When the renovations of the Health Center are completed, the 56-year-old building will have a new face and a redecorated interior, according to Dr. Eugeng Flipse, director of the Center.
The Center was closed during the summer for reasons ranging from leaks and state violations, to general appearance. The most Important reason why it was closed, according to Flipse, was that the building was leaking badly. A new roof had been installed but the leaks continued through the shell of the building. The X-ray darkroom had chemical leaks which were damaging the plumbing and flooring.
The Florida Health and Rehabilitative Services had also cited the Center for several violations, including not having grab bars in the bathrooms, not having enough nurses’ call buttons, inadequate hot water temperature controls, inadequate fire doors, and inadequate fire ratings for the ceilings.
According to Flipse, some of the violations did not even apply to the Center, and all of them could have been met without closing the building.
Flipse stated that another important factor in the renovation is the appearance of the building Flipse said that, since the Center is located on the corner of Merrick and Stanford Drive, it "should not look like a 56-year-old outhouse."
During the summer, the Center's facilities were moved into the Health Center Annex. The Annex. • which houses at pharmacy, was for-

Representatives for the three major presidential candidates participated in Election Forum 1980 on Tuesday, Oct. 14, In the International Lounge. The event was sponsored by Alpha Lambda Delta freshman honor society.
“We basically set up this program for the students who were apathetic about voting, and to help them decide,” said Linda Colson, vice president of Alpha Lambda Delta.
Representing Ronald Reagan was Rick Siederman, head of the Reagan Steering Committee for Dade County. Expressing the views of John Anderson was Shirley Watson, southeast coordinator for the Anderson campaign. Former State Attorney Neil Sonnett spoke on behalf of Jimmy Carter. Dr. Vergil Shipley, professor of politics and public affairs, served as moderator.
Each speaker began with an eight-minute opening statement.
Siederman attacked Carter’s record during the last four years. According to Siederman, Carter had intended to cut the 4.8 percent rate of inflation down to 4 percent. Instead, he said, Carter has failed to prevent the inflation rate from rising to its current level of 13 to 14 percent.
Siederman called the $168 hillion budget deficit of the federal government “the worst it's ever been." In addition, the budget deficit for the current fiscal year is projected to be $60 to $80 billion, he said.
Siederman mentioned Carter’s 1976 campaign promise to cut government spending. He compared this to the fact that the Carter administration has added the Department of Energy (with a $14 billion budget) and the Department of Education (with an $11 billion budget).
“When Ronald Reagan took office as governor, there was a $2 million deficit. That turned into a $5 million surplus by the time he left," Siederman said.
Watson outlined Anderson’s plan to put America back together again by using federal funds in assisting small businesses, developing public transportation systems, helping to build the inner cities, improving public education, and preserving the agricultural industry. She also discussed Anderson’s proposed 50-cent gas tax and his support of the Equal Rights Amendment
Sonnett covered Carter's accomplishments during his four years in office. He defended the Carter program by stressing that inflation did not occur overnight. "Even conservatives are saying that the Carter program has broken the back of inflation,” Sonnett said
Sonnett added that Carter’s record of defense had proved successful in strengthening the nation and preserving peace. He cited how
merly used by the Center as a special clinic for medical education. According to Flipse, although the conditions are more crowded, 95 percent of the Center’s services have been continued in the Annex.
The only service the Annex cannot supply is X-ray examinations, and Flipse said the patients requiring them are sent to nearby physicians at the Center’s costs.
The Center rented an apartment to house patients who are "too sick to stay in their dorms but not sick enough to go to the hospital," Flipse said. The Annex has also extended its hours of operation to 10 p.m.
The extent of the renovations will depend mainly upon the future plans for the Health Center. The second floor of the Center contains an 18-bed hospital which, according to Flipse, usually has two or three patients in it. This, along with the increase in out-patient care, might cause the University to change the functions of part of the Center.
The building area is currently 40 percent in-patient and 60 percent out-patient care. Any decisions on changes would be made by the administration and the Student Health Advisory Committee, whose members are picked by students.
The Health Center is in the process of choosing an architect for the remodeling of the interior, and the rebuilding of the exterior.
The cost of the renovations, which Flipse estimates to be between $200,000 and $300,000, will be paid for entirely by the Student Health Service Reserves. The reserves are funds left over from the health fee paid by students at registration
Carter opposed the Soviets in Afghanistan, and mediated the Camp David talks.
A rebuttal period and questions from the audience followed.
When asked how Reagan would balance the federal budget, Siederman explained that federal spending must be cut by deleting governmental departments rather than by creating new ones.

The Tri-Delt room in the Panhel-lenic Building is empty now: no more pledge parties, Greek weeks, or initiations. The walls that were once filled with plaques are barren. All that is left are the memories.
Delta Delta Delta was known as the sorority with the prettiest girls, and was the envy of clubs around campus. It was common for members to be chosen as Miss Coral Gables, Miss Florida, and even Orange Bowl Queen. But the once prestigious sorority is no more: Tri-Delt folded before the fall semester began.
This past summer, members received a letter from the sorority's National Executive Board, stating that "the Executive Board believes that it has run out of options in regard to ways to help the Alpha Chi(UM) chapter."
"The entire letter was vague ... it gave no concrete reasons | for the revocation |," said former Tri-Delt President Mary Cravens.
ing Reagan's criticisms of New York City's deficit spending, he said that they were not directed at the city itself. However, he said, Reagan objects "to a city bankrupting itself and making the rest of the country pay for it."
Watson was asked who would pay for the 50-cent gas tax. He answered that the program "will make all of us have to cut back.” Profits, he said, would go to an
The UM Tri-Delt chapter had had rocky experiences in the past with the Board. A Tri-Delt chapter must meet many standards: grades of members must be above average, the chapter must have regular meetings and file written reports with the Board, and commitments must be made to fund-raising and charitable activities. The penalty for not conforming is probation.
Delta Delta Delta was known as the sorority with the prettiest girls, and was the envy of clubs around campus ... But the once prestigious sorority is no more.
In 1971-72, the UM chapter was put on probation for not sending in its written reports, and again last year for the same reason. This was compounded by poor grades among its members. Tri-Delt seemed to be in trouble.
But by the time the 1979-80 school year ended, Tri-Delt had moved from last place among cam-

Concerning the issue of abortion, Watson said the Anderson campaign maintains that a woman's decision on abortion is up to "her body and her mind."
When asked how the U.S. could return to its position of military superiority, Sonnett said that the Camp David and the Strategic Arms Limitation Talks (SALT II) could help resolve that problem.
pus sororities to first place. It became a model sorority — sending in reports on time, raising money by washing cars, and performing charity work. Even so, its charter was revoked.
A group of Tri-Delt alumni, united behind Carlita Swanson, a Tri-Delt for 27 years, fought the revocation of the chapter. They sent out protest letters to chapters all over the country. They also sent a petition with 57 UM Tri-Delt signatures to the Board
Even UM President Henry King Stanford joined the cause. He wrote a letter to the national president of Tri-Delt stating, “I wish to express my regret at the loss of the Delta Delta Delta chapter on the UM campus. Historically, they have been a strong, competitive group ...”
The revocation was a shock to everyone involved, and no one was more shocked than Dean Louise Mills, advisor to the Panhellenic Council.
"I was very disappointed to hear about Tri-Deita," said Mills. “They
On the issue of human rights, Sonnett talked of how these programs have been strengthened and expanded. "The Carter record is unequalled by any other administration," he said.
Shipley felt that the speakers represented their candidates very well. "I was glad that they were frank enough to admit to the students when they disagreed with their candidates," he said.
were a strong chapter. Even though they had their ups and downs, they were doing great as far as Panhellenic was concerned.”
Mills added that she felt the problems were “internal.”
Cravens, and Tri-Delt members Judi McGillicuddy and Debbie Ba-binski, claim that former Tri-Delt President Debra Bozanic was at least partly responsible for the chapter’s revocation. They said that Bozanic wrote a series of letters to the Tri-Delta Board recommending that the Alpha Chi chapter have its charter revoked.
The Board responded with a list of suggestions on what the Tri-Delts must improve. Although the letter was supposed to be conveyed to the entire chapter. Cravens said that only Bozanic saw it or had any knowledge of it.
Bozanic admits that she did write a letter in December of last year to the National Executive Board stating the progress of the chapter, "but I never recommended that the chapter be closed."
Bozanic stated that national sent a list of deficiencies of the club in February, and recommendations on how to resolve them. "The new executive board was then elected and it was their responsibility to fulfill those requirements; the matter was out of my hands." Bozanic added.
"If we had known about the letter earlier, we could have petitioned to prevent the revocation ... Now we have no chance at all," said Mc-Gillicudy.
In four years, another vote will be taken on the Board's decision. But none of the Tri-Delts seem optimistic about being reinstated. “It will be basically the same Executive Board who took away our charter . . . the decision will be the same," said Babinski.
Tri-Delta was founded in 1888 at Boston University by Sara Ida Shaw and Eleanor Dorcas Pond. The sorority now consists of 120 chapters with 125,000 members, including alumni
Though the formal chapter is dissolved, the sisterhood lives on. But along with the adverse situation went a certain amount of humiliation. "The guys from the frats kid us about what happened, and though it is unintentional, it still hurts our feelings.' said McGillicuddy.
So, a 32-year tradition is over at the UM campus. “I am just sorry for the alumni who worked so hard, and for the girls who were just initiated, who never found out exactly what it's like to be a Tri-Delt," said Cravens.

Kerr will be the keynote speaker, and will also be conferred an honorary doctor of law degree by Stanford.
Also at the dedication ceremony will be George Jenkins, a UM trustee, and founder of the Publix supermarket chain. Jenkins' challenge gift of $2.5 million started the fund-raising effort for the building. The estate of Elsa and William H Stubblefield assured construction, with a bequest of $2 million.
The Jenkins building is the L-shaped wing which contains offices, conference rooms, faculty-student lounges, and support services. This is the first time since 1929 that the school's eight departments are all located in the same facility.
The Stubblefield classroom building faces the Jenkins building It contains classrooms arranged in United Nations style (a semi-circle), and all are equipped with audio-visual and computer tie-ins.
For all interested students, there will be an informal Reception following the dedication.	i

Weight lifters Gasp For Air

Many of the regular patrons of the weight room in the Lane Recreation Center are complaining about the conditions of the facility, especially the lack of adequate air conditioning.
"After lifting weights for a couple of years in at least three different universities, I have never seen as deplorable conditions as these here in the Campus Sports and Recreation [C.S.R.| weight room," said Scott Calandro, a junior. "I have seen better in high schools.
“Something must be done to improve these conditions. The students are suffering, and the campus is neglecting to get something done about it. For example, the air conditioning has been out now for at least six
months."
"It |the weight room| is overcrowded, and the air-conditioning system is poor," said Robert Levy. “The equipment is old and in desperate need of repair.”
"Most universities have at least four [weight rooms| in their gym, but UM has one small, hot one,” said Mitchell Richman.
A petition asking for improvements has collected at least 180 signatures.
“The C.S.R. has been working for the past 14 months with the energy manager's office in trying to solve the air-conditioning problem of the Lane Recreation Center,” said one C.S.R. employee who asked not to be identified. "The University, in a cost-saving measure, has elected to raise the chilled-water temperature of the recreation center and other campus facilities, in an effort not to cool buildings as much as they have been cooled in the past.
“In an effort to alleviate the problem [in the weight room|, C.S.R. has requested the Physical Plant to supply the men’s exercise room with circular fans.”
