Cinder the UM constitution, 48 hours must lapse after election polls close before results can be announced. The time is given so that complaints can be filed against any candidate or ticket for violations of the election laws. Results were supposed to be announced at 5 p.m. last Thursday, after the 48 hours had lapsed, but a complaint was filed by Carter. In a copy of the complaint obtained by the Miami Hurricane, Carter said “there appeared to be no set parameters to this election" and “the definitions for membership were not brought to the attention of voters (anyone was allowed to vote).” Carter was unavailable to talk to The Hurricane. According to a source who wishes to remain anonymous, the problem of how to define who is a member of UBS and who is not has troubled the organization for years. Several years ago, the source said, people had to pay $5 to become a member of the organization. When the fee idea was phased out. the source said, membership cards were suppoedly passed out to members. However, many students never received cards, the source claimed. This year, Hammond said, a member was defined as anyone who wanted to be one, and it was these people who were allowed to vote. He said that while some aspec's of the UBS campaign would be adressed “later on." the problems listed in Carter’s complaint were not strong enough to invalidate the election. Other UBS election results, according to Hammond: Lerel Frederick, of Fire, won the vice-presidency with 140 votes, as opposed to the 50 votes Sharon King, of Rebirth, had. Bell Sharon Thompson, of Rebirth, ran unopposed for the office of Treasurer and won with 129 votes. A write-in candidate received two votes. The position of Secretary was won by write-in candidate Marilyn Walker, with 67 votes.

Panama receives drug counseling from UM specialists University’ of Miami educator and psychologist Doris Amaya just returned from five weeks in Panama where she and two other specialists gave the first training program in chemical dependency counseling ever taught in that Central American country. Because of the program’s success, five other Latin American countries — Venezuela, Trinidad and Tobago. Peru, Guatemala and Colombia — are interested in similar programs for their countries. "I think that what our team accomplished in Panama may lead to the saving of lives," Amaya said “Even if one life will be salvaged. I think our mission was worth it." The training program in chemical dependency (abuse of and addiction to drugs and alcohol) has been offered in South Florida for the last four years by UM’s Office of Professional Development and the Chemical Dependency Training Institute. The program was taken to Panama at the request of the Cruz Blanca, Panama’s "White Cross" a social service organization.

"For the first time, our students there learne* of and became convinced of addiction as a primary illness in and of itself," Amaya said. "They had alcohol programs, but no drug treatment programs as such. “Four of our students will open the first drug de-tox hospital program at St. Thomas Hospital soon. They want to stop the situation before it gets any worse," she said Eighty percent of the adolescents in jail are there from drug-related causes, according to Amaya. The drugs come from Colombia and go through Panama. “The authorities have found drug labs in the Panamanian jungle. They are catching traffickers of cocaine, and marijuana is grown there,” she said Working seven hours a day. including weekends, the Miami specialists covered drugs and disease, theoretical principles of counseling and personality development. treatment planning, and the chemically dependent family. Participants earned a certificate of proficiency in chemical dependence counseling. Attending the graduation ceremonies were representatives of the U.S. Embassy, and the Papal Nuncio, the Pope’s representative in Panama. “We introduced these professionals to the work of AA (Alcoholics Anonymous), NA (Narcotics Anonymous) and Al-Anon (friends and family of alcohol abusers).
