Foote says tuition will increase

Students at the University of Miami can expect to see another tuition increase for the Fall semester.
At a Faculty Senate Meeting on February 7, UM President Edward T. Foote announced that a tution increase is inevitable. "Tuition is going up. The question is how much," he said.
The amount of the increase will not be disclosed until Wednesday, where it will be presented to the Board of Trustees.
Undergraduate Student Body Government President Aurelio Quinones said that in meetings with top level administrators, he and members of his cabinet tried to convince them that the students could not afford a large increase.
He said that he sent a proposal to
Vice-President for Financial Affairs David Lieberman and to Provost and Executive Vice-President William Lee stating their (USBG) proposals for the amount of an increase. He said that the two men seemed receptive to his suggestions.
Quinones met with Foote on Monday to discuss the aspects of USBG’s proposals. The meeting produced a lot of questions, but the final decision will rest with the Board of Trustees, he said.
At a USBG Senate meeting, Quinones told senators that "the amount would seem high to you but it is lower than what they were considering in the first place."
“We would by no means endorse it," Quinones said. He said that he would be satisfied, however, to know that the Student Government had an impact in lowering the tuition increase from the administra-
tion's initial proposal.
“It is now in their hands to determine if all the plans and dreams for the future {of the university) are their dreams or our dreams collectively," he said.
Quinones said to the senators that he is trying to offer the administration the chance to work alongside the students, rather than as a separate entity.
“We have gone as far as we can. We will see if it is their University or ours,” he added.
Another itèm brought up at the Faculty Senate meeting was an updated report on the university budget. A senator stated that faculty salaries will go though a five percent increase across the board with a two percent increase based on merit. President Foote said he will recommend this increase to the Board of Trustees for their approv-
al.
Foote explained that in the past the money raised by the Deans of the schools was not included in the budget. However, he said that from now on, this money will also be added to the budget.
Other increases, provided by the report, included an increase in graduate fellowships and an increase in the library budget.
Foote added that this is a "300 million dollar process" and that the report is "short and succinct."
The proposal for the Architecture department to become a School separate from the School of Engineering and Architecture, was also approved.
“This proposal is wholly consistent with the direction of this University," said Foote, also giving his approval.
The motion, which was passed unanimously by the Senate, will be presented to the Board of Trustees by Foote.
Norman Einspruch, Dean of the School of Engineering and Architecture, said that the proposal to change the Department of Engineering's name to the College of Engineering was in no way tied to the architecture proposal.
"There is no coupling other than a spiritual and professional one,” he said.
Chairman of Architecture and Planning John Steffian agreed.
"Each are separate and have its own goals."
Steffian said that the newly ap-	Mloml
proved school is still considering Qlt5n„_„B moving into one of the towers.	»fuinunes

Spring Election Dates Set

Tour Bahamas for credit

This spring break, the geography department is offering a trip to the Bahamas — for credit.
Students can tour Eleuthera, New Providence and Grand Bahama from Saturday, March 5, to Saturday, March 12.
Undergraduate and graduate students have the option of taking the trip for credit as Geography 525, but this is not required. The islands “show a range of economic and cultural diversity," where students will be able to compare and contrast the social geography and urban problems and developments, UM Geography Professor Dr. James R. Curtis said.
Curtis said he and the students will fly from Miami to Govenor's Harbor, Eleuthera, where they will stay for two nights. They will then drive along the coast and visit small villages and experimental agricultural stations.
They will visit Spanish Wells, the smallest inhabited island, which has been an all-white settlement for 300 years. “It looks like a quaint New England village," said Curtis.
Students will be able snorkel on a reef, and then visit Harbor Island, a new Tourist Development off Eleuthera, which is the site of a Club Mediterranean, Inc.
From Eleuthera they will fly to
Naussau, New Providence, a British Colonial settlement. They will tour downtown, compare the different natures of tourists’ and discuss the settlement’s historical geography.
They will visit three old forts and then tour the village, Over-The-Hill, where mostly lower and middle-lower class Bahamians live. Here they will discuss the social geography and the village’s urban problems.
Next on the agenda is a tour of the west and south ends of the island, cave developments along the coast and visit the Bacardi Rum factory.
From Grand Bahama, they will fly to Freeport, Luchaya. Freeport, one of the more recently developed cities, was developed primarily for outside investors from the U.S. and Britain.
“This island will represent planned urban development geared for automobiles," said Curtis. It is unique from the other two islands because it is “commercial — an international bazaar, with major new industrial developments.”
They will stay two nights in Freeport and then fly back to Miami.
The cost of the trip "is ' which includes airfare (for five separate flights), accommodations, all ground transportation and tours. This price does not include meals, or tuition for the 3 credit class ($190 per credit — $570 total).
All students interested in the trip should contact Dr. Curtis through the Geography Department at 284-4087.

The undegraduate Student Body Government Senate voted 20-0-4 to approve the dates set for the Spring student elections Wednesday.
The bill was amended after being tabled last week due to late changes in the dates.
The calendar had to weather several procedural challenges from the floor of the senate, including an attempt to send it back to the Rules and Calendar Committee.
“I am glad that the the Elections Commission met and talked over any changes and they were willing to compromise with what the Senate wanted," said Senator Mark Cheskin.
Cheskin spearheaded the vote to table the issue at the previous meeting.
"We basically go the original plans back," he said. "It was just a matter of the week for people to look at it and study it and decided for the best so we can have as good and clean an election as we've had in the pitt.”
The author of the bill, Elections Commissions Chairman Kirk Harum was not at the session and the Senate could not answers on changes in the voting time changes.
Minor changes in the bill may occur to reflect traditions.
In other action, the Senate introduced a revised version of the Student Rights Agency’s consitition. Vote and discussion on the new bylaws were tabled until the Senate had a chance to study them over.

Remembering Martin Luther King is part of Black History Month
By GARY CLAY
The month of February is nationally recognized as Black History Month. However, a celebration of black history would not be complete without a specific salute to the late Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.
Dr. King, who coined the phrase, I have a dream,” did not Just dream. Nor did he exhibit ambivalent efforts, but he responded to the need for racial equality with dedication and alacrity.
Martin Luther King Jr. was born on January 15, 1929. He was an American civil rights leader who worked to bring about social, political and economic equality for all people by peaceful means.
Dr. King, a Baptist minister, established his program of non-violence on the foundational teachings of Christianity. He preached a nonviolent style of resistance, striving for civil rights for all
Yes, Dr. King was pro-black, but more emphatically, his message im-passionately sought to overthrow racism. He won the support of millions of people, including both blacks and whites. Dr. King received the 1964 Nobel Peace Prize for leading non-violent demonstrations.
Just as Jesus Christ, with whom Dr. King Identified and modeled his life, he was also persecuted by acts of violence. Dr. King was jailed, threatened, and the recipient of blatant hatred and racism. He was stabbed in New York, stoned in Chicago, his home was bombed in Montgomery, Ala., and violence abruptly ended his life at age 39. A hidden rifleman shot and killed him on April 4, 1968, in Memphis, Tenn. James Earl Ray, an escaped convict, pleaded guilty to the crime in March, 1969.
Today, 14 years after his murder, thf thoughts of Martin Luther King Jr. are still vital. In retrospect, this writer was 11 years of age and living in a Boston Housing Project at the time.
Despite the years gone by, the memory is vivid. While watching a weekly situation-comedy with a few relatives and friends, the program was temporarily interrupted by the saddest news in the commu-

nity. The broadcaster announced, “Negro activist Martin Luther King Jr. has been shot. I repeat, Negro activist Martin Luther King Jr. has been shot." Within moments, tears of agony began to flow and anger began to manifest itself: "They shot Martin; they shot Martin."
Nevertheless, this writer, unaware of the impact, continued to view the scheduled program
As this writer matured and grew in knowledge, he discovered that Dr. King was a man of faith, hope and peace. Just like the resplendency of a candle flame flickering with brilliance in a dark and gloomy room, Dr. King remains in the • minds, hearts and lives of millions The following is entitled. "An Ode to Brother Martin," which encompasses the frustration of this 25-year-old graduate student and may also relate to thousands who are celebrating Black History Month 1983:
Martin, Martin Where do we go from here? Passitivity, complacency, genocide,
No one seems to care.
Since you've gone, my brother, "The Man" gives little support A new street light, a food stamp or two,
And of course, the basketball courts.
The leaders aren’t visible.
The followers few;
Are we finally hopeless? Everything’s so blue.
Why did he pull the trigger?
Why did you have to die?
We can’t continue like this.
Who will hear our cry?
peace,
Was it all in vain?
You said you had a dream.
Will it ever come to pass?
Has the world fallen asleep, tc dream.
Will the hatred continue to last?
You spoke of the Bible,
A God, a man named Christ A faith, with peace,
An agape love, with life.
Should we believe in a God we cannot see?
A faith we cannot touch?
A peace we do not know?
A Christ that means so much?
You spoke of peace.
But died by the sword.
Is absence from the body really presence with the Lord?
You said his name is Jesus In him the world should hope.
You said he died for you and me. And his blood cleans sin like soap
Martin, you spoke of many things But salvation you put on top.
It may just be the solution.
That the world needs to adopt.
What does it take?
Where do we go?
It seems so simple,
Is it so?
What are the words?
How is it done?
Our world is so dark.
We need to see the “Son "
“Receive the Lord Jesus."
Mariin would emphasize,
"God will make the difference. Towards him, fixate your eyes."
Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.'s epitaph epitomizes his personal victory in the war against racism. The inscription reads; “Free at last, free at last, thank God Almighty, Em free at last."

life for
