Miami Hurricane/GINA MOLINARO Hugo Fernandez (Left) And Bill Sponsor Eric Gebaide Listen To Discussion Over The Sunshine Bill, Which Was Passed At Wednesday’s Meeting By GEORGE HAJ Hurricane News Editor The USBG Senate, by a vote of 24-0-5, passed a Sunshine Bill Wednesday that guarantees students the right of access to most of student government, with a few exceptions. The constitutional ammendment, authored by Arts and Sciences Senator Eric Gebaide, passed with little difficulty. The original ammendment, passed last week, was changed in Wednesday’s meeting with regards to an exception in regards to the elections commission. In the original bill proposed by Gebaide, the elections commission was not made an exception. That was changed after pressure was put on by several other senators. It was felt that some of the deliberations and other aspects of the commission should be protected. The wording adopted by the Senate last week would have allowed the commission to withhold information until “after the announcement of election results." The wording passed Wednesday states that “internal deliberations of the elections commission may be excepted from the provisions of Article I [which guarantees free access to all areas that are not excepted).

The campus was papered with the green bulletin announcing a forum that would attempt to answer that question. The forum, sponsored by the Wesley Center-Campus Ministries and organized by Phil Sagaser, Methodist chaplain on campus, consisted of a panel of six UM faculty members: Dr. Shephard Faber, professor of physics; Dr. Jack Kap-chan, professor of psychology and anthropology; Dr. Frank Lechiara, Catholic chaplain; Dr. John Master-son, professor of communications; Dr. Daniel Pals, professor of religion; and Dr. Richard Sharvy, professor of philosophy. The forum was attended by a relatively mixed group of people whose curiosity was triggered by the question of magic. The forum began at noon and lunch was available afterwards for $3. Sagaser opened the forum by stating, “The ground rules are simple. Each member has five minutes to make a statement, then they can debate amongst themselves, and the audience can ask questions." The members followed directions, basically concentrating on answering whether or not they believed in magic. “No, I do not,” said Faber. "I like it, but I don't believe in it." “I think that's a grossly-simplified statement,” countered Kap-chan. "Probably all societies have some belief of magic. It depends on how we define it and where we look for it." Lechtara looks for it in God. “Do I believe in magic?” he said. “Yes. I believe, kind of, because 1 believe in God. I believe in excitement, awe, beauty, and love — things I can’t understand, but I can experience through the people around me." “I’m not going to say anything at all about magic,” said Sharvey. “Whether society approves or disapproves, or God approves or disapproves, has no relevance to a philosophical question.” “My answer to the question is twofold,” said Masterson. “On the one hand it would have to be a resounding yes.

Aid Cuts Hurt UM Students By TRISHA SINDLER Hurricane Staff Writer College students all across the nation's campuses have felt the impact of the Reagan administration’s axing budget cuts. However, the problem has not ended with decreased monetary aid. Now, with seemingly endless delays in delivering these funds, students are angry, confused, and close to hysteria. Many don’t even know if they will be able to pay for tuition if the aid doesn’t arrive soon. “The University of Miami was definitely affected by these cuts," says Ron Hammond, UM director of financial aid. "We received only partial allocations from the federal government and we were notified about those only a week before registration. This was a factor in the financial aid backup we experienced." Hammond adds that the partial allocations barely covered financial aid needs for the fall semester. “If we don’t get the balance for these programs, we won’t be able to disperse money for the spring,” he says. UM’s statistics show sharper cuts than the national average. Last year, $1.96 million was allocated for work-study. That figure is down by $200,000, nearly a 10 percent decrease. The Suppplemental Educational Opportunity Grant (SEOG) program suffered a 28 percent cut from $1.3 million last year to $992,000 this year. “The picture right now is not that rosy," Hammond says. “The Reagan administration's objectives mean that the situation will get worse. We can’t avoid it." Asked whether he thinks the lack 01 , va*kk** has caused a decline in UM enrollment, Hammond says he was fairly confident that the inability to pay has caused many students not to return. However. Hammond says that governmental delays aren’t the only causes of student frustration. He 4points out that validation, the proc- ess of checking to see whether students are eligible for Pell Grants, is a slowly moving process because documentation is needed to finalize the awards. Students who were identified as eligible for the grants, but who had not yet been awarded the funds, were given deferments. This year, says Hammond, there was a much higher demand for deferred payments than there was last year. Several new rules concerning Social Security have also been instituted. Students who receive Social Security benefits have suffered an automatic 25 percent, across-the-board decrease in funding. Furthermore, any student who did not receive benefits for college prior to May 1 will not be able to receive them for educational purposes Registrar Sidney Weisburd says that more students are trying to get loans or scholarships and are borrowing money to finance their education. “As more students enter the university, naturally there are more people requiring financial aid and a large percentage of students not completing their registration on time," Weisburd says. Colleges are responding to the aid delay problem in different ways. Florida State University, for example. has created an emergency fund for its students to rely on until the crisis smoothes out. Hammond says that UM’s counterpart to this solution is its one-month. interest-free deferment policy. “To help students, we often let them defer the payments,” Hammond says. "This way, they can be put on enrollment lists." He adds that not many shortterm loans have been distributed, since the university does not have the resources to provide them. “It's very frustrating tor me and the financial aid staff not being able to get notifications to students earlier," says Hammond “Our hands were tied magic to me." “However," he continued, "I left the Church because I ran across people who claimed to know things I knew they couldn't possibly know, so on the other hand my answer would have to be a resounding no.” The question of magic was expanded by Pals when he began his five-minute oration, which he had written out beforehand and proceeded to read to the audience. “I was intrigued by the sub-question, rather than the lead question," he said. “ ’What do you believe in?’ was what interested me." “Although there is a world of the physical atoms and cause and effect, there is also another realm of being beyond the physical, that is not explicable using atoms or rules of cause and effect," he said After these opening statements, the discussion among the members began to shift towards the question of whether or not there was a God and how God could allow evil in this world. The main argument took place between Lechiara and Sharvy, but the audience countered with their questions and rebuttals. By the time 1:30 p.m. rolled around, Lechiara had smoked at least five cigarettes, Sharvey had exhausted a number of philosophical arguments, and both the members of the forum and a large part of the audience had eaten lunch and listened to a debate that started out with answering the question of magic, but ended up taking up the question of God. No definite conclusion was reached. Every person present seemed to have his own belief. Magic and God, unknown regions and the occult, seem to be a matter of “what do you believe in?” UM Faculty Meeting Features New Prols By LOURDES FERNANDEZ Hurricane Assistant News Editor Approximately 170 new faculty members were introduced Monday in the year’s first meeting of the general faculty. Of the new members, 70 were from the School of Medicine Of the remaining, the College of Arts and Sciences had the most additions. Provost William Lee introduced each dean, which in turn introduced each new faculty member in their school The School of Nursing, which presented four new faculty members, announced that it was ranked second in the country in the percentage of faculty members that hold degrees. Whereas only 6.5 percent of nursing school faculty throughout the nation hold degrees in nursing, 34 percent of UM’s School of Nursing teachers hold degrees. The welcoming speech was given by UM President Edward T. Foote, who described the university as “a place of unbelievable energy and accomplishments.” Said Foote: "This university. I'm convinced, is on a path that is per- Foote haps unique, and that path is up to us to define. We’re off to a very good start and a good year in a difficult decade." r- He also said that as of Friday, this year’s budget had been met and surpassed The next speaker was Eugene Clasby, chairman of the Faculty Senate, who will hold that post until next week, when elections for this year’s chairman will be held “Our university is at a time of profound change," said Clasby. “We're pointing to a future that challenges our finest skills." Clasby called UM "flourishing institution” and said he does not accept others saying that UM cannot become better than other quality unversities. He urged the future Faculty Senate to discuss important issues, not “moderately crucial issues such as parking spaces." He emphasized that there should be no “secret meetings," but that all discussions should take place in the open. “We have the facilities to establish a mode of discourse which is humane." Clasby added that members should use “more decorum" and refrain from using “pungent phrases." “Without faculty approval, nothing real or lasting can be added to the life of the university," said Clasby. “The involvement of faculty in the decision-making process should be welcomed^” ‘While the immediate implications are not really significant for all students, student government is finally guaranteeing to all students that it is their government.’ USBG Senator Eric Gebaide ings and documentation are not excluded from Article 1 provisions.” Gebaide’s bill states that “the current working structure of USBG does not make such a guarantee, does not assure students the access to the students’ own government." Several areas were granted exceptions by the bill. Those areas excepted include personal correspondence, informal meetings, screening committee meetings and internal deliberations of the USBG Supreme Court. The names of those students who use the services of the Student Rights Agency are also excluded under the bill. The last section of the bill states that "additional provisions can be made to exclude general members of the student body from hearings, meetings, and/or documentation . . " The additional exclusions need only a majority vote of the USBG Senate. After the meeting, Gebaide said that “student government is finally allowing access to all students. While the immediate implications are not really significant for all students. student government is finally guaranteeing to all students that it is their government." Gebaide explained that he feels the bill is clear and little interpretation is necessary. "I would expect that provisions of this bill and intent of legislation would direct any body |such as the Supreme Court | to be as open as can possible be achieved," Gebaide said “No interpretation should be necessary." he added. As for the elections commission addition, Gebaide said: “The elections provisions was perhaps the most important, and its guarantee to access had to be the most specific. We are, after all, dealing with the future candidates." Kirk Harum, who is the newly selected chairman of the elections commission, said that he could accept the bill for the time being, but he would not know what problems would come up during the actual elections. USBG President Aurelio Quiñones said that the bill was “a good idea. It puts down on paper what has existed In USBG for some time. It clarifies policy in some areas. The tests to the act will now come as challenges are made. “The bill is no big departure from USBG procedure, but the bill sets a good example for others. Little difficulty is expected with administration approval. Approval is required for all changes to the USBG Constitution. Jollivette Named Development VP By GEORGE HAJ Hurricane News Editor Dr. Cyrus Jollivette, executive assistant to the president, has been named vice president for development affairs, effective immediately. The announcement was made Wednesday by UM President Edward T. Foote. Jollivette, who has been with UM for five years, has held the positions of director of foundation and corporate relations and director of public affairs. He held that post until he was named executive assistant to the president in January Upon announcing the appointment, Foote said: “Having worked closely with Mr. Jollivette for more than a year now, I am among his many admirers, inside and outside the university. Indeed, he is one of the most respected people I know "A major research university such as the University of Miami," Foote added, “is a priceless asset to any community. Especially in these difficult economic times, public understanding and support of the university is of utmost importance Mr Jollivette will be responsible for overseeing this part of our work, from fund raising to communication with our many constituents.” Jollivette succeeds Edward G Coll Jr., who resigned in December 1981 to accept the presidency of Alfred University in Alfred, New York. John W Thomas, who has held the position on an interim basis since January, will continue in his post as associate dean for development at the UM School of Medicine The department of development affairs is responsible for all fund raising and promotions of the University of Miami “Development affairs' responsibility is to secure resources to support the central mission of the university, which is teaching and research," Jollivette said. “It secures resources for programs from athletics to zoology. "These are tough economic times, and the needs of the university have never been greater,” he said. “My colleauges and 1 are committed to providing the additional resources to allow it to perform appropriately." Jollivette said that although the nation is experiencing economic difficulties, “we have a good staff here, a quality university, and the development staff is up to the opportunities ahead. The university has a loyal cadre of supporters, and one of our jobs is to make sure that new people find out about our university and its programs. We don’t intend to leave any stone unturned ” Jollivette said it was premature to determine the goals of development affairs until the visiting committees have finished evaluating the university "from top to bottom." Out of that process. Jollivette said, will come some directions for UM "At that time," he said, "the schools and deans will be able to sit down and decide the programs and needs of the university It will then be up to development affairs to obtain the resources required to fulfill the university’s mission “In the meantime," Jollivette said, "we will be trying to secure the greatest amount of additional resources for this university that we possibly can ” Index Submitted For Your Approval The effects of university bureaucracy on a UM student’s family /PAGE 4 Showtime At The Ring Rrigadoon officially opens the Ring Theatre’s Fall 1982 season /PAGE 6 TV Highlights This weekend’s top programming /PAGE 6 Home Run UM’s baseball team opens its fall exhibition season against Miami-Dade /PAGE 9 Miami Faces Michigan State The Hurricanes are ready for a “very important game" this Saturday /PAGE 9 Opinion /PAGE 4 Entertainment /PAGE 6 Sports /PAGE 9 Classifieds /PAGE 10
