Parking fee goes up $20

Next fall, the parking registration fee at the University of Miami will increase from $30 to $50 and the current decal system will be replaced by tags that will hang from cars’ rearview mirrors, according to Jane Galley, coordinator of Parking Authority.
Provost Luis Glaser said the cost for auto registration will increase because the Parking Authority is receiving less money from fines.
“Fine-collecting is down dramatically because there are less people parking wrong,” Glaser said. “I Just want people to park properly.”
According to Glaser, the increased charge will make up for the lack of fines.
A bill to retain the $30 parking fee was authored by Bill Barzee, president-elect of the Undergraduate Student Body Government, and Carolyn Salisbury. USBG Road-runners senator. Juan Diaz, president of Roadrunners, sponsored the bill.
The new system will generate about $150,000 In additional revenue from undergraduate students alone.
The bill proposed that the parking decal fee not be increased for the fall of 1987 and requested that fees not be increased in the future without some communication between students and administrators.
The Increase In the price of tags will affect everyone on campus.
Including undergraduate and graduate students, faculty and University employees.
Barzee said he did not hear about the price increase until Wednesday, the day before the decision was made. He said that it was made clear to him that the change to hangtags would not cause the price to go up.
"The number of parking spaces has decreased and will continue to do so. To me, this is unjustifiable,” Barzee said.
Glaser approved the hangtag system earlier this week.
“I've had previous experience with the tags, and they are very nice and simple," Glaser said.
The hangtags are useful for students who drive more than one car because they can transfer the tags. Whoever purchases the tag will be responsible for any tickets incurred.
But the polyethylene transferable tag also has its share of disadvantages.
A presentation summary from the University of Louisville department of Public Safety shows that the new system could cause an increase in the number of lost and stolen tags and of altered or forged permits.
After meeting with Bill Barzee, president-elect of the Undergraduate Student Body Government, Glaser said he will see “what (ij can do about finding corresponding funds elsewhere, since Barzee expressed concern about the price increase.
Glaser also Bald the increase was “as definite as It could be at this

University of Miami President Edward T. Foote II called the memo from the department of Public Safety concerning police reports about UM athletes “misinformed." He also said that he never saw the memo.
Foote answered students’ questions on several issues at the Undergraduate Student Body Government meeting on Wednesday. “All students should be treated
similarly whether they are athletes, music, philosophy or computer science [majors)," he said.
He also spoke about graduate housing and International students.
Foote said housing for undergraduate students will be provided before housing for graduate students because graduate students are older and the University has a responsibility to newer students.

About 15 students protested the Central Intelligence Agency's campus recruiting visit on Wednesday night at Eaton Residential College because of the agency's global covert actions.
Arthur Hulnlck, coordinator of the academic affars divlson of the CIA, spoke to about 70 people on the “Art of Intelligence.”
“I can see you don't want to discuss Intelligence from the signs held up here," he said.
Several students held signs which read, "Stop CIA terrorism,"“CIA out of North America” and “Stop the lies.”
About half of the demonstra-
ton were University of Miami students; students from Florida International University and others also protested.
Hulnick said he wanted to dispel the public's misconceptions about the CIA.
"We are expected to know everything; nobody ever remembers the successes, and nobody ever forgets the failures [of the CIA|," Hulnick said.
He discussed the press’ need to present information "dispassionately" to allow the public to become more informed without any distortion through political biases.
“We must use special methods such as terrorism and gathering secrets to increase our intelligence," said Hulnick,
Hulnick also responded to charges that the CIA hides facts from American citizens.
“We would not be here if not for covert action,” he said. “There are some things we clearly can’t reveal, or we won't have sources, but It doesn’t affect our credibility,”
A University of Miami police officer asked freshman protestor Steven Lutz to step outside the classroom so that he could check the student's belongings.
While the demonstrators moved outside Eaton, Hulnick answered questions from the audience. Chants of “Hey, hey, CIA, how many kids did you kill today?” filtered through to the classroom.

affairs major, defended the CIA.
“The CIA believes In the real world.” he said. "These people (demonstrators) need to get away from this 'Alice in Wonderland' mentality.”
Peter Lutz, a senior, said he and the other protesters were trying to raise the consciousness of UM students.
"We are not a political group; we Just want to end student apathy," Lutz said.
“The individual doesn't have that much of a say; it died in the ’70s," said freshman Ralph Cavallaro. "Nothing is going to happen unless people collectively gather together."
Disciplinary actions against students increase
By LAURA PLAIA
Hurricane Copy Editor
While the number of disciplinary cases on file at the University of Miami is decreasing, the number of disciplinary actions is increasing, according to William Sandler, dean of student personnel and associate dean of students.
The monthly disciplinary report for February 1986 contained 84 reported cases. The report for February 1987 showed a drop of 25 in the number of reported
^However, in the February 1986 report, disciplinary action was taken in 29 of the 84 cases. For February of this year, such action was taken in 31 of the o»
“Changing regulations [of the administration) ... and more strict, different standards" are the reasons for the increase in disciplinary actions, Sandler said.
In the past, according to Sandler, administrators

tended not to enforce certain rules that are now being taken more seriously.
Sandler said that some of these broken rules are “trendy things," such as students sunbathing on apartment roofs.	. . .	.	. .
According to Sandler, this type of behavior had been tolerated in the past but now administrators are adhering more closely to the rules. Therefore, he said, disciplinary actions against students are increasing.
Sandler said the incidents concerning the Sigma Chi little sisters and various football players made It appear as though the University was experiencing an increase in the number of disciplinary violations.
“If [the report] Involved a football player, It was news, Sandler said In regard to the media coverage UM has received during the last few months.
The media wouldn’t have acted the same way, he said. If the Incident had Involved "any other student[s]."
Sandler said the media have not depicted the University favorably.
Sports Illustrated reporters were in town last weekend to do a story on the University.
“They’ve promised to emphasize the good points of UM," Sandler said. UM has one of the best retention rates of athletes, about 50 to 55 percent, in comparison to other universities.
Sandler said most of the disciplinary violations occur at on-campus housing areas.
Dave Leonard, resident coordinator for Pearson Hall, explained the disciplinary process.
First, an incident report is made by a resident assistant and given to the resident coordinator. The RC and Sandler then decide whether the incident merits minor or major offense status, Leonard said.
"Generally, the cases are minor." Leonard said. But if the second offense Is “something flagrant, it would be a cause for a major case with the dean."
This usually happens. Leonard said, when the

Undergradute Student Body Government President-elect Bill Barzee became a voting member of the Student Activity Fee Allocation Committee at Tuesday's meeting.
USBG President Jose Garcia appointed Barzee to fill the position that was vacated when USBG representative Juan Mas resigned at the end of last week.
In a letter of resignation to SAFAC advisor Dave Brown, Mas said he resigned “due to a large gap between the beliefs of SAFAC and that which 1 find to be the students'.”
“I can no longer represent the students of this University if their opinions and interests are considered trivial and unimportant to the committee that allocates their own
student activity fee." Mas said.
Garda said he realized that the students “don't want the committee [SAFAC] changed." thus he said he chose to appoint Barzee In order to “help make the committee more representative."
Barzee is a voting member oi the committee until the end of the semester when Wayne Pass, USBG treasurer-elect, replaces him on the committee. According to SA-procedure, the treasurer of automatically is a voting

SAFAC Is currently hearing regular allocation requests from approximately 50 organizations who have requested funds for 1987.

person fails to learn his lesson after the first Incident According to this February's monthly report, Pearson and Mahoney halls experienced the highest number of disciplinary incidents in comparison to the amount of instances at the residential colleges and the apartments.
Leonard said that Pearson Hall has experienced an increase in the number of minor violations this semester.
"Because of the construction noise, students have really taken out their frustrations, and there’s been a fair amount of damage in the lobby area," Leonard said.
He cited the extensive amount of noise in the corridors and “a rash of vandalism over spring break" involving vending and laundry machines.
However, he said he anticipates fewer disciplinary incidents next year when Pearson is converted to a residential college.

Since arriving at UM in December, Michener has finished a book dealing with the U.S. Constitution. The book's release will coincide with the Constitution's bicentennial. He has also completed a work on Alaska, which he said should be published sometime next year.
Michener recommended to the audience that potential authors start young and learn the tricks of the trade, although his first book was not published until he was in his 40s.
Hawaii was the first work written in the style that was to become his trademark; he said he mixed fiction and nonfiction because he likes elements of both forms.

World-famous author James Michener told English students and faculty that his “education has never stopped" at an informal reception Wednesday at the master’s apartment in Hecht Residential College.
He spoke to about 30 English and creative writing majors about his latest novel, which he is researching here at UM, as well as writing and education.
Michener has written such popular works as South Pacific, The Bridges at Toko Ri and, most recently, Texas.
In his new novel, he will feature Miami, he said, but he will mainly focus on the Caribbean Islands and the discovery of America. He said he hopes to stay at UM over the next two to three years research-
