International House Will Remain Open
By GEORGE IIAJ
Assistant News Editor
UM administrators have reversed their decision to close International House effective in the fall, but will continue with the planned International Center in Pentland
Tower
International House will remain open, and the planned International Center will go ahead as planned, due to a decision by Dr William Butler, vice president for student affairs
Housing Director George Shoffner was out of town Iasi week when student leaders vehemently protested the planned closing of International House, lie said Wednesday that he was "frankly surprised over the furor.
"We don’t hear much about the house from year to year We know that it is a positive experience for people who live there," said Shoffner, but he didn’t think the students cared that much
One of the reasons for his surprise, he said, was that there is little continuity in International House from year to year “There are usually only 20 or 25 students returning to International House after a given year," said Shoffner.
“At most,” he said, “only one third of the people |in International House] would be affected, based on our experience over
the past four years."
Shoffner felt that the International Center could continue the successes of International House and International Services, despite statements to the contrary by international students.
The programs have been key to international house, said Shoffner, and "the considerations of an international center transcends buildings.
“We want to use that kind of success base to better address student needs We have the notion of using the concept as stimulus for something better,” he said
Shoffner added that the notion of doing away with the governmental structure of International House or the embassy program was never part of the intent of the plans of the Department of Residence Halls.
The students proposed last summer to expand by moving into adjacent apartment buildings. “Candidly," said Shoffner, "we looked at it thoroughly, and after it was studied, did not think it was a good solution
"To replicate International House into the next building would only add 30 students. If the international student population continued to increase, 30 students doesn't help a heck of a lot,” said Shoffner.
Despite initial plans to abolish the House in favor of the Center, Shoffner decided.
along with Dr. Butler, to keep the House intact, given the interest and support for International House.
Shoffner stressed that students who wish to come back next year to the International House are all eligible to come back, but must sign up next week because there may be other students who want to live there New students who wish to live there must sign up, apply directly to International House and go through the selection process.
Students who expect to live on campus should apply elsewhere in the event that they do not get room in the International House
Students will also be free to designate the new International Center as a living option that will be open to all students without a screening process.
As to the opposition expressed last week against the International Center, Shoffner isn't sure whether the "opposition is actually against the International Center, or merely the perceived closing of International House
USBG Senator Mark Cheskin, who sponsored the Senate legislation opposing the closing, said that he is "very happy that Building 42 is saved," He warned, however, against establishing an International Center until it is carefully researched
The Department of Residence Halls feels that the new International Center will have many advantages. "Over the course of the years, especially over the past year, year and a half, most people involved in this think that it will assure housing for international students, and enable us to make certain guarantees.
"From every front on campus comes the request to gain additional space for international students to live, more space for programs," said Shoffner “That | the International Center| would be open 24 hours a day, 365 days a year We envision the International Center as a living, meel-ing space, a true center complex "
An important part of the decision was the fact that the University of Miami has the potential to significantly expand in the international student market. To do that, said Shoffner, the university needs a facility it can offer to potential students. Shoff-npr admits, however, that he could not estimate how many international students would be interested in living in such a center.
“I’m sure at the outset," said Shoffner, "there will be a wait-and-see attitude, especially from continuing students."
Residence Halls declared its view that there would be demand for the center on "the basic factor that we have a continual-
ly increasing number of international students, and the way we've been housing them could be improved upon," he said
The center would be more attractive to international students and "more visiting interns, faculty and guests could be housed. We have considerable requests from such people," he said, "that cannot be met now. The International Center would help facilitate rooming for visiting guests of the university."
While Shoffner said the transition would be difficult, he said that "buildings do not dictate programs, people do, concepts do There are examples around the country of where a center is working that is housed in the kind of facility we are proposing, both with international students and in many other areas."
We have a luxury on this campus, he said, in that the university has so many different types of housing, including more single rooms than many other campuses
"Many schools have outstanding programs using facilities such as the ’68 Complex. People and effort transcend buildings. If International House had originally been established there, it would probably be thriving, although it may have taken more time. It might have even been more popular, because we would have had room for more students," added Shoffner

Issno Of Stadium Ha isos Controversy
By JEAN CLAUDE do la FRANCE
Assistant Sports liditor
The Dade County Sports Authority’s decision to build a new sports complex in South Florida has spurred another round of actions in UM's on-again, off-again plans to acquire a home for the football team
The Sports Authority's go-ahead to put a stadium in north Dade County is not in the best interest of the University of Miami, said UM president Edward T Foote.
a good location," said Pete Dingier, manager of Tropical Park
“Tropical was built for family enjoyment, tt is not specialty tor
any specific interest group, UM or
some other group, and it should he
retained as such
"If we gave up that park we would be doing a great injury to the citizens of Dade County," Dingier said. "Why should we give them the stadium just for the six home games they are going to play a year? I just don't think this going to be enough."
'I don’t have any problems with the university in terms of what UM wants for a sta dium, but the problem is that they want more than we can get back, and I don’t think it is a good location.’
Pete Dingier, Tropical Park manager
In a letter to the Sports Authority. Foote expressed his concern over the fact that it is disregarding any consideration of the University of Miami.
The possibility that the county was planning to do away with the Orange Bowl, where UM plays its football games, drew a rash of protest from the board of trustees
In a resolution drafted by its Committee on Athletic Policy, the trustees complained that l!M still has a contract for the use of the Orange Bowl, and it cannot be broken until the Hurricanes have found a new home in which to play
The same resolution along with certain additions will he introduced in the student senate in the form of a bill said Bill Mullowney, president of the Undergraduate Student Body Government
"Our position is that they have a moral obligation as well as a legal one to us," said Coach Howard Schnellenberger
“The University of Miami, the alumni and the season ticket hold ers are the ones who actually built the dadgum stadium and the Orange Bowl joined in to make it happened," he said.
"The community has enjoyed it for a lot of years, and if they are going to take away our place to play, they ought to replace it,” Schnellenberger said
The board of trustees appointed a task force with the mandate of finding a stadium within a five mile radius of the campus after it voted down a proposal for an on-cainpus stadium last summer.
The task force subsequently came back with Tropica! Park as the best possible choice, hut county officials are reluctant to allow the stadium to be used for Division I Football
"I don’t have any problems with the university in terms of what UM wants for a stadium, but the problem is that they want more than we can get back, and I don’t think it is
County officials are pointing to Tamiami Park, 10 miles away from campus, as a better alternative
"Mr. |HiII| Bird |of the County Park and Recreation’s Department} has reccomended that this is the route that UM should follow, and I think that I have expressed my feel ings in the matter," Dingier said
UM officials say that Tropical Park has many advantages over Tamiami
Item: Tropical Park’s proximity, (two miles from campus) is within the five mile radius set by the board of trustees.
Item: Tamiami Park is very close to Florida International University and would be more of the Sunhiaz er’s home that UM's
"1 am not too eager to turn Ell into a Division I powerhouse," Schnellenberger said, tongue-in-cheek
Dingier said in order to expand the Tropical Park, some major expansions would have to he undertaken that would affect the family image of the park
Item: The south side ol the eques trian center would have to he turned into a parking space
The equestrian site where more than 30 horse shows are held each year is the only one in South Florida The nearest ones after that are at West Palm Beach and Tampa
Item: Close to 250,000 people a month visit the 275 acre park to use its tennis courts, vida course, bicycle path and enjoy its other facilities
Dingier, a 1972 UM graduate said before county authorities decide to allow UM to expand and use Tropi-eal Park, they should bring it before the people
"It would be fair to have a referendum I don’t see why UM or any other school should be allowed to do a lot of construction just because they have been in the limelight the past couple of years,” he said
"Who Is it going to benefit except the UM?"
