The referendum asking for an increase of $30 per semester in the student activity fee for expansion of the Campus Sports and Recreation Center is in danger of being withdrawn from the ballot in November. USBG President Aurelio Quinones is considering such a move in the wake of administrative feedback that they would not support an increase even if the students were to approve it.
In an October 20 memo from Provost William Lee to Norm Parsons, CSR director, Lee wrote that while he is sympathetic to the need for expansion of the Lane Recreation Center, he did not feel that he could "support an increase of S30 per semester in the student activity fee as I feel they are already taxed to capacity."
In the memorandum, Lee advocated continuing to seek a donor for the expansion. "I am most supportive of getting this project completed," Lee wrote, “but believe it best to provide the funds from foundations and/or private sources if possible."
Parsons said that he interpreted the memo to mean that the university does not support the referendum concept. “Understanding that," Parsons said, "we will not do any further campaigning for the referendum, as that would be in contrast to what Dr. Lee is saying."
Parsons had scheduled a series of meetings with various student groups and organizations in order to discuss the referendum isssue and what expansion would entail
Lee said Wednesday that he did not interpret his memo to mean that the administration has taken a position on the referendum. He did say, however, that he felt “the door had not been shut on getting the funds
from the original donor foundj tion" Phil lane gave $l million for the original construction of the center.
“We are looking at every opportunity to raise funds in order not to burden the students financially I think the students are already overburdened We need this very much, but not at the expense of student funds if we can get it bny other way," Lee said
He added that he would "hate for this group of students to penalize the next group of students" financially. Lee said that room for negotiations are| still alive, and all options have not yet been exhausted in the search for funds. Until that is done, he said, he w-ouldn't wont to resort to a student activity fee hike
Parsons said that he would not ask the USBG Senate to withdraw the referendum from consideration in the November election. “It w is the students who put up the reft r-endum," he said.
Quinones reported to the USBG Senate Wednesday that the referendum "probably will not go on the ballot." Quinones has until Wednesday to either sign or veto the hill containing the referendum Without positive signs from the administration about the referendum. Quinones said he would not sign the measure.
He did express concern that the administration was interfering with student government’s right to put measures of concern before the student body. In a memorandum to Lee, Quinones said: "I strongly feel that any decision on whether to increase or decrease the Student Activity Fee lies solely with the students.
“Therefore I request that the administration's position on the expenditure of the money be clarified so that we can put the proposal to the students for their approval."

Faces Robbery Charges
Returns To UM

A 23-year-old University of Miami student was arrested last week and charged with robbing four Coral Gables banks.
Mark Cirillo, a general studies major who needs only nine credits to graduate, was released on SI5,000 bond posted by his father. He will be coming to trial soon, according to Sgt. James Butler of the Coral Gables police.
Cirillo is charged with robbing the following banks:
• First Nationwide Savings, 2525 LeJeune Rd., on Oct. 1 at 2:30 p.m, $2,450 was taken.
"It’s an appreciation of what a soldier has to go through,” said Lt. Col. John Sheridan. “It’s a foundation — a step. It's people doing a
job."
Sheridan, chairman of UM ROTC, was talking about the men and women who have decided to make ROTC an important part of their lives.
Cadets from the University of Miami, Miami-Dade Community College's South and North campuses, and Broward Community College gathered this past weekend for a three-day training. Their mission: Operation Overlord.
Operation Overlord is designed to place the cadets in an environment which forces them to acquire basic survival training, as well as training needed for combat situations. It is an extension of classroom work. The goal is to gain field experience. But the learning does not begin or end there.
This reporter was given the chance to be a part of the entire three-day training period. ROTC soldiers clothed in army attire began by boarding a 2 Vfc-ton truck.
They were taken to an army training camp in Homestead, next to the Metrozoo. and separated into two camps. Each camp was further divided into squads.
The practical training was in reconnaissance patrol. In recon patrol, operations are organized to locate the enemy in order to gain valuable information without involving direct contact. This phase in the mission involves contingency planning, thorough preparations and other tasks which will insure success. Heavy camouflage is needed and noise discipline is essential. Planning can “make or break the mission."
The essence of recon patrol cannot fully be explained or described, for it can only be achieved through field experience.
•	Barnett Bank, 4500 LeJeune Rd., on Oct. 8 at 12:30 p.m $2,700 was stolen.
•	Hollywood Federal, 2299 Ponce de Leon Blvd., on Oct. 15 at 10:10 a.m. The robber got $2,100 here.
•	Ponce de Leon Federal, 1220 Ponce de Leon Blvd., on Oct. 19 at 3:15 p.m. $2,080 was stolen.
In each case, Cirillo is been charged with showing a teller a note printed in black ink on white paper. He is not charged with using a firearm in any of the robberies.
In each case, there were no guards, since each bank is a small branch office.
"This is a boring game. That's why we get mental tough,"said Juan Romero, a fourth-year cadet.
One criticism often facing the ROTC organization is the claim that the military is invading the educational community at the university.
“We need mature, clear-thinking leaders in the military," said Sheridan."A college education should be a part of the broad spectrum."
Twenty-five cadets are presently on full scholarships When a senior cadet graduates, he or she can choose whether to stay in the army and be commissioned in one of the 16 branches, among them infantry, combat, service support, financial core implementation and such special branches as doctors and attorneys.
They can also leave the army and obtain a well-trained job. As Captain Huffman said."ROTC is a microcosm of the society as a whole."
The issue of women in the military cannot be evaded, for women are slowly playing a greater role. Said Sheridan about the question of women in the army: "There is some recognized leniency. There is a built-in understanding of the differences in certain physical capabilities. There are built-in standards, but they [ women | receive the same training."
One third-year cadet said that women are a part of society and that they are given the chance “to be all that they can be." The subtle competition that docs exist between the men and women in the army, he said, serves as a positive reinforcement.
That same cadet summed up ROTC life: “ROTC is a society within a society. It's rank. You have to work your way up. It’s got its own constitution."
"It’s a total experience,” said Cadet Lt. Col. Bart Stovicek. "It helps build character and helps people to deal with all sorts of situations. It's a total person-building thing. It's a holistic environment. "

Butler said that the police knew the robber had to be a local resident, since the banks were all in the same area and the robberies followed a pattern.
After the Oct. 19 robbery, during which a working surveillance camera photographed the robber, the police, along with FBI agents, set up stakeouts at six banks. They showed employees at each banks the surveillance camera photos.
At one Barnett Bank branch, they finally got a clue.
Employees there told police that the robber was the son of a businessman with an office upstairs in the same building. According to Butler, Cirillo worked in his father’s business.
Police followed Cirillo last Thursday when he left his family's lavish waterfront home at 4225 University Drive. Cirillo ate lunch at Fancy's Restaurant, paid his $10.16 check, and went to class, police said.
Police confiscated the money he used to pay the bill in order to match the stolen bills. Detectives then waited for arrest warrants while sitting outside Cirillo’s classroom.
Later, at 6:20 p.m., Cirillo was arrested at Blue Road and Alhambra Circle. Police recovered $320 from his car.
According to Butler, the serial numbers match those stolon, and Cirillo's fingerprints were on the money.
“He was being threatened to pay some cocaine and gambling debts — especially cocaine," Butler said. "He told us that he had already used $5,000 of the stolen money to repay some of those debts."
The rest of the $9,000 has not been recovered. Butler speculated that Cirillo may have used it to buy more cocaine.
Francis Houghtaling has returned to the University of Miami.
Houghtaling was the first student to register at the University of Miami. He was also one of the founders of the Iron Arrow Honor Society. He is at UM for his 50th reunion.
Born in Michigan in 1907, Houghtaling came to Miami with his family in 1911. He said his family mingled in the social circles of Judge Brian Walsh, the chairman of the Board of Regents who eventually enlisted the help of William Jennings Bryan and George Merrick in establishing an institution of learning in the South Florida area
Houghtaling, an agricultural researcher, is currently writing a book about Dr. Bowman Foster Ashe entitled Florida's Pioneer Educator — Bowman Foster Ashe — L Ms First President.
Because Houghtaling lived in Miami for 58 years, he knows a great deal about the settling of the Indians in the area.
Houghtaling talked about his role in the founding of Iron Arrow
“I gave Dr. Ashe the idea of having a club on the University, bringing out the virtues of the difference between the Indian’s way of thinking and the white man's way of thinking." Houghtaling said
Houghtling angrily spoke of the the white man's desire to take over the land and their idea of possession. "He (the white man| is not happy unless he can put his foot down and rule."
Houghtaling said that Ashe asked him to go over to a nearby reservation and find out who was in charge. Tony Tommy, the leader of the tribe, came in to talk to Ashe
about the idea of setting up an orga nization within the University.
Howard Southgate, who was the drama instructor, was appointed to organize Iron Arrow. Southgate conferred with Houghtaling on the suggestion of names for the charter members.
“No one knew I ever had anything to do with it |the formation of Iron Arrow | until 20-some-odd years later," Houghtaling said "Dr Ashe let it out of the bag."
He said that Ashe wanted the organization to be a high-caliber honor society that would keep in line with the purpose of the university.
"It's surprised me how' religiously they've kept to the original purpose of Dr. Ashe." Houghtaling said.
He stated that the purpose of Iron Arrow, which still holds true today, is "to have an organizaton which has been pioneering, uplifting to bring the Indian out of degradation and minority status . . to a high level."
Houghtaling also picked the name for the yearbook, the Ibis.
"I selected the Ibis name.” he said, "because no one knew at the time that it was a sacred bird in Egypt and there were a few of them in the middle of Florida."
Houghtaling majored in pre-medical studies at the University of Miami and was accepted to Alabama Medical School. Yet, he said that he wasn't out to be a doctor
"I was out to get information for the benefit of using my information as to the elements that made farming more successful." he said
Houghtaling currently has a research program in three states, in which garden and fruit products art-grown without any insecticides. He has been living in Ohio for the past 13 years, but plans on moving to California soon
l Ms Advising System Planning For Future
By RHONDA GINSBERG
Hurricane Staff Writer
The advising office is currently undergoing some changes in order to better serve the students in the College of Arts and Sciences, according to Maureen Short, director of academic advising.
Learning from the feedback of students that the advising office needed help, "a commitment was made by Dean Arthur Brown and Assistant Dean James Ash to improve the advising procedures," Short said.
Short, who used to be assistant dean of students, said that advising students is very important because it is likely that a student will change his major two to three times.
"Communication is the first thing the office needs to improve," she said. “In the future, there shall be letters and newsletters to inform the students and to let them know what is going on.”
In the past, students and faculty have felt that advising was a cold and unpleasant event, Short said. One senior, Norman Waas, called advising "uncaring" during Ins freshman year — until he was blessed with an advisor who really cared.
The present advising office wi 11 do all the work; in the past, it was up to the faculty members to schedule apj>ointments and gather all the needed information. Now all the student and advisor must do is meet in the advising office (Ashe 223) at a particular time with all the student's records at their fingertips.
Three private rooms have been added to the advising office in order to have an easygoing atmosphere, according to Short.
Also, a survey was taken of all the upperclassmen. The survey asked the students w ho they thought would make good advisors. This has been instrumental in helping the advising office pick faculty members who care and have the time to advise students.
"The faculty has been just terrific," Short said.
Those students who are unclassified majors are also receiving specialized advising. They have the opportunity to enroll in a 100-level psychology class in which they can meet with various advisors in order to learn about programs and opportunities and how they can adjust to university life.
Last year, the Student Academic Student Service Center sponsored free tutoring for students in any subject; although this was ended for financial reasons.
Tutoring is now available in the College of Arts and Sciences through the advising office. Tutors are available in a variety of freshmen and upper-level undergraduate courses for a fee of $2 per hour.
Each student must meet with their advisor prior to the end of the fall semester and the advising office is going to make sure that this will not be a hassle. Short said.
