Campus, Gables interact
UM, businesses help each other

This is the first part in a series examining the effects of the University of Miami on Coral Gables.
, Like the bond between mother and child and the union between husband and wife, the relationship between the University of Miami and the city of Coral Gables is a constantly changing one with its share of ups and downs.
Don Anguish, associate vice president for business affairs, says, however, that the relationship is healthy, cooperative and based on a sharing of common interests.
“We're citizens of the community too, and we try our best to be good citizens,” Anguish said. “When the city prospers, we prosper."
Local business owners agree this “kinship" is mutually beneficial. Brian Maloney, owner and manager of Allsports, a sportswear shop that sells mostly Miami Hurricane paraphernalia, says his relationship with UM is "definitely a two-way street.” “Although a significant amount of our business does come from the community, it is essentially because of the University,” Maloney said.
In return, Maloney said Allsports offers a 10 percent discount to UM students and faculty and is very active in the Hurricane Club, an alumni group that supports University athletics.
“We do sponsor a lot of events,” he said. “This year we've donated T-shirts for CSR’s | Campus Sports and Recreation | Halloween softball tournament and provided prizes for [ Program Council’s) Hurricane Hunt."
Some businesses say the college student clientele directly affects the way they operate as well as the types of services they offer.
Mark Feil, assistant audio manager for Spec’s Music Stores, says that besides adding to sales, UM students have a direct Impact on what the record store stocks.
“We carry a lot of things that none of the other Spec’s carry simply because of the demand for it,” he said. “We carry a lot more jazz, alternative music and particularly imports.”
Other businesses, such as Kinko's Copies, located directly across from UMonU.S. 1,offer services specifically aimed at college students.
According to store manager Martha Sanchez, a Kinko’s copy center is located near almost every major university in the United States.
“We are geared toward college people — the professors as well as the students," Sanchez said. “That’s why we’re open 24 hours, to accommodate the students who we know are up studying at all hours.”
Sanchez added that during exam time, she feels much of the pressure students are feeling.
“But it's great to have a young crowd around us," Sanchez said. “All in all it’s a good relationship."

Health squad: We’re poor
First Aid denied SAFAC funding
By MICHELLE M. PEREZ

University of Miami First Aid Squad officers say their group needs more money for training and supplies, but cannot get it from student activity fee funding because the group is affiliated with the Health Center.
Dr. Eugene Flipse, director of UM’s Health Center and supervisor of the squad, said the organization has operated for five years and consists of students who donate their time and services to the University at school events.
The squad administers first aid to sick students during concerts and some campus festivals and sports tournaments. UM guidelines prohibit the squad, or any other campus group, from charging students user fees.
The Student Health Advisory Committee, an umbrella organization for health-related student groups, receives $3,000 a year from the Student Activity Fee Allocation Committee, which disperses the monies collected from the $57 per student activity fee.
Alan Dias, chief of First Aid Squad operations, said since the squad gets supplies from the Health Center, it is ineligible for SAFAC funds. “Last year we did apply to SAFAC for funding but we were told that because we were included in the Health Center budget, we couldn't receive funding as a separate organization," he said.
Flipse directs SHAC, which allocated funds to the First Aid Squad, BACCHUS and Lifelines,

Oster, a senior representing the College of Arts and Sciences, will begin his second term immediately-
“He has done an excellent job with the Honor Council and with academic integrity on campus," said Bill Mullowney, secretary to the council.
“I am thankful for having been given the opportunity to improve on the successes of last year,” Oster said.
Streiter is a junior who also represents Arts and Sciences. This will be his first year on the council.
Oster said the council wanted a qualified junior to assume a leadership position, so that next year’s council will have at least one experienced guide.
“I’m sure he’s going to do a great job,” Mullowney said.

Ticket sweeps election ballot
By AMY ELLIS
Assistant News Editor
Last week's Student Government elections produced a greater voter turnout than in previous fall semester campaigns, said Election Commission Chairperson Laura Adams.
Adams attributed the turnout of 565 students over the two-day period to the national elections which coincided with the first day of SG elections.
“People were thinking of voting,” she said.
Adams chairs the nine-member Election Commission, which conducts SG elections and hears complaints about the procedures involved.
Adams said three of the 19 seats up for election were contested, and the “Best” ticket swept the polls, taking every seat.
The two referendums on the ballot also passed, Adams said.
The first, asking students to approve an $8.25 increase in the student activity fee, passed by a vote of 380 for and 170 against.
Hurricane top Jobs available
On Nov. 22, the University of Miami’s Board of Student Publications will elect next semester’s Miami Hurricane editor in chief and business manager. Students interested in either job should obtain an application from Pam Hernandez in Whitten University Center 221.
The second referendum asked students to allocate 50 cents of the increase, if it passed, to organizations which presently do not receive funding from the Student Activity Fee Allocation Committee. That referendum passed, 377 to 175.
“It may have been kind of difficult for some people to understand,” Adams said of the second referendum’s wording.
According to Adams, only one formal complaint was filed, but it did not concern any of the candidates.
“The only complaint I got about fairness was about the way it |the first referendum! was worded," Adams said.
Adams said one student complained that the referendum was worded as a “loaded question” containing propaganda to influence voters.
The referendum compared the large increase in tuition over the last five years to the much smaller increase in the activity fee. Adams said the text of the referendum was written and approved by the SG senate.
“I have to put on the ballot what SG passes,” Adams explained. “We just printed what we had to.”
C. Dean Furman, speaker pro tempore of the senate and co-author of the referendum, said the wording was patterned after the “first successful referendum that was passed to raise the student activity fee" in the spring of 1984.
SG election results
These are the winners of the Student Government elections held Tuesday and Wednesday. 'B' stands for the Best ticket, and T indicates that the candidate ran as an independent. If more than one seat was up for election, it is noted in parenthesis. The total number of voters for both days was 565.

Relief
focuses
anew

The University of Miami's Hurricane Relief Fund is concentrating its aid to Jamaica which was devastated by Hurricane Gilbert last month. The fund will now only send money and supplies to the Jamaican campus of the University of the West Indies.
“We're going from the big picture of the country to the small picture of the University of the West Indies,” said Dr. William Butler, vice president for Student Affairs. “It seems to me that institution to institution, students to students and faculty to faculty makes more sense than trying to hit the country as a whole."
Approximately 15 students and 15 faculty members, staff and off-campus volunteers attended the third Hurricane Relief Fund meeting Thursday morning. One objective was to organize all of the actions UM has already taken to aid Jamaica, Butler said.
Several campus organizations have worked together to raise food, clothing, money and supplies for the Hurricane Relief Fund. Some of their donations thus far include:
•	Marriott Food Services sponsored a "Skip a Meal” program in October to raise money for the relief fund. Approximately $325 worth of meals were donated, and Marriott’s donation rounded that figure to $500. The money will be converted to food products and sent to UWI, said Efren Gort, general manager of the University of Miami Dining Services.
•	About 80 mattresses have been donated to the effort by the
