Volume 59 Number 15 Phone 284-4401 MIAMI MUZZLES BULLDOGS — SEE PAGE 9 Miami ijurriratte TUESDAY, OCTOBER 19, 1982 Sparks Fly At Arab-Sponsored Lecture Miami Hurricane/STU BAYLR Fullback Speedy Neal celebrates his first touchdown run against Mississippi State University. Neal, who scored two more times, had 67 yards on 14 carries to lead UM to a 31-14, come-from-behind win. Colleges Update Alcohol Policies (CPS) — According to the new signs posted around the stadium, there won't be any more drinking at University of Alabama football games this year. Campus police and local law enforcement officials have geared up to watch fans for telltale signs of carrying booze to the game. At Notre Dame, there's another tough new anti-drinking policy. Starting this fall, students can no longer bring alcohol onto university property. Indiana University is going even farther. University officials are making unannounced “spot checks’’ for alcohol at the public areas of campus dorms and fraternity hoilses to enforce a new no-booze-on-campus rule. Colleges and universities around the country this fall are imposing tough new drinking policies and are creating new means of making the policies stick. Students who run afoul of the new rules typically, face disciplinary action escalating from reprimands to suspensions, with mandatory attendance at alcohol education classes. But some schools are tougher. Notre Dame students caught violating the school drinking policy are liable for a $100 minimum fine. Not all students are happy about it. Indiana's student government is inviting student complaints against the “raids," and worrying about students' privacy rights. But the new wave of anti-drinking policies has yet to evoke much student response one way or the other. The administrators' abrupt changes follow drinking law changes in dozens of states over the last three years. Spurred by grassroots groups such as Mothers Against Drunk Drivers (MADD) and increasing pressure from New Right coalitions such as Jerry Falwell's Moral Majority. state legislators around the country have enacted stiffer laws against drunk drivers, raised the minimum drinking ages and increased pressure on liquor stores and bars not to sell alcohol to individuals who are under-age or already intoxicated. And now colleges, too, are responding to what they call “an increased public awareness of alcohol abuse and demands for stricter controls." "There’s definitely a greater level of concern throughout the higher education community to address |alcohol| problems." said Dr. Gerardo Gonzalez, president of Boost Alcohol Consciousness Concerning the Health of University Students (BACCHUS) and director of the Campus Alcohol Information Center at the University of Florida. "There's no question we have a big problem.” Gonzalez said. "About 90 percent of all college students drink, and we know from studies that 15 to 20 percent are problem drinkers.” He defined a problem drinker as "any student whose use of alcohol results in frequent negative conse- ‘Alcohol is a problem on any campus. The whole pressure thing at a competitive university like Notre Dame multiplies the possibility of alcohol abuse.’ Peggy Cronin Notre Dame Health Services Director quences to themselves or to others." Although the number of students with alcohol problems appears to have peaked in the last few years. Gonzalez said. "It has stabilized at a drastically high level.” Twenty years ago, he said, only 70 percent of the college students were alcohol drinkers, and only six percent were classified as problem drinkers. Along with public pressure and awareness, college officials say such statistics have finally prompted them to adopt a “get tough” attitude towards student drinking The University of Maryland, Penn State, Rutgers, Arizona. Yale. Denver. Dartmouth and St. Bona-venture are just a few of the colleges struggling to develop or update their alcohol policies this year. Maryland, for instance, just banned alcohol from outdoor parties in order to comply with the state's new higher drinking age. Because it would be “far too difficult to effec- tively monitor” outdoor parties for under-age drinkers, said Sandy Neverett, assistant resident life director, the school has banned drinking altogether at such events. The University of Arizona has cracked down on student party-goers too. warning them that it is illegal to transport or consume alcohol in university vehicles. When student government officials were recently caught with 20 cases of beer in a university-owned station wagon. UA Garage Manager James Dittmars called the action "intolerable" and issued a severe warning to the perpetrators St. Bonaventure has joined 80 other New York colleges which are re-evaluating their alcohol policies in light of a state-wide crackdown on drinking, which included raising the drinking age from 18 to 19. In addition to banning booze at football games, the University of Alabama will try to curtail all drinking at outdoor parties and con- certs. said spokesman Mike Ellis. "Alcohol is a problem on any campus." said Peggy Cronin, Notre Dame health services director. "The whole pressure thing at a competitive university like Notre Dame multiplies the possibility of alcohol abuse. We’re asking ourselves ‘What can we do about alcohol abuse?’ We don’t expect everyone to stop drinking; but we do want each student to find out if drinking is for him, and if so how much.” Said Michael Schardein, assistant dean of students at Indiana University: “We've consulted and we've talked and we’ve listened to students, and yet we never got a real program developed." As soon as the university started backing off and saying to the students ‘You can take responsibility for the problem.' we found that the students backed off. too." Consequently, the administration recently simply forbade all drinking at the school “We aren't foolish enough to believe that Indiana University students aren't going to touch a drop of alcohol for the four years they're here," Schardein said. "But in terms of vandalism, students flunking out and several tragedies a year of people coming home drunk from parties, we think it [the new policy] will make a difference.” Still, alcohol experts like Gonzalez stress that students must be involved in the alcohol programs. "If you don’t have the student involvement and support," he added. “I don’t care how good your policy is, it won’t work." Public Wants Less Defense WASHINGTON. DC (CPS) — A vast majority of Americans support federal student aid programs and would rather see Congress cut defense programs than education, a survey by 11 education groups has found. Federal loans and grants to middle and lower income students have the support of some 75 percent of the adult population, according to the survey, administered by Group Attitudes Corp. of New York. Eighty-one percent of the 1188 people questioned approved of federal grants for medical research. Less than half the respondents supported humanities, social science and arts research About a third of the people questioned said defense programs should not be cut at all. compared to the 42.2 pecent who wanted to keep education funding whole. Fifteen percent wanted education cut drastically, while 22.3 percent . wanted defense programs cut drasticaly. Public Relations Works For Students By GEORGE HAJ Hurricane News Lditor The Public Relations Student Society of America, now in its third year on the UM campus, is actively working with professionals and students to gain a better understanding of the public relations field To achieve these ends, the PRSSA is working on a variety of activities designed to improve and hone skills. According to Erin O'Brien, Public Relations Officer for the organization, the PRSSA works with student organizations for a negotiable fee, to do promotional and publicity work for those organizations. The group is presently looking towards their national convention November 7 to 10 in San Fransisco Lori Rosen, vice president of the UM chapter: “The National Convention should prove to be a learning experience as well as an insight to what the future has to hold for public relations." The UM chapter will be sponsoring one official delegate, and the president, vice president and secre- tary will also attend O'Brien said that the group from UM will be attending all the sessions at the convention, and will tape the sessions to make a library that all students can use. She is also enthusiastic about the prospects of "meeting and working with those already established in the field." who will also be attending the convention and staying in an adjacent hotel. Chapter president Ruth Stone is looking forward to an active and successful year "This year the chapter has more potential than ever before I am confident that our achievements will surpass our expectations." The society also sponsors speakers, and will be hosting a nationally recognized speaker for the benefit of the entire university community later this year They also do volunteer work, and are active in the community, helping community service organizations such as the Heart Association.

Shortly after the confrontation, a large group of Jewish students, led by Rabbi Mark Kram. walked out after Kram questioned the qualifications of the speaker discussing the Palestinian question. The lecture, entitled "Begin Does Not Speak for Me,” was given by Jack Lieberman, a Marxist and an American Jew. Midway through the lecture, during which Lieberman was deploring alleged Israeli human rights violations, a Jewish student-photographer was asked to leave the lecture because he was “disturbing" the proceeding Mediating between the student and the Arab students were an officer from the Public Safety Department, assisted by Jerry Askew, assistant to the vice president for student affairs, and Student Union Night Supervisor Joe Robles. The argument spilled into the hallway outside of the Union's Flamingo Ballroom, when the student refused to leave the building at the risk of trespassing, alleging that the officer was violating his rights "as an undergraduate student and an American citizen.” Meanwhile, an elderly Jewish man who came in to hear the speaker almost came to blows with an Arab student whom the elderly man "thought said something about being born in an oven." In the lecture room itself, an uneasy peace prevailed until Hillel Rabbi Mark Kram asked Lieberman to produce his qualifications. Lieberman replied: "I have debated down here as far back as 1969 on Miami Beach | with| representatives and members of the Israeli Army, and Carl Bershman, who is now in the State Department. You may have’heard of him. He's written on the Middle East, lie used to be the head of Yitzah Young People's Socialist League. "I've debated at Cornell University," Lieberman continued “I've spoken in upstate New York in ‘I think a meeting like this serves to polarize the university.’ Habbi Mark Kram many colleges and in Florida on the Middle East I've read a lot. I've been active, like I said. I've worked in New York with the Palestine Solidarity Committee I am front a pro-Zionist background myself "I hope that suits you," I ieber-man said. "If it doesn't. I'm sorry.” Kram shot back: "It really doesn't, because you are speaking at an academic setting in the university. and basically we are interested in academic speaking from intelligence . . " Lieberman interrupted: "Why don't you dispute my facts rather than deal with reactions?" 'The question I'm raising is that you don't have, in my mind, the credentials to be speaking about this." Kram said amid the cheers of the Jewish students who made up 60 percent of the audience "One more comment," Kram said "The question is. are you wasting my time? |Because| if you don’t have the qualifications there is a more important meeting down the hall which I am going to right now that I would like to invite everyone else to "I think a meeting like this serves to polarize the university," Kram said He invited all the Arab students to an open dialogue at Hillel and then walked out with the majority of the Jewish students following. They sang in Hebrew as they departed, drowning out Lie-berman's responses "It's unfortunate that you don't have the courtesy to listen to me as 1 listened to you,” Lieberman shouted at them. A Jewish UM graduate student. Helen Friedman, stood up and apologized for those who left “I just want to say that I feel very embarrassed as a Jew," she said.
