Faculty Recommends Budget Committee
By ANGELA GREGORY
Hurricane Staff Writer
The Faculty Senate Council has recommended the establishment of a University Budget Policy Committee which will develop recommendations concerning budget principles and strategies.
This legislation, revised on March 28 at a Faculty Senate meeting at the UM School of Medicine, reads as follows:
“The committee shall consist of the Provost, who will chair, the associate Provost, charged with budget matters (or other designee of the Provost), the Vice President for
Financial Affairs and his designee, the Chairman of the Faculty Senate Budget Committee and the Chairman of the Faculty Senate.
"The committee is charged with developing annual and long-term recommendations concerning budget principles and strategies for the President. Upon approval of these principles by the President, the committee is charged with creation of the annual budget which implements these principles for recommendation, to the Board of Trustees.”
“The committee is only a legislative proposal,” stated Professor Robert Zaller, chairman of the Fac-
ulty Senate. “The committee needs to be kept small to do their job, which is concerned with overall budget policy. This policy-proposing committee needs experts and doesn’t deal with details."
Since the committee will not be a final authority, students will be able to contribute input in the final scheme of things.
“The budget should be a job for the whole university, where everyone works together," Zaller added.
Said USBG President Aurelio Quinones in reference to the committee: "Therf is a line that we can't cross."
He said USBG is concerned with
tuition, facilities, and dorm rates, and that the Faculty Senate focuses on salary increases, compensation and the like.
“That is why we don't have representation on their committee. A joint committee would be a good idea and this proposal is being considered at this time for next year.” Quinones added.
This year the Tuition Review Board was created, which made proposals to the administration and the Board of Trustees, and which is similar to the proposed Senate Budget Committee. The Review Board was mainly concerned with tuition hikes.
‘The committee needs to be kept small to do their job, which is concerned with overall budget policy. This policy-proposing committee needs experts and doesn’t deal with details.’

Nu Kappa Tau, the UM chapter of the national senior honor society. Mortar Board, held its annual initiation ceremony Thursday at the Faculty Club.
Out of 500 possible candidates, 21 were initiated. These were selected on the basis of outstanding and continual leadership, dedicated service to the university community and superior academic achievement.
The ceremony, led by Mortar Board President Lucy Salas, began with the induction of the new members. A welcome address was given by Barbara Cleveland, president of the Miami alumni chapter.
There was also an awards presentation, at which Harry P. Schultz, chairman of the Chemistry Department. was selected as Man of the Year. The Woman of the Year award went to Rita Deutsch, English lecturer. Dr. James Ash, associate dean of Honors and Privileged Studies, received the Citation for Outstanding Service
award.
Mortar Board was founded on February 16, 1918, by Ohio State University, Swarthmore College, University of Michigan and Cornell University.
Its purpose is to facilitate cooperation among senior honor societies, to contribute to the self-awareness of its members, to promote equal opportunities among all people, to emphasize the advancement of the status of women, to support the ideals of the university, to advance a spirit of scholarship, to recognize and encourage leadership, to provide service and to establish the opportunity for a meaningful exchange of ideas as individuals and as a group.
Nu Kappa Tau was established at UM in 1938. On May 14, 1965, Mortar Board was installed.
Among the chapter’s goals this year were to establish more visibility on campus, to have close relations with the alumni chapter, to develop a network chapter for graduated members and to expand community services such as food drives and fund raisers.

6Passing friend9 links9 builds bridges at UM
By LOURDES FERNANDEZ
Hurricane News Editor
After serving at UM for eight years, Lutheran Campus Chaplain Phillip Bigelow will be leaving to become pastor of St. Andrew’s-By-the-Sea Lutheran Church In Atlantic City, New Jersey.
Bigelow, who says he has tried to be a “passing friend” to students, came here in 1976. Although based at the UM Wesley Center, he has also served both Florida International University campuses.
He has also participated in the formation of the Lutheran Parish of Dade County, a consortium of 13 Lutheran congregrations; the University Chaplains' Association; the Commission for Specialized Ministries of the Florida Synod of the Lutheran Church in America; Circle, an association for Farm Workers; and Partners for Learning.
Bigelow came to Miami after serving for 12 years in Chicago, where he helped in the founding of a national hotline for runaways. This program was later expanded and federally-funded.
He says much of his work in Miami has been “bridge-building and linking."
Said Bigelow of this community: “Miami is a remarkably unique place in that we can explore new ways of living in the world of tomorrow by upholding and using our various ethnic and cultural traditions with others who have different roots.
“I think that is critical for any peaceful world, rather than the imposition of one economic metropolitan culture, where the nations have to choose between East and West."
"Both Atlantic City and Miami are urban areas influenced by vast amounts of outside money and affected by the influx of outside people who use these communities for their own purpose. Both are tri-cultural and both have remnants of communities of faithful."
He added that, in this sense, the transition will not be difficult. “If anything, the presence of a stable congregration may make it easier. I look forward to a partnership with the people there as I have found it here.”
“Systematic changes in the community are not controlled by the university," he said of UM. “But the effects hit us and we need to pay attention to those. This university and FIU are both becoming community schools, which I affirm. And building bridges between local students and international students is very important.”
He added that students “probably need more help in asking good questions — because I’m confident they're trying to find good answers. Students are bright, well-trained, but cut off from values systems other than that of education itself, so shortchanged in forming a broad-base of learning from which to judge what is going on day-to-day. Programs that have helped students to shape intelligent questions are more helpful than those that provide easy answers."
Bigelow urges his successor to make contacts with the people he has met. “I would urge him or her to work closely with campus ministry, to develop a closer relationship with congregrations and community groups, and concentrate on supporting the ministry of the laity,” Bigelow said.
He, his wife Lynn, and his son Paul, have lived at 1307 Campo Sano Drive in Coral Gables. They will be moving in early May. His new parish is located one block off the Boardwalk, between Bally’s Park Place Casino and Atlantic City Hospital at Pacific and Michigan Avenues.

General Assembly not serious,
says representative to U.N.
By ANGELA GREGORY
Hurricane Staff Writer
The United Nations behaves in a similiar manner to state legislatures and Congress, according to Harvey J. Feldman, Washington representative of the U.S. Ambassador to the United Nations, who spoke last Thursday at UM.
The lecture was presented by the Center for Advanced International Studies.
"Politics is the business of the General Assembly, where votes are sometimes bought or rented,” said Feldman. "One thing unique to U.N. voting behavior is the regional block in the settlement of international disputes."
One example he gave was the Organization For African Unity, which controls one third of the voting power in the U.N., a substantial voting block.
“The U.S. is one of the only U.N. members, along with countries such as Australia, that exist outside a regional block,” said Feldman.
The major voting blocks are concerned with issues such as attacks on Israel, multi-national corporations, support for national liberation organizations, and natural resource transfer issues.
"These issues are resolved basically the same way every year and the General Assembly session would be shortened by 50 percent if many of these issues weren’t addressed," he said.
On the average. Western European states vote along with the U.S. 80 percent of the time, Latin America 38 percent, Asia 26 percent, African Nations 23 percent, and East European states eight percent of the time, according to Feldman.
“Common sense often becomes confounded in the U.N.," Feldman
added.
For example, he said, many resolutions are passed that don't resolve anything, and often times many countries will vote in opposition to the U.S. on these issues to display temporary superiority.
"This shows that the General Assembly is not a serious place," said Feldman.
“However, the U.S. should remain in the U.N., since the Security Council upholds the peace keeping council and other functions such as communication and world trade.
“If the General Assembly became more serious, if it created linkages between bilateral and unilateral diplomacy, and if attacks on the U.S. in the U.N. were not basically riskfree, possibly the General Assembly voting behavior could be changed."

Hillel Centers celebrate 40th year
By HOWARD BURNS
Editor in Chief
On Monday, Hillel Jewish Student Centers of Greater Miami kicked off a week of celebration in honor of its 40th anniversary with an evening of entertainment at the University of Miami’s Gusman Hall.
Noted performer Theodore Bikel was the featured artist on the program, which also included "Nitzan-im,” the semi-Bikel	professional Is-
raeli dance group from University of Miami Hillel, and Debbie Friedman, the celebrated Jewish folk singer.
Bernard S. Mandler, senior partner in the Miami Beach law firm of Smith and Mandler, was the chairperson in charge of coordinating the event.
Mandler, a graduate of the University of Miami School of Law, has also served as chairman of the campaign division of the Greater Miami Jewish Federation. His involvement with Hillel in the early 1970’s played a major role in the establishment of B'nai B’rith Hillel Foundations of Greater Miami as a recognized beheficiary agency of the federation.
Mandler also helped establish the board of directors for Hillel, which serves as a governing body to oversee the activities of Hillel in Dade County.
Other activities that will comprise the anniversary awareness week will include: a Forties dance, lectures by Rabbi Larry Kushner and Yakov Kirshner, a Shabbat with Debbie Friedman, and an Israeli dance celebration.
Florida International University
and Miami Dade Community College will also be conducting similar awareness weeks on their campuses.
Janet Neuman, a graduate student in charge of planning this Wednesday evening’s Forties dance, feels that the anniversary celebration is a good way to get students more involved in the organization.
"It's a way of making everyone realize that Hillel's on campus," said Neuman. “There are a lot of activities and a lot of people to meet [at Hillel). It’s a place to learn and feel comfortable (at the same time].”
Neuman said she expects at least 100 students to participate in Wednesday’s dance.
The Hillel btfUdiag on the UM campus haabccO liere for 30 years, but the organization itself is 40 years old.
In 1943, B’nai B’rith Hillel Foundation chartered on campus. Dr. Donald Michaelson, Hillel’s first director, worked out of an old paint factory for the first ten years of the organization’s existence. Ground was broken on what remains the only physical Hillel structure in Dade County in 1953.
In 1974, the Greater Miami Jewish Federation approved the present area structure, and Hillel units started at FIU and Miami-Dade. Two years later, Hillel Foundations of Florida was formed.
Rabbi Mark Kram has been the director of Hillel at the University of Miami for three years, after a two-year stint as a director in Tampa. He is proud of Hillel's maturation.
“I’ve seen It [Hillel] grow tremendously," said Kram. “There is now more individual student activity and more group activity.
“Group activity was at a very low level. At Shabbat dinners, we had only 10-12 people. Now we have an average of 40 per week. I see the growth being very substan-
tial year after year," said Kram.
Some of the activities that Kram felt were evidence of Hillel’s growth included: fundraising, a student newspaper, increased interest in Soviet Jewry, the “Nitzanim” dance troupe, and the forthcoming "My Brother’s Keeper” internship program.
The importance of availability for students is paramount, said Kram. "I realize now that students can have a very significant impact on society and the environment “As a Jewish support system, being there for students during the time when they’re deciding on the rest of their lives is crucial."
First articulation workshop hopes to attract freshmen
By AMY JACOVES
Hurricane Editorial Board
Due to a decrease in the number of freshmen admitted to the university, the Office of Admissions is working to attract transfer students to UM.
To reach this goal, the “First Annual Admissions Articulation Workshop" was held on the University of Miami campus.
Representatives from five community colleges — Broward Community College, Miami-Dade Community College South and North, Florida Keys Community College, and Palm Beach Community College — gathered to discuss the opportunities offered by the university.
In addition, the requirements for admission to the university were explained to the various schools’ representatives so that they could form educational alternatives with their students.
Several students who go to community colleges plan to transfer to the university. If the students know what UM is looking for, they can plan ahead and take the courses that will lead to to their acceptance at UM.
Topics discussed were the undergraduate programs and advising at UM, evaluating foreign credentials for admissions and transfers, the College-Level Academic Skills Test (CLAST), the advising of international students, and financial aid to transfer students.
According to Ronald Hammond, director of Student Financial Aid Services, transfer students are not aware of the financial aid opportunities available to them and they do not know the deadline dates for the programs.
Because transfer students are not aware of the aid they can receive, they do not apply to universities.
“We still want transfer students to apply,” Hammond said.
George Gilpin, associate provost for research and administration, said that the pressures from Washington concerning financial aid will not be easing up in the near future.
“We [University of Miami) worry about the costs of doing business and the cost to our students," Gilpin said.
