifically, the students. I like what I see. I am staffed with good people," Ackerly said.
“I don't want the University to feel that I was dissatisfied. I feel I've accomplished what I came here to do.”
Ackerly, a former FBI agent, was transferred to Miami from Pittsburgh in 1967, and was assigned to work for three years with an agent from New York, Joseph Frechette. Last February, Ackerly accepted an offer from UM to take his current position, and. at that same time. Frechette became UM’s director of Public Safety.
Although Ackerly did not wish to publicize his reasons for leaving, he had a few comments on what he felt were flaws in the department.
“There are people on this campus - there are administrators - who say, hey, we’ve got a 20 man force. But the maximum (on any given shift) is three people. People don’t realize this. They make a request with the view in mind that there are quite a few.
“I'm aware of budget considerations, too. 1 have accepted the task assigned to me with the number of personnel I’ve been allowed. I don’t think a Public Safety Department at the University of Miami would be successful with any less people," Ackerly commented.
The firearm skills of the officers on campus has improved tremendously since the arrival of Ackerly and Frechette.
“My men shoot at the Coral Gables range ... During the fall training, my investigative sergeant, Steve Shield, placed number one, and Investigative Lieutenant Steve De Luca number two, out of 150 men.”
Ackerly feels that leadership in the department is unparalleled. “
... While Mr. Frechette is a close personal friend of mine, I think, not in spite, but in view of this. I’m able to comment that the University has as head of Public Safety a very highly qualified individual.”
"I’d like to comment on David Wike, who is director of Safety and Traffic. His is a controversial job ... Mr. Wike is a legend in his own time. He'» been here since 1939, with the exception ot the war years. He’s been past basketball coach, and UM’s foot bait trainer, and an instructor in physical ed.”
“I think that the traffic ticketing is necessary, and I think that infrequent towing Is necessary. I am well aware that the worst thing that could happen on campus would be a fire in one of the dormitories. We have narrow roadways in the vicinity of the dorms. It is absolutely mandatory for us to keep the fi-relanes clear.”
“We, of course, are all aware that no one likes to get a ticket ... We are also aware that there is a parking problem on this campus which is really not our doing, and is something we have to live with. But if we didn’t take measures there’d be a chaotic condition on campus,” Ackerly said.
So next week Ackerly will be gone, and one-half of the team that created a strong Public Safety Department at UM will have to carry on the work alone.

In August of'1979, the Exxon Corporation of New York gave $100,000 to the UM School of Law and Economics Center.
The grant is unrestricted, which means the Law and Economics Center may use it in any way they see fit.
The grant will be donated over a three year period. To date, $30,000 has been received, and the Center will receive the rest of the money over a two year period.
Previously, the law school was granted $50,000 over a two year period by the Exxon Corporation.
“It has gone into our general operating acco^pt, where we fund a variety of things including research and scholarships.” said Elizabeth Lujie, financial administrator for.
the Law and Economics Center.
At the present time, the Law and Economics Center receives grants from over 105 companies.
"Exxon supports many educational institutions, and this is one of them. We’re very happy to have the nxoney,” said Bill Weston, Public Relations consultant for the center.
Weston said the grant was substantial. and that the department was thankful, but It was by no means the largest grant they have received.
“Last year, we received a $400,000 donation from the Lilly Endowment, a private foundation in Indianapolis," Weston said.
Weston said the Center was grateful that the grant was unrestricted. since many donors stipulate that the money be forwarded to a specific cause.
Security Executive Resigns UM Post
Students: 6You May Not Get Draft Exemption'
By LORI BARR1ST
Ntw* Editor
President Carter’s call for the reinstitution of draft registration in his State of the Union address Jan. 23 has worried many UM students and at least one professor.
Richard Grande, UM’s 1979 Teacher of the Year, has dedicated many of his class lectures to making students aware of what’s going on outside of the University community.
“It’s about time students wake up and realize what’s happening out there," said the 35 year-old business law professor.
“You have an opportunity to have a say in what the hell’s going on, so make your voices heard.
Bi-Weekly Pay Begins This J line

Don’t wake up a month before it (the war) happens because by then it’s too late," he said.
Grande admits to being “real worried” about the prospect of draft registration, because he said that it won’t stop at registration. %
•’They’re not going to wait for a declaration of war and then begin drafting,” he told his business law class Friday.
Grande explained that registration will probably take place after the Selective Service registration machinery, which was disbanded in 1975, is reinstituted.
All men - and maybe women -between the ages of 18 and 26 will be required to register at the post office. An act of Congress will be necessary before women can be re-
quired to register and, also, before men can be drafted.
Grande said that if there is a draft, men will be assigned to basic training camps for six to eight weeks and then to a unit in either the United States or abroad.
"But we don’t know yet whom this will affect. It may mean nothing to UM students, but then again, it may mean a lot.”
Carter will decide by Feb. 9 whether women will be required to register, and what exemptions will be allowed.
“It Is doubtful that the student exemption used in previous drafts will continue. It was unfair. And with the direction our society is moving in, it is very likely that women will be required to register.
But we won’t know anything until Feb. 9.”
According to Grande, If women are drafted, they probably will be placed in personnel departments and not used in actual combat, although Israel has shown an “outstanding degree of success” using women in combat.
“One thing's for sure - if the student exemption is continued, UM will have a vastly expanded student body We’ll have to hang desks from the ceilings," he said.
Grande said that he feels very guilty about his exemption from the Vietnam War on the basis of his student classification.
"I feel that I bought my way out of the war while people died in combat because they couldn’t af-
ford to go to school.”
The professor described the mood of the student body on college campuses before and during the Vietnam War.
“We laughed it off. We went to the beach and drank beers. Most of us did not see the subjugation of Vietnam as a real threat.
“Because of the belatedness of our interest in it, my generation hus a tremendous amount of guilt built up. Don't fall into the aame trap */e did,” he warned.
According to Grande, the realities of war started "hitting home" when he and his friends began realizing that the boys they played football with as kids were “off in some place we couldn't even pronounce
knocking off two - and three-year-olds.”
“Do you remember Rusty Cat-ley?" Grande asked his class.
Calley and Grande are both graduates of the Miami Edison Senior High Class of 1962. Grande played high school football alongside Calley.
Rusty was his nickname. Calley is Lieutenant William Calley - the man who was responsible for the deaths of women and children in the My Lai Massacre.
Grande feels that there is much less apathy on college campuses today than in the sixties.
“More of today’s students seem willing to serve (in the armed SEE DRAFT PAGE 3
