Miami HurnconeAjINA MOLINARO

Members of the Iron Arrow honorary, including Chief C. Rhea Warren, reacted with much surprise to the letter that University of Miami President Edward T Foote sent to Warren indicating the administration's desire to see the organization admit women if it is to once again become an on-campus entity.
Warren said that he did not expect the university to take the stand that it did until after a circuit court in Atlanta ruled on whether or not allowing Iron Arrow back on campus constituted university support of an organization that was alleged to be in violation of Title IX of the Education Acts.
This past summer, the U S. Supreme Court sent back to the lower court its |the lower court’s| decision which said that Iron Arrow was indeed in violation of Title IX
Iron Arrow Vice President Ed Pozzuoli and Medicine Man Bill Estevez also expressed their shock over the letter, saying that they believed that the president’s response was to be forthcoming after the circuit court decision. Both expressed concern over the future prospects of Iron Arrow again returning on campus
In his letter, Foote said: "Times change. The 1980's are not the 1920's when the University and Iron Arrow began. Regardless of laws or customs of the past, it is time, I respectfully urge, that Iron Arrow change its policy of limiting membership to men only."
Warren responded by saying: “I think the president made the point in his letter that Iron Arrow was not fair to all students. Iron Arrow was not supposed to be fair to all students. If we’re going to be another face in the crowd and be fair to everybody, then we’re going to disappear like everyone else."
Warren believes that the issue of whether or not to allow women info Iron Arrow is merely a smokescreen for members of the administration to influence the functioning of the honorary: “We have been, as other organizations have been, harassed at the University of Miami. We have been harassed, in particular, over the last 15 years.
“The climate at the university even before any such issue as females in Iron Arrow, which was simply a ’red herring' anyway, poisoned the environment.
kWe have been, as other organizations have been, harassed at the University of Miami. We have been harassed in particular over the last 15 years.’
USBG May Join Slate Council
By LOURDES FERNANDEZ
Hurricane Assistant News Editor
The University of Miami Undergraduate Student Body Government may be the first student government from a private university to join the State Council of Student Body Presidents (SCSBP) if they are approved by the council.
Five USBG representatives from UM attended a meeting last Friday at Florida Atlantic University, where the proposal was first discussed. It will be voted upon at the next meeting, November 5, at the University of Florida
According to USBG President Aurelio Quinones, the idea for this first occured at a convention of student body representatives attended in Washington, D.C..
"We first spoke ol becoming part of the council in Washington, where we met Steve Sutherland, the president [of the University of Florida student government and chairman of the council|," said Quinones. "He was the one that had the amendment proposed last Friday."
The proposed amendment would change the constitution of the SCSBP so private universities could

enter the council upon a two-thirds vote.
The council is associated with the Florida Student Association of state colleges, such as Florida State Univ-ersiy, the University of Florida, and Florida International University.
This association deals with legislative issues, such as the budget for public universities.
"However, we don't have much to do with them |FSA|. but with the state council." Quinones said. “They deal with broader issues. And they also endorse legislative candidates that are for financial aid and for what is best for the students.”
The council deals with PEPSI, an organization for post-educationary schools which Quinones describes as the "most important education committee."
This group, says’Quinones, deals with long-range plans and is one of the areas in which UM would bene-

The USBG Senate passed a bill Wednesday that will serve to help alleviate the lack of parking spaces on the campus.
The bill asks that a moratorium be placed on reducing the existing parking spaces on campus. The bill was authored by USBG President Aurelio Quinones. The bill was in the form of Class D legislation, which means the bill must be answered by the administration within a month, or it is automatically implemented.
Toten Merlin" Tuesday i\i"lil
The Miami Hurricane will be sponsoring the first in a series of "Hurricane Town Meetings” beginning this coming Tuesday evening at 7 p.m. in the Flamingo Ballroom (room S226B) of the Student Union.
The first guest in the series will be University of Miami President Edward T. Foote Representatives from the Ibis Yearbook, WVUM, and the Hum cane will constitute the panel of students that will question the president. If time permits, there will also be an audience participation segment.
The program will be moderated by Hurricane Editor-In-Chief Howard Burns and will be videotaped by Video Tape Services,
Students are invited to attend, but seating will be limited.
"For the last three years, ever since I’ve been here, parking has been the main complaint of students," Quiñones said “But, there is not much one can do to alleviate it This year it’s gotten worse that it's ever been.”
Quiñones blames the lack of parking spaces on the campus beautification plan, which has reduced the number of parking spaces in order to plant more grass and trees
“This is a needless waste of parking spaces,” he said. “It's irrational to cut back spaces when they are a valuable commodity.”
The first step in solving the problem is to put a freeze on how many more spaces can be reduced, he said.
“We've been told that the student body is smaller, but the number of commuter students has increased," Quiñones said.
He added that students have been told to park in the lots near the Lane Recreation Center and the Mark Light Stadium. However, he said that when he parked behind the stadium, it took him over 20 minutes to get to the Student Union, which is closer than the classroom buildings.
"And the students are dressed for class; they're not wearing hiking boots,” he added
Parking, said Quiñones, should be a priority. "We had to make the statement that it is a priority This is a move that the Faculty Senate should approve because it’s an over-all university problem; it affects faculty also.
“The administration has to provide — make things efficient and adequate."
Golden Key Honor Begins Initiation
By SALLY SPITZ
Hurricane Staff Writer
Golden Key National Honor Society has begun its fifth year at the University of Miami. Headed by advisor Professor Frazier White of the Department of Communication,the society accepts members based solely on academic excellence.
“We are one of the few honora-ries on campus that select students based only on their academic achievements," said president of the society, Ed Salnik.
Golden Key does not take extracurricular activities into consideration: therefore, it is the best indicator of an honorary society, explained Salnik.
The qualifications include that the individual be a student one year prior to selection, maintain a minimum grade point average (GPA) of 3.5, and be of junior or senior status.
The national headquarters in Atlanta will be sending out invitations to all eligible students beginning the week of October 4 Salnik explained that sometimes students names are accidentally left off of computer lists. Therefore, the society will be having an informational table in the Student Union Breezeway October 12-14 from 10 a.m. until 4 p.m. for those students who were left off of the list Salnik said
that students should bring some sort of proof stating their GPA.
If a student wishes to join, they will be required to pay a $40 lifetime membership fee. The society will be having their Annual Initiation Banquet, November 11 at 8 p.m at the Hyatt Regency Hotel in the Regency Ballroom to initiate new members.
The banquet will also include the initiation of five honorary members: two are chosen from the general community and three from the academic sector of the University.
"These are people who have achieved excellence in their field and deserve the recognition of our society," Salnik said President Foote is presently an honorary member of Golden key.
Salnik stressed that the amount of programming depends on the involvement of students. “Honoraries tend to be inactive. If a student really wishes to benefit from the society, he/she should become involved. Involvement can lead to contacts in the future," he said.
When the funds are available, Salnik said that the society would like to do a lot of donation work, especially for the UM campus
Salnik is very pleased with the chapter and the upcoming year. "If a student is willing to spend some time, we are willing to provide the opportunities," he said
C. Khea Warren Chief of Iron Arrow
“This university is a hard place to survive in. The Hurricane has been lucky; Iron Arrow has been lucky If you look at the first yearbook, there are no others left of the original organizations that were on the campus at that time.”
The honorary has come under a lot of heat for its policy on the exclusion of women, but Warren feels that the organization is not discriminatory: “There are fraternities and sororities; sororities take women and fraternities take men There is a black organization on campus There are Hurricane Honeys
"I suppose that in life, somehow, you’re going to discriminate That name has been thrown around unfortunately and used rather freely. If we, in fact, discriminate on the basis of sex: and that's the only word you want to use, then I suppose that we discriminate on the basis of sex.
"I feel nothing wrong with men meeting, freelv assembled, for fel-
lowship. If somebody finds something wrong with that, then they ought to examine the percentages ol women on the Board of Trustees, the percentages of women in the university hierarchy, the percentages of women as deans — very, very few."
Refusing to discuss Iron Arrow's alternatives for the future, Warren said that he plans to circulate Foote's letter to other members of the honorary, and to meet soon with the president
When asked whether or not Iron Arrow can survive as a result of the president's decree, Warren replied “We've survived fairly well over the last six years. As a matter of fact, not long ago we were fortunate enough to have a record turnout at an election
“I feel sure that if the tribe considered staying off campus an alternative, it could in fact survive "
Student Councils On The Way Out?
bein8 represented in the
SCSBP
SCSBP and the Florida Student Association are intertwined, but the state council would have to try to separate them if the proposal to admit private universities is passed, said Quiñones.
An advantage in being part of the council is that USBG would have more exposure to other student governments and could exchange ideas, accordine to Quiñones.
“We would also be represented in the state level," he said. “There are some drawbacks in terms of details that have to be worked out.
"Also, since we're a private institution. we may have conflicts sometimes with the council. But, we'll have to make distinctions when we’re UM and when we're the council."
Quiñones sees enough support in the council to be voted in. "We have a lot to gain," he said.
CHARLOTTESVILLE. VA (CPS) — Last spring, a group of University of Virginia students, calling themselves the Commitee to Remove Arrogant Politicos (CRAP), set out to abolish their Student Council because, they claimed, no one took student politics seriously Now the same group has itself disbanded, claiming that no one took their cause seriously enough “People are pretty apathetic about student government here." explains student Chuck Wehland, one of the founders of CRAP “The whole thing is kind of a joke."
Virginia students turned out in force in 1980 to dissolve the College Council, another branch of the student government
The anarchist impulse this year died out because the Student Council responded, not because of apathy toward a committee trying to combat apathy, Wehland says.
“One of the reasons we dissolved is because the people who originally caused us to condemn the council are now gone. I think we’ve at least succeeded in getting some serious people in there, and now we'll give them a chance."
CRAP organized last spring, Wehland says, because the Student Council had become too political and corrupt. Wehland then claimed that the council members were "out for themselves" and "had done [nowhere] near the job of representing students and their opinions."
“The Student Council has taken a significant turn in the right direction," acknowledges Hunter Carter, one of the new members of the council. “The council had become overly political. Some members were just too influenced by their own weight. Overall, it |the movement to abolish the council| has been beneficial and put a little pressure on us to become more student-and service-oriented."
Efforts to abolish student government, however, are not unique to the University of Virginia
In just the last four years, schools such as the University of Texa -Austin, Dartmouth, Georgia. North ern Colorado, and Southern Illinois at Edwardsville, to name a few. have disbanded all or part of their student governments.
Although the disgruntled students often end up reinstating or restructuring their representative systems, the mere fact of doing away with student government usually gets the j)oint across At Northern
Colorado, for instance, students abolished and then revamped their government, "and now we've created something a lot better," says Mary Beth Gibson, campus activities coordinator
But just in case things don't work out that way at the University of Virginia. Wehland says, "there's always next semester."
"We'll give the new council a chance,” he warns "But there's a jxjssibility we’ll be back if they abuse their power in the future."
Student Aid Is Justified
WASHINGTON D C (CPS) — The vast majority of students who get federal aid to attend public colleges would have to drop out if they couldn’t get aid anymore, a new study has determined.
The typical aid recipient works at a part-time job to help pay for college, gets relatively little financial help from his or her family, and then has to go into debt to make it through public college, according to the study of how federal aid is used.
The study, co-sponsored and undertaken by three administrators' associations in the wake of Reagan administration charges that student aid programs are inefficient and unneeded by students. found that families contribute an average of about 12 percent —■ $469 — toward their offspring college education About a third of the 2.2 million public college students who got aid last year received no financial help from their families.
Those independent students raised 51 percent of the money they needed for school through jobs, and 19 percent through need-based grants
Students who got help from their families earned 23 percent of the money they needed by working, borrowed 19 percent, and raised a total of 39 percent from parents and aid grants.
The families that did contribute to their children's education and whose children received some federal aid had average annual incomes of $16,500 last year
