’89-90 tuition raised 9.8%
Faculty salaries to increase
By USA FRANKEL
News Editor
I hi University of Miami will increase undergraduate student tuition 9.8 percent next year according to 1990 budget policy recommendations which will be made final in April. The increase will raise undergraduate tuition $1,059 a vear, from the present $10,801 to $11,860.
Tuition for law, medical and graduate students will rise 9.9 percent
The increase was established as part of a five year financial plan begun last year, which also calls for increases over the next four years. However, the rate of increase will decrease each of those years, said Provost L uis Glaser.
(»laser said that the tuition increase is necessary to pay for faculty pay raises and short-term construction costs of the new engineering and physics buildings
According to charts provided by Paul Sugrue, vice provost, tuition provides $142.9 million of LIM's $237.9 million revenue budget.
“It's my feeling that this increase will create a tremendous hardship for many students. Sure we understand that you need money to pay bills and construct buildings, but that's their justification every year," said Freddie Stebbins, Student Government president.
Stebbins stressed that the goal of Student Government was to generate funds for some apparent and tangible improvements such as renovations in the Whitten University Center. However, he felt that these accomplishments, even with an increase in financial aid, are only solace to those students
who pay.
“At best we view it(the increase) as a necessary evil,” Stebbins said.
UM is no longer competitive iri regards to faculty pay, Glaser said. Colleges and schools will decide how much to pay their professors, he said, but the salary increases will be based on merit and various special needs.
The tuition money will also be used to help finance beginning construction on the new science and physics buildings, the provost said. James I . Knight’s $56 million gift to UM will help pay for the buildings, he said, but the money will not be available for two years.
(’laser stated that for those two years, UM will finance $1.2 to $1 1 million a year in order for const nation on the facilities to begin as soon as possible — probably this spring. UM has not vet signed a contractor to the project, Glaser said.
Further use of the tuition funds will be help finance and expand the different laboratories in the schools, such as new' pianos for the School of Music and updated video equipment for the School of ( ommunication. Glaser added that an incentive program will be initiated in which schools raise money for their causes and UM will match that money dollar for dollar.
The budget recommendations also suggest that an additional $100,000 be placed in the OttoG. Richter Library book budget. "This library needs more money for books, not less,” Glaser said.
Glaser said that the University is also currently considering computerization of the Otto G Richter Library's files. A decision, he said, is still pending.

Starting next fall, commuter students at the University of Miami will have a commuter affairs office devoted to their unique contents and needs, according to Di William Butler, vice president for student affairs.
The Office of Commuter Student Aflairs and the Director of Commuter Affairs position have been approved in next year’s budget," Butler said.
I he new office, under thf guidance of Dr. Craig Ullom, the new director of student life, will offer
a variety of services and programs lor commuters, including special orientation programs for freshmen, publication of a commuter student newsletter and the development of a Faculty Fellow program. A Director of Commuter Affairs has not yet been named, Butler said
The office would also focus on the parking problem and offer commuters a variety of information and referral services related to apartment listings, public transportation and car pooling.
Carolyn Salisbury, president of the Roadrunners Commuter Student Organization, said the group
has assumed much of the responsibility for commuter student needs.
"Roadrunners has assumed a tremendous burden," Salisbury said. "We've tried to do everything for the commuters, but in order to best serve the commuter student body, a professional administrator and support staff needs to be hired."
Salisbury said many commuters feel overlooked and neglected by the University.
"There is a tremendous amount of programming done for resident .students," Salisbury said. "From day one, the commuter
student feels left out and isolated."
Butler said he hopes the new office will increase the involvement and retention of commuters at the University by making them more aware of campus events and opportunities.
"It is much hoped that we can develop the Whitten Center into a residential college for commuter students," Builer said
After the successful implementation of the residential college system for on-campus students, Butler said it is now "the natural

On a sparkling Jan. 2 evening in 1984, the University ot Miami
battled the University of Nebraska in the golden anniversary edition of I he (»range fiowl Classic in n game which marked the turning
point for Hurricane football.
In what many have called the most exciting college football game overplayed, Miami, led by a wild-throwing freshman quarterback named Bernie Kosar. beat an undefeated and top-ranked Corn-husker team that was favored by two touchdowns, 31-31), to win its first-ever national title.
Exactly five years later, the Hurricanes and Huskers met again on the same date, same time, same channel and same field, hut the situation was not nearly the same.
Miami was now an established winner and a heavy favorite while Nebraska had played bridesmaid to Big Fight rival Oklahoma for the last four years.
I he biggest difference, however, was in what the game actually meant.
In 1984, the game decided the national champion.
In 1989, the game decided the runner-up.
Only minutes after Notre Dame beat up on an overmatched and overhyped West Virginia team to win this year's title, the Hurricanes blitzed Nebraska with an incredible first-half performance which put them up 20-0 and allowed them to coast the rest of the evening to a dominating 23-3 victory.
Did someone hear the word "blitzed"?

Excavation
neglected

Little Salt Spring, an underwater laverti in western central Florida, is an archeological site given to the University of Miami in 1982 by General Development Corporation, a private land developing company, said John Git lord, associate professor of anthropology. The site is currently only partially excavated.
Giftord, who conducted research on the site in 1986, uncovered a 7.110(1 year-old human skull w'itli brain tissue still intact. I his is what makes the site very important.
Research done at this site, however, has been limited because of the monetary cost involved Gifford said. I he actual excavation site at Little Salt Spring is 100 feet below water which has "strong corosive properties,” Gifford said. In terms of people and equipment if becomes a very expensive project, he added.
According to Gifford, the uni-versitv does not supply money to do research and any further funding of the project will have to come through federal channels guch as the National Science Foundation.
"The university has nothing to do with underwriting the cost of research," Gifford said. According to him, what the university does is pay for the mainteneiice of the site.
Vice President for Business and Finance David l.ieberman has said that he has not received my requests from the anthropology
