Former Professor Begins Testimony

Abraham l avender, former University of Miami sociology profes-
began testifying this week in his case against the University. Lavender charges the University with discrimination and is suing for tenure, back pay and damages.
I uvender testified that he overheard discriminatory remarks •d ins* various minority groups, including females, Latins and Jews, 'bade by members of the sociology department in 1981.
The court compared the human sexuality class taught by Lavender 'he class currently taught at UM by Dr. Aaron Lipman. The classes are the same, according to Lavender.
Tin books cover oral and anal sex. positions, sexual dysfunctions aud extramarital sex," said Lavender "All those chapters are being as-igned. These all are routinely included in sexuality textbooks.
"I agreed to teach sexuality again because of student demand and because of the enrollment it brings to the department," Lavender said. “I
was the only one qualified to teach sexuality "
Since Lavender left the University in 1983, he ha'- been "mostly writing, doing a little consulting." He has been attending various semi nars and workshops related to sexuality and minority groups, as well as trying to find a teaching job
Lavender's salary for the 1982-83 year was $23.705, an increase of 4.5 percent over the previous year — he would have received an additional lump sum, approximately $1,250, if he had been granted tenui e During a tenure decision, three evaluations and a cover letter from the department chairman are given to the dean of the college
According to Lavender, department chairman Melvin DeFleur's cover letter to Arthur Brown, dean of the College of Arts and Sciences, did not take into consideration factors that would have been in his favor; such as, student ratings, work with a Graduate Student Colloquium, a $50,000 grant received by the United Jewish Federation and publishtd work from 1977.
Lavender presented to the court the cover letter for Dr Roger Dunham, who was granted tenure. The letter, also written by DeFleur, took
into account such factors, stated Lavender.
DeFleur stated Friday that Lavender had published very little during his time at UM — one article by himself and one co-written.
In a spring 1981 meeting with Brown. Lavender discussed his teaching concerns. "I've become increasingly concerned about my status in the department," Lavender said during the meeting “I'm spending more and more time documenting my accomplishments it's interfering with my scholarly productivity."
From the spring of 1979 to the fall of 1981, the amount of "A" grades given in his sexuality class dropped from 100 percent to 22 percent.
Lavender testified that, during a tenure committee meeting with Dunham and DeFleur, the chairman stressed both teaching and publications equally.
"He wanted >'ou to do a good job whatever means of publication he had no bias as to the publications used," said Lavender
The trial continues this week.

University of Miami students who have not completed registration and payment arrangements with the Bursar's office bv Sept. 28 will not be allowed to register for the Fall ¡984 semester.
However, full payment of tuition is not required
In the past, students have been allowed to com plete registration weeks after the deadlines set in the University Bulletin.
"Five or six weeks is an inordinate amount of time to get students registered," said William F l.ee. executive vice president and provost for academic affairs.
"There's been a trickle (of students registering late] all through the semester." said Lee. “We have no benchmark of who's in school.
“We'll do everything we can to help the students register."
Over 750 financial aid appointments have been completed within the last week, and there are approximately 300 registration kits in the Bursar's office waiting to be taken care of
“We re not trying to be hard-nosed, only accountable," said Lee. "We re certainly going to be lenient understanding with students."
According to Lee, in order to finish the semester final exams by the winter holidays, registration in August. "It should take about a month registration . . . we ought to have a of about Sept. 20," Lee said. "In the fu-the benchmark will be moved up.”
Enrollment figures, including a breakdown of UM ts by race, nationality, academic major and her categories, should he available in the next few s.
How ’bout that one?

A priceless treasure of artifacts from two 18th century sunken Spanish galleons was donated to the University of Miami on Mondav
Dr. John E. Hall, chairman of the anthropology department, accepted the gift from the Caribe Salvage Company, which discovered the wrecks in I97li
The galleons Guadalupe and Conde de Tolosa sailed from Cadi/. Spain to the New-World in 1724. with the main cargo — 400 tons of mercury owned by the King The "quicksilver" was to be used to speed the refining process of gold and silver ore in the Spanish Empire's mines in Mexico
En route to Veracruz, Mexico, the Quicksilver Galleons were sunk by a hurricane in Samana Bay off the coast of the Dominican Republic, killing over 600 people and losing mercury worth $3 million today
Over 200 years later, the C aribe Salvage Co., led by Captain Tracy Bowden, received permission from the Dominican Republic to search for the historic wrei ks The discovery of the galleops was identified conclusively by the shining pools of mercury on the ocean floor from the ships However, to the historian, the find “gave us a detailed vo w of 18th century life from the finest collection of artifacts of their type recovered from tin sea." said Hall, a veteran underwater archeologist
The galleons were documented so precisely, since thev carried the King’s cargo “This is unique. It is a dated, secure find By these artifacts we can date other questionable pieces," said Hall.
Some of the items recovered include gold jewelers, coins, buttons, crockery, silver and pew-let flatware, olive jars, brass scissors, religious medals and bras, lanterns T he Caribe Salvage Co.'s donation to UM includes olive jars, bottles, cases, pearls, religious medals part of the ship's compass, belt buckles, dice, and musket shot, artifacts which are historically priceless, according to Hall However, for insurance purpose- only, the artifacts are valued at $21.908
"These artifacts will be analyzed in a course built around the 18th century life aboard a ship said Hall Currently, the anthropology department has a Shipwreck Archeology summer program, instructed by Hall
Hail and his associates. Dr Fdwin Duda. professor of mathematics. f)r Richard Bohn radiologist at Doctor’s Hospital; Dr Robert A llalbertstnn as-ociate professor ,.i anthronologv and Dr John Gifford, professor of anthropology will examine and catalogue the artifacts and create a permanent display in the Merrick Building In th. ... at few month- the display may be shovel to the public at the Lowe Museunuftanet Ocean and the Iuslorical Mu - -m m dovvnt -v Mu'
Anthropology professors examine “historically priceless” artifacts from two Spanish galleJns.
After a mid-meeting recess, the Undergraduate Student Body Government Senate unanimously passed legislation asking for the re-opening of the Hurricane cafeteria for standard dinner hours
“The Hurricane cafeteria was always open for dinner for upperclassmen.” said USBG president Scott Kornspan. who sponsored the hill on behalf of its two authors, Eric Robinson and Ron Kiefert. "It wasn’t the food service that closed it — Marriott s willing to open it — George Shoffner doesn’t want it opened."
"The lines are too long in 960 and Mahoney/Pearson. They have been clocked up to a -15-minute wait said Kornspan. "A quarter of a million dollars was put into Mahoney/Pearson (cafeteria) and now its like rush hour traffic. It’s just not as comfortable as it should be.’’
Kornspan urges students t<> talk to George Shoffner, director of Residence Halls; Dr William Butler, vice president for Student Affairs, write comments on the cafeteria comment cards, and call t 'SB(i
"It’ll cost more money, hut don't you think that people on campus deserve itn" said Kornspan.

USBG senator The number of guest passes is limited and will be sold on a first-come, first-serve basis.

He stated that no site for registration is immediately available off or on campus. t<> alleviate registration congestion, students will he able to pre-pay tuition ("Most will still probably wait until the week beforehand." he said )
An alternate site for registration is sought because officials feel that the coni
istration in the Student Union keeps the Union from being utilized for its usual purposes, he said Eventually, an Enrollment Center, which would house student services, like financial aid, the bursar - offie« and the registration process, will be constructed
The pavilion design, submitted bv Borrelli. Frank el. and Biitstein, architects and planners would < >s approximately $600.000 and would extend over tin patio, an open-air building with a glass roof and sun screens that could be brought down in cast of rain
