Fake Decals Lead To Arrest
By LOURDES FERNANDEZ
Hurricane Assistant News Editor
A UM student who was arrested for allegedly making and selling counterfeit university car decals has told the Hurricane that he is Innocent.
George Albert Schulte, a 20-year-old sophomore, said he did not buy his employee decal from the university, but “acquired it and I don't want to say anything else about that.”
However, UM Director of Law Enforcement Curtis Ivy said that Public Safety has a signed statement from another student — Ewqp Moffat — saying that Moffat obtained a forged decal from Schulte.
Moffat said he vaguely knew Schulte and got the decal "in exchange for a favor.’*
“I don’t know if I will press charges,” Moffat said. “I don’t want to talk about that yet.”
Moffat, who was arrested when a meter maid noticed the alleged fake decal, led the police to Schulte. Moffat was not jailed, but was put on disciplinary probation.
After Moffat gave his statement, UM police — led by Detective Alex Ferrer — waited for Schulte In the employee parking lot behind the business school. According to Ivy, the detectives reasoned that Schulte would park there since the lot was close to hts class.
Schulte, who usually rides his bike to UM, brought his car — a gray Continental Mark IV — to school because it was raining, he said.
After Schulte parked, police checked the car’s decal. At 1:30 p.m„ five detectives interrupted Schulte's economics class and arrested him.
Schulte claimed that the class was disrupted and the professor was unable to teach afterwards. He described the UM police department as a "banana republic that thinks they can enforce laws when they want to.”
He believes he should not have been arrested in class. "The cops said they were going to get me before, but I didn’t go to class,” he
idded.
Schulte was taken to the Dade bounty Jail and charged with a fel->ny. He was released on a $1,500 tail posted by his father Schulte said he feels that the university should have gone through he ombudsman or dean instead of ’locking me overnight in a cell with ithers who committed felonies.
Jerry Askew, assistant toi the dee president for student affairs ind divisional ombudsmen, said: I’m aware of the situation and to he best of my knowledge. Dean William] Sandler is handling the ase appropriately.”
Sandler, as the dean of student personnel, handles student proba-
tionary matters.
Said Schulte: "Everybody thinks, My God, what a joke.’ If I'm convicted. it’ll be five years In a state penitentiary and/or a $5,000 fine.
But, Ivy said, It was "usual procedure to arrest a student breaking the law and that's what happened to him. He was trying to make a
name out of It.”
Moffat also said that the universi
ty is “going too far. They are mak
ing a big deal by going to these lengths.”
Ivy said that Schulte is just “trying to sensationalize and wants to cover up what he did wrong.”
This is the first case whir* such quality forging has been made at UM, Ivy added "He’s supposedly a photography buff,” Ivy said.
According to a police report, the numbers of the decals were traced to two other persons and appear to be photographs of originals.
Schulte’s car was impounded for evidence — the sticker on the rearview mirror — after detectives removed the sticker on the rear bumper. The car was towed by Southland Towing.
The lot that houses Southland Towing became the scene of another development in the case. According the the police report, on Oct. 19, Schulte’s father went to Southland, accompanied by a Coral Gables police captain, saying he wanted to retrieve his son's wallet, according to the police report.
However, later that day it was noticed by Det. Ferrer that the sticker on the rearview mirror was no longer there and, therefore, a search warrant could not be obtain«!. AS a mult, me ear had tr> he
released
A week later, an employee for Southland told Ferrer that he had seen the father peeling something off the backside of the rearview mirror. The only thing on the backside of the mirror had been the sticker, which is now missing, according to a police report.
Schulte's father has sent a memo to Dean Sandler, who is in charge of the probationary charges, that lists 11 counts of damages to the car and injuries to the owner that occurred as a result of the arrest.
Those include a slashed tire, pencils jammed into the car tape deck, Schulte’s wallet emptied of all monies, damage to the drive shaft, dimes and pennies welded into the cigarette lighter, damage to the
car's interior lighting system, and failure of detectives to arrest Schulte as he got out of the car while under eye contact surveil-lance.______	_________ ,
in m memo to Scntute, Smmrr
wrote that "the university denies all allegations of wrongdoing in connection with the lawful arrest of your son.’’
Ivy said it is “common for people to claim abuse against someone when arrested” and that those charges are false.
For the time being, both Schulte and Moffat are on disciplinary probation. Sandler said he cannot comment on current investigation.
He did say, though, that when a student is arrested, "We usually proceed independently of what is happening in court. We can stay proceedings until a court decision is made and use findings of guilt to find him guilty.”
Ivy said the university will go through the system. “If he [Schulte] wins,” Ivy said, “then he gets off.”
Manley Speaks On Third World
By EVERISTO MOSELEY
Hurricane Staff Writer
Michael Manley Spoke About Third World Problems To A Captive UM Audience Thursday
Michael Manley, former prime minister of Jamaica, spoke before 200 in the Ibis Cafeteria Thursday on "The Third World and its Problems.”
Manley, a distinguished trade unionist, socialist and author, identified those problems as the imbalance between the industrialized world and the underdeveloped countries. This Imbalance, he said, is due to the historical and political dominance of the industrialized nations: and it is in reaction to that dominance that the Third World has given birth to the non-aligned movement.
“Every American should understand something about this, because it is something fundamental to the American political and historical process." Manley said. “It is your own revolution against dominance: it is where your nation was bom.”
An important goal of the non-aligned movement is “to try to be free of the present tension and polarization of the world between Washington and Moscow,” Manley said. The world, he said, is caught up in a power struggle between communism and capitalism and is paying very little attention to the problems of poverty and malnutrition throughout the world.
Manley portrayed the entire Third World economy as being that of the rural part of a developed country, alike in the fact that it lacks sufficient technology and capital, but as yet unable produce the simple primary commodity.
"It [the Third World) has to deal with the developed world for things on an exchange that is not in fact equitable, and is In fact increasing a depressed desert of poverty -in the Third World that is being mocked by the standards of the First World,” Manley said
With respect to international finance, Manley argued: "There is no magic to money. Money is a tool invented to be judged purely by the
results that it encourages. Money was only invented to facilitate exchange: it was a facilitator.”
Money has become a strangler of the Third World nations, Manley said. This, he argued, is due to the fact that half the world is suffering from monetary starvation which without proper trade, monetary management and definition will lead to further recession.
He also cited a deep concern for the activity of the multinational corporations within the Third World nations. These big corporations only function by the manipulation of little people, Manley said, and are concerned only with making larger profit margins for their shareholders.
Calling President Reagan’s and
British Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher’s economic policies “an attempt to turn back the clock,” Manley said, “There are no economic horizons to be conquered other than the Third World. There is no new frontier with respect to Europe and America other than the Third World.
“Europe and America have come to the end of their natural and economic growth,” he said, “and if there is a potential growth in the world, it can only come from the Third World."
Manley pointed out that the unemployment rates of England (13.5 percent) and the United States (10.8 percent) point to an impending crisis.
"You are flirting with disaster." Manley said.

Unity Ticket Sweeps
USBG Fall
By GEORGE HAJ
Hurricane News Editor
In the highest turnout in several years, 1,384 undergraduates went to the polls Wednesday and Thursday to overwhelmingly reject the proposed $30 addition to the Student Activity Fee and to sweep all 18 Unity Party candidates into office.
The CSR referendum, which proposed that the activity fee be increased by $30 per semester to fund the expansion of the Lane Recreation Center, was rejected by a 927-to-413 vote margin, a more than 2-1 defeat.
The Unity Party won its three contested races. In the contested Student Entertainment Committee race, Unity candidates Hilda Mitra-ni and Darryl Holsendolph received 749 and 722 votes respectively. Performance Party candidates Laurie Cohen and Leigh Schnabel received 484 and 346 votes.
This is the third semester in a row in which students have turned down an increase in the Student Activity Fee. During elections last fall and last spring, a proposed $10 increase that would have gone into the general activity fund was defeated by a narrow margin each time.
The campaign was relatively free of campaign violations. Only two charges were considered by the Elections Commission, one resulting in a five-point assessment against the Unity ticket for campaigning next to a polling place. The student campaigner responsible for the offense was never identified, and Unity ticket spokespersons said that it was most likely a campaign supporter who did not know the rules, and not any of the candidates.
The five-point assessment was the only penalty of the campaign. A ticket is disqualified after being charged with 10 points fur viola-
in a show of party support, most if not all of the Unity Party candidates campaigned both Wednesday and Thursday for the contested seats, primarily the SEC seats, but also the off-campus north and off-campus south seats.
The off-campus north and south positions were both contested by independent candidates.
In the off-campus north seat, Unity candidates Ken Berk and Ev-eristo Moseley received 141 and 123 votes respectively. Independent candidate Jeffrey Steinsnyder received 52 votes.
In the off-campus south race. Unity candidates Jaene Garcia and Marilu Madrigal received 242 and 219 votes. Independent candidate Patrick Lepore received 101 votes.
Although the Unity Party did not as a ticket take a stand on the CSR referendum, individual candidates did not hesitate to give their views as to how students should vote. Many candidates used the referendum question as the main Issue with which to lure students to the polls.
The majority of the Unity candidates opposed the referendum, although a few actively campaigned in favor of its passage. When the results of the referendum were announced Thursday night at the Rathskeller, Unity ticket candidates and supporters cheered and shouted as though one of their candidates had just won.
The campaigning on the referendum was heated. Campus Sports and Recreation personnel appeared with literature supporting the referendum.
Those opposing the proposal had their say, too. On Wednesday morning, the first day of voting, three different types of posters appeared all over campus urging students to vote against the CSR referendum proposal
Elections
No student or group has taken the responsibility for putting up the pro-referendum posters.
The new voting system, whereby students filled out computer forms such as those used for course examinations, was a success. However, at least two students refused to vote when they realized they had to put their Social Security numbers on the ballots — a requirement to insure that students did not vote twice.
The student roll used was one printed Sept. 30. Many students found that their names were not on the rolls. According to Colin Gabay, president of the Council on International Students and Organizations, almost none of the international students’ names were on the rolls.
Sid Weisburd, UM registrar, blamed that on the fact that the international students probably hadn’t paid all fees and thus were not officially registered when the rolls were printed.
As for the date of the rolls, Weisburd said that he can run a list of the voter rolls whenever needed, but he automatically runs off the Sept. 30 roll unless asked.
“Given a couple of weeks’ notice,
I can give them the most recent roll,” Weisburd said. "No one asked me for It."_______________________
