The rumor that long distance services offered outside the Uni-
versity of Miami are being blocked by Telecommunications beginning Nov. 1 is false, according to Oliver Bonnert, vice president of business affairs.
According to Bonnert, the number eight and an access number needed to complete long distance calls on University lines are being restricted only for students who have not purchased the service through Telecommunications.
“I was assured it was not going to happen," said George Shoffner, director of Residence Halls. "There is no intent to block outside |long distance! lines."
The Undergraduate Student Body Government, however, believes alternate long-distance phone services will be eliminated.
At a USBG Senate meeting Sept. 11, the Senate passed a bill to prohibit the elimination of alternate long-distance service.
“The University of Miami shall not eliminate the present option which allows students to use either the University provided long-distance service or other long-distance services on campus." the bill stated.
According to Speaker of the Senate Xavier Cortada, USBG is trying to ensure that students will be able to use other long-distance services such as MCI and Sprint from their dorm rooms rather than having to go to a pay phone to make the call.
According to Bonnert. students will be able to use such longdistance phone services from their rooms. The same procedure as last year will be followed, he said.

Autos stolen from UM lots

A new look at the ordinary
campus and one was reporter »>
the University Metrorail station, according to reports filed with UM’s Public Safety department.
Three of the cars were reported stolen from commuter lots located off of San Amaro Drive, a "hot spot” according to one Public Safety official.
One late-model car was reported stolen from the Pearson Hall parking lot off of Ponce de Leon Boulevard, and a fifth car was reported stolen from the University Metrorail station — not considered University property.
The car thefts are likely to be part of a general trend of similar criminal activity occurring in the Coral Gables area, said Curt Ivy. UM law enforcement director.
Ivy said thefts occurring along San Amaro Drive could also be attributed to its traffic pattern — around the perimeter of campus.
The auto theft reported Tuesday, Sept. 3 at the Metrorai(station was the first this month.
On Friday, Sept. 6, a female student reported the theft of her mother’s locked, black and white ’76 Oldsmobile from commuter lot 101, located behind the Computer Center, some time between 12:30 and 5 p.m.
On Sunday, Sept. 8, a male student reported the weekend theft of his locked, black ’82 Chevy Camaro Z-28 from lot 308, next to Pearson Hall and off of Ponce de Leon Boulevard.

CLAST
deadline noon today
By DEBBIE MORGAN
Hurricane Assistant News Editor
All University of Miami students on Florida financial aid who will complete 60 credits this semester must sign up before noon today to take the College Level Academic Skills Test.
Students will lose their Florida financial aid if the test is not taken.
Originally, the deadline for registration was Sept. 6, but only 210 students out of an expected 600 students have signed up, according to Dr. Rod Gillis, director of the Testing Center.
UM officials are concerned many students who have missed the original deadline may lose financial aid from the state next year, Gillis said.
However, Dr. William Butler, vice president of student affairs, persuaded the state to allow only UM students to continue signing up until today.
Those students who have completed 60 credits before Aug 1 are not required to take the test.
The only administration of CLAST this semester will be Oct. 5.
To register, students must call the Testing Center at 284-2450 or stop by the Center in Building 21-V.
Defendants’ request for jury trial granted
By MARILYN GARATEIX
Hurricane News Editor
The trial of two men who were arrested last spring at a University of Miami lecture has been postponed until Monday as a result of an error in information on the part of the defendants and their attorney.
Attorney Bret Clark of the American Civil Liberties Union believed when the state waived the jail bonds of Robert Hill and John Gould in order to expedite matters, his clients thenwaived the right to a trial by
)Ufy Clark was informed by the presiding judge, Judge Norman S. Gerstein, that the accused were still entitled to a trial by jury.
After some deliberation the defendants expressed their wish to have such a trial. The trial will be held at the Dade County Courthouse. 1351 N.W. 12 St., room 2-11 at 1 p.m. Judge Gerstein will still be the presiding judge In the case.
Witnesses for both sides were requested to return and the subpeonas would still be in effect until Monday, Gerstein said
Both Hill and Gould were arrested last semester when they interrupted guest lecturer Dr. Edward Teller at a talk on "Nuclear War-Nuclear Peace." Teller was lecturing on President Reagan's Strategic Defense Initiative.
‘He (Hill) was out of control. I predicted that these people would stage an incident.’
Robert Kelly, associate professor of math and computer science
They are being charged with various second degree misdemeanors: disorderly conduct, battery on a police officer and resisting arrest without violence. According to the police record, the defendants are also being accused with trespassing.
Hill was the first to speak out and was immediately dragged out by University campus police. Gould was arrested after he began to distribute literature from the “No Business As Usual Committee," of which both Hill and Gould are members.
One of the witnesses for the prosecution is Robert Kelly, associate professor of math and computer science. Kelly was an assistant at the “Nuclear War-Nuclear Peace" lecture series sponsored by the Center of Theoretical Studies.
Kelly said he was the one who asked the police to come in and take
care of the situation. However, according to Kelly he asked the officers to calm Hill down.
“He was out of control," said Kelly, who believed Hill was irrational.“I predicted that these people would stage an incident."
Kelly said he was worried when he saw the people from the "No Business As Usual Committee” distributing leaflets some weeks before the lecture and before a demonstration they were to have on April 29.
Kelly also does not feel that campus police overreacted.
The arresting officers from campus police were G. Mallinger and A. Nissman. Both Nissman and Mallinger refused to comment on the case or their actions.
The witnesses for the defense included Javier Berezdivin from Hollywood who was attending the lecture that night, Robert Duyos, chief photographer for the Hurricane on assignment at the lecture, and Ahmed Shoreibah. managing editor of the Hurricane, who was also on assignment the night of the lecture.
Attorneys for both sides told the judge that they might have some additional witnesses to present on Monday. Judge Gerstein asked both attorneys to cooperate and inform each other of the witnesses they may have.
