McCarthy, Ehrlichman debate on past and present issues
By MIKE JOHNS
Hurricane Staff Writer
Both current events and past issues were discussed last Monday evening when former Minnesota Sen. Eugene McCarthy, a Democrat, and John Ehrlichman, former counsel and special assistant to President Nixon, debated on "The First Amendment: the Congress and the Presidency."
The debate, sponsored by Lecture Series, was held in the Ibis Cafeteria.
Although many interesting points were made on this topic, neither McCarthy nor Ehrlichman could hold back from discussing the recent developments in both domestic and world events.
Miami Hurricane/JEEF GOTTLIEB
McCarthy speaks
In an earlier press conference, McCarthy promoted "jobs-sharing," a program indictive of the liberal FDR years.
Responding to a question concerning the role of organized labor in the 1984 elections, McCarthy said: "Any early endorsement will hurt the Democrats."
McCarthy, who endorsed Ronald Reagan over Jimmy Carter in 1980, spoke positively of the current administration.
Ehrlichman, who was very influential in the Nixon administration's creation of the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and its creation of both the Clean-Air and Clean-Water acts, spoke at great length on Reagan's recent appointment of William Ruckelshaus to the presently politically-heated EPA.
According to Ehrlichman, Ruckelshaus (who was appointed as the first EPA director under Nixon) was “a man who tends to make his corners very square." He added that Ruckelshaus has a great commitment to environmental concerns.
Ehrlichman also said he found the Carter administration's world policies deplorable. He said Nixon's policies had attempted to develop a structural world peace through negotiations with Russia, alliances with China and the ending of the Vietnam War.
But these policies were virtually destroyed under Carter, who neglected and deteriorated U.S. global interests, according to Ehrlichman.
He cited such examples as the fall of the Shah in Iran and the fall of Somoza in Nicaragua as an indication of the deterioration. "Jimmy Carter very quietly set the path of today's global problems," said Ehrlichman.
Concerning 1984, Ehrlichman said: "Reagan is under tremendous pressure to seek reelection. Ronald Reagan is a radical, who believes he owes the people to stick to his policies."
During the debate itself, McCarthy remarked that he would like to see “those in power give the public information they need to make decisions at the polls."
He also ridiculed the isolationism of the Central Intelligence Agency and said it keeps itself detached from Congress and the public.
Ehrlichman responded that “there are many exceptions for government disclosures.
“The people have little use for government information," said Ehrlichman. And the CIA very seldom keeps information from their congressional overseers.”
There are numerous defense secrets, sensationalized FBI investigations, legislative initiatives, and executive privileges which have no place as public knowledge, Ehrlichman stated.
One of Nixon’s tributes, he added, was that “he was a man of remarkable recall” and used his knowledge of Washington’s ins and outs to his advantage
Both Ehrlichman and McCarthy agreed that there is little continuity in administration successions.
Following the debate, the floor was opened to questions. One individual, David Miller, brought up the question of a connection between the Republican party and the Nazis.
Ehrlichman firmly discounted any connection.
Another questioner then asked Ehrlichman what the burglars were looking for in the Watergate building, to which Ehrlichman responded: “I don’t know, next question."
Miami Hurricanc/JEFF GOTTLIEB Ehrlichman responds
The questioner then asked McCarthy about the connections between the funding of the 1972 Democratic presidential campaign through Moscow via Hanoi and Havana. McCarthy claimed ignorance.
Another topic discussed was the character of Nixon.
Ehrlichman said he was convinced that “Nixon did not have pre-knowledge of the Watergate break-in; however, Nixon could not cut the strings and was fascinated with the Watergate problem."
Changes in dorms to be implemented
By SALLY SPITZ
Hurricane Annodate News Editor
Many changes in the residence halls and the apartment areas are in the process of being implemented for the 1983-84 academic year.
One of these changes includes the closing of certain facilities; among these are the 1968 Complex, Apartment Buildings 24-29 (Family Housing), and Buildings 37 and 41 (Single Student Housing).
George Shoffner, director of Residence Halls, explained that 1968 will be closed due to a decline in enrollment. At the present time, he stated that there are 650 vacancies on campus, which corresponds to about a tower and a half.
Shoffner added that the residence halls face another problem besides an enrollment decline. He stated that problem as an “enrollment shift."
“We are moving away from the regional or national university, where high percentages of the students come from out of state," he said. He added that the University of Miami is largely composed of
commuter students.
According to Shoffner, the residence halls office is trying to concentrate these vacancies by closing this tower.
"Our intent is to try to get vacancies in a place where it is largely concentrated, as opposed to letting it happen wherever it happens," he said.
A number of plans are on the table for the use of 1968. One of the proposals was made by the newly established School of Architecture.
At the present time, the school is eyeing the West Tower for its academic facility. The East Tower, according to Shoffner, may be used for increased conference housing and visiting teams.
The apartments are being vacated as part of the campus master plan. According to Residence Halls Roomers, this space will be used for “landscaping, parking, and an extension of the lake with a picturesque walkway."
Shoffner said that the residents in the apartments were notified about these plans a year in advance. “Those who have indicated that they wish to live elsewhere on cam-

pus have been accommodated,” he said.
Another major change involves the moving of the International Center. The center, which opened last fall in 1968, will be moved to the 6th and 7th floors of Mahoney Hall. According to Roomers, the International Center is moving to this new location “in order to provide better facilities to our ever-increasing international population.”
Kitchens will also be built on each floor, to be utilized by the International Center.
Those who currently live on the 6th and 7th floors will have the opportunity to relocate and will be assisted by staff members on their floors.
Shoffner hopes that all of these changes will be implemented over the summer months

It’s the 80s — a decade full of surprises and medical advances. New breakthroughs in science are constantly making the headlines. And test-tube babies — once believed by many to be inconceivable and impossible — are now a reality.
Scheduled to open in six to eight weeks is Florida’s first test-tube baby clinic. In-Detro Center, under the guidance of the University of Miami's Department of Gynecology.
According to Dr. Arthur Shapiro, UM professor of obstetrics and gynecology, the procedure is available to women who are not able to conceive.
Patients will include women who have'absence, closed or fail-operation on their fallopian tubes by surgery,” said Shapiro.
He added that women will only be fertilized with their husband's sperm. No surrogate mothers will be accepted in the program.
Shapiro emphasized that the test-tube baby clinic “keeps intact the husband and wife." It also gives a chance for couples to have a baby.
The process involves the removal of human eggs from the woman’s body, fertilizing the egg with sperm
and inserting the growing embryo in the womb.
However, doctors say there are no guarantees. Shapiro suggests that the procedure should be repeated at least four times, but it all depends on how much a couple can afford. The clinic's fee of $3,500 to $4,000 includes surgery and visits nearly every day for one month by the mother-to-be.
At times the process does not work, since it is not the natural way. (Doctors insert the egg through the vagina.)
But the procedure at least offers couples without hope a 10 to 15 percent "chance," said Shapiro.
This chance is what has led to the demand for the clinic's service. However, couples may even have to wait five to 10 years before they are accepted into the UM clinic
When asked how they felt about test-tube babies, UM students shared divergent opinions.
Leslie McKensie feels that test-tube babies are "artificial" and Frida Wone says, "... it is man tampering with nature."
“1 agree with the Catholics in that anything which is not natural is immoral." said McKensie "And
to me, a test-tube baby is immoral."
She adds that if “you’re not meant to have a child, then don’t have one; there must be a reason."
Instead. McKensie suggests that by adopting "one helps other kids that are already here."
However, Liz Albert feels it is a “hassle" to have to go through adoption procedures in order to -„-start a family. She said that if she cannot conceive a baby, then she'd w-ant it as close as possible to her “flesh and blood." Albert draws the line in being a surrogate mother for someone else.
Lorie Marks comments that a test-tube baby is a "father's baby” and not illegitimate since the baby would be just as wanted
Still another student, Mark La-Ferrara, feels that a test-tube baby is “just as legitimate because it is not someone else's baby — as in the case where a donor was incolved " The baby is part of "both of us" — the mother and father
"If I was well off and I could afford to adopt, then 1 wouid said Marks. But if she couldn't afford it, then Marks would want to have a test-tube baby.
