Student may have violated FCC rules; WVUM Advisory Board considers case
By TIM HUEBNER
Contributing Editor
The WVUM-FM (90.5) Advisory Board will meet Friday to decide the fate of station disc jockey Margot Winick who was recently suspended from on-air activities.
Winick may have violated Federal Communication Commission regulations by allowing the broadcast of indecent material
According to Winick, while working her 1 to 4 a m. shift on Nov. 7, 1987, she received a prank
telephone call to the station’s business telephone number. The callers identified themselves as members of WVUM's technical crew and told Winick that they were working on the station's transmitter and would be running tests to check sound levels.
The pranksters requested, among other things, that Winick engage the guest microphone so that they could further instruct her on the running of the test. As a novice DJ, Winick was unfamiliar with some technical aspects of the
station, unlike the two pranksters.
“It was very clear that they knew their way around the station,” Winick said. “They really knew what they were talking about."
Although the callers assured Winick they were not on the air, they proceeded to initiate the “sound check," broadcasting state-
ments over the airwaves, including some expletives.
“At one point they just started using bad language,” she said, adding that this continued for about five minutes.
The callers then hung up.
Winick said she then called WVUM chief engineer Steve To-back to inform him of what

happened. According to Winick. at that time Toback assured her that she would not be punished for the incident.
“He said that this had happened before and not to worry about it,” Winick said.
“I said she wouldn’t be dismissed from the station.” said Toback. who claims, however, ,that he did not rule out her suspension. The suspension came seven days later in a memo from WVUM station manager Seif Elbauly.
The memo informing Winick of
her suspension said that she violated FCC regulations by allowing the broadcast of indecent material during the program According to Toback the board will meet Friday to discuss some conflicting ideas about the exact nature of Winick's violation of FCC regulations.
Because of the confusion concerning her case, a final decision on Winick’s future as a DJ has not yet been made.

Dr. Georgie Labdie, the president of Woodson Williams and Marsall Association (Black Faculty Administration and Staff at UM) said, "A national holiday commer-ating Dr. Martin Luther King Jr is a fitting tribute to his work and to the work of those who preceeded
him, and those who are following him in struggling toward the ideals of democracy which he espoused.”
Labdie said he challenges “us all to view the movement not as a specific point in time but as a reminder that much remains to be done. While we struggle for civil

The 'sweet' taste of victory
Miami Hurricane Cheerleader Tammy McPhee and Sebastian the Ibis celebrate after the Canes win the national championship in the Orange Bowl on Jan. 1. For special coverage of Orange Bowl events, turn to the souvenir section of The Miami Hurricane. Congratulations Canes!
Hurricane fans infiltrate UM bookstore
Avid supporters visit store seeking championship souvenirs
Gary Denton, the operations manager, said no one item is particularly popular. “Whatever we have available is popular,” he said. “Every item is doing extremely well. Anything that brags about being No. 1 people will get. From towels to key rings, everything is a way of proclaiming it."
Gene Page, a 1982 UM graduate, looked through the merchandise last Thursday and compared the celebration to UM’s last championship win against Nebraska.
"It’s great, isn’t It?" he asked. “It’s just as sweet as 1984."
Charles Page, Gene’s father, was visiting from Maine and thought he should take some extra sweatshirts for the cold weather.
“I’m only going to wear this until 1989,” he said “I expect to be wearing a new one when the Canes win it again next year ”

Students are rushing to the University of Miami bookstore,not for their textbooks but for paraphernalia bragging about the Hurricanes’ champion-
ship season capped by the Jan. 1 Orange Bowl victory over the Oklahoma Sooners.
However, students are not the only people caught up in Cane fever. Even before the clerks arrived for spring registration last week, they were busy with
mail and phone orders for clothing, glassware, and any other item that says “Miami Hurricanes, National Champs.” “We have been real busy,” said clerk Lydia Quintero. "We’ve had people who come in and ask us about every item.
They seem to want one of everything."
“It’s wonderfully hectic," said Ed Moehle, the store’s gift and soft goods buyer. “Last week we had the alumni who were still in town for the game and the people from here. This week it’s the students. Next week will be great with the parade downtown.”

Lake’s murky water pumped into canals
Lake Osceola gets cleaned up
By MARA DONAHOE
News Editor
The waters of Lake Osceola were purified last week as over 2 ‘/4 million gallons of cloudy water were pumped out into nearby canals and fresh water flowed in The project was an attempt to clean some of the areas of the lake where debris has accumulated over the years. Leon Lipson, manager of mechanical maintenance at Physical Plant called the debris "dispersed solids." Much of it consists of waste from ducks which inhabit the lake "It’s just a little silt,” Lipson said "Nothing really bad "
Lipson said the pumping is “an attempt to make the campus look prettier." The pumping was done all last week by a Wisconsin-based company called Liquid Waste Technology
Most of the murky water in the
lake was along the shore near Stanlord Residential College and the |mki1 area Lipson said much of the debris flows in from the canals northwest of the University and was pum|>ed directly into the Coral Gables sewage system [ he water level of the enlire lake dropped only four inches and flowed back as fast as it came out.
A lot of the murky water is now out of the lake, although debits of another type is in the lake Many people throw beer cans, bottles and even shopping carts into the luke. Lipson said there is not enough money to dredge the lake to clear debris of this type because it would involve draining all the water out. "That would he a much more expensive project," he said
Lipson said, however, that AKA Services workers periodically clear the lake of debris near the shore.
